Advisory Letters

Prior to 2005 the OCC issued Advisory Letters to advise bankers and bank directors about activities and situations that could contribute to or detract from the safe and sound management of national banks. After 2005, Advisory Letters were no longer issued by the OCC, but similar content continues to be issued as Bulletins. Advisory Letters remain in effect unless rescinded.
