    Public Comments on Applications

    Written comments on a corporate filing should be submitted to the licensing unit where the bank filed the original application (e.g., Large Banks, International Banking and Finance, or OCC Licensing Unit). For more information, refer to the "Public Comments" section in the Public Notice and Comments booklet in the Comptroller's Licensing Manual .

    Registered Agents

    National banks do not have "registered agents". Therefore, matters relating to registered agents should be directed to the specific bank's president. Please contact the bank directly to obtain the name and business address of the bank's president.
