Andrew Ackerman: Fintech growth raises questions for bank regulatory rules
Fintech rise poses regulatory questions

Andrew Ackerman argues that while there are valid reasons to tailor regulations for smaller community banks, discussions about deregulation are incomplete if they omit the rise of fintechs engaging in banking-like activities without facing similar regulatory requirements.

Ackerman previously highlighted that mortgage rates have been rising at their fastest pace since 2023, a change tied to the Federal Reserve’s inflation policy. He has also reported that regulators in Washington are scrutinizing Polymarket for allowing bets on bank failures. Both issues reflect ongoing regulatory attention across traditional and emerging financial sectors.
