What September’s Rulemaking Means for Your Bank

October 1, 2026

September’s rulemaking was unusually heavy, but the direction is consistent: regulators are widening access to payment systems while lessening regulatory reach and discretion. The competitive question is no longer whether nonbanks will get access to these systems, but how community banks respond to their customers’ demands and the rapidly changing payment landscape. 

Farley Law helps community banks navigate these strategic decisions. From evaluating digital asset opportunities to merger planning and partnership agreements, we provide the regulatory insight to keep your institution ahead of the curve.
