If your institution is facing regulatory challenges or you need guidance on how to structure a proposal for success, Katie Cox can help you navigate the regulatory labyrinth. Her network of relationships spans regulators and leaders in banking, financial services, and legal services.

CoxFedLaw provides expert advice and help craft applications for non-traditional financial institutions (such as digital asset banks, fintechs, and special-purpose charters) seeking Federal Reserve Master Accounts. 

The firm’s clients have included both domestic and foreign financial institutions that want to disintermediate their payments and avoid relying on a third-party traditional bank.

By explaining each applicable statutory factor, the firm can offer a clear-eyed opinion on the problematic areas for any given proposal, the likelihood of federal approval, and the expected timing of any decision. This provides critical insight for investment due diligence.
