FIBA Members Advocate for the Financial Industry in Washington, DC

Dear FIBA members,

Hope that everyone fared well during Hurricane Milton!

I wanted to let you know that FIBA members Daniel Gutierrez, Harry Cupp, Chris Phillips, and I took advantage of our time in Washington, DC recently to visit key institutions like the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), the Treasury Department’s Terrorism and Financial Intelligence Office (TFI), the Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC), and the U.S. State Department.

During these meetings, the FIBA team engaged in crucial discussions on issues that directly impact our members and the broader financial services industry. Topics ranged from regulatory developments to compliance challenges, reflecting the pressing concerns of FIBA’s community.

These visits were more than just a formal series of meetings—they were a vital opportunity to represent the interests of our members at the highest levels. By staying engaged with these influential agencies, FIBA continues to advocate for policies that foster a balanced regulatory environment, support innovation, and protect the integrity of the international financial system.

FIBA remains committed to keeping our members informed and connected to the latest developments in the industry. These dialogues in Washington will shape the way we address ongoing and emerging challenges, ensuring that our members are well-positioned to navigate the complexities of the financial regulatory landscape.

We look forward to continuing these conversations and advancing the interests of our members across the financial sector.

Regards,

David Schwartz

CEO & President
