Meet the New OCC Ombudsman: Larry L. Hattix

The Office of the Comptroller of the Currency announced on February 8, 2008, that Larry L. Hattix, currently Assistant Deputy Comptroller for the Cincinnati/Columbus Field Office, had been named as the agency's Ombudsman. He is succeeding Samuel P. Golden who is retiring effective March 3, 2008.

"The Ombudsman's office performs two critical functions: it provides national banks with a fair and effective process for appealing examiner decisions, and it assists national bank customer who have questions or complaints," said Comptroller of the Currency John C. Dugan. "Larry has extensive experience in examining banks for both safety and soundness and consumer compliance, and that's an ideal mix for his new role as Ombudsman."
