FDIC alleges Cross River engaged in 'unsafe' lending practices

The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) has requested Cross River Bank – known for its services to fintech and crypto firms like Visa and Coinbase – to “self-correct” and appropriately address weaknesses in its lending activities.

On April 28, the FDIC made public a consent 

The order was executed with the bank only days before Circle, the stablecoin issuer behind USD Coin (USDC), partnered with Cross River for banking services ­on March 13.

Circle had sought the new partnership, after the collapse of it’s previous provider, Silicon Valley Bank.
