None of these outlets carries a lean label. Times come from each outlet's own feed and show when we saw its headline, not necessarily when it first published elsewhere.
Corporate card provider Ramp has submitted an application to the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency to obtain a national trust bank charter, according to reports by Payments Dive and Finance Magnates. While Payments Dive reported that the filing occurred on Friday, Finance Magnates noted that the company announced the application on Monday.
According to Finance Magnates, the $60 billion firm intends to use the federal trust charter to safeguard digital assets and oversee investment management in a fiduciary capacity. That outlet also noted that a charter would provide Ramp with an independent federal license, contrasting with its current public positioning as a financial technology platform rather than a bank.
