In addition to the standard federal retirement plan, the OCC also offers a 401(k) plan with traditional and Roth options that includes agency contributions and matching.

Examiner Jobs in Mid-size/Community Banks Entry-level bank examiners begin their careers in our Mid-size/Community Bank line of business. This experience provides the foundation for learning the practical aspects of bank supervision. You will work mainly in cities that are home to community banks and will likely be based in one of our 70 field office across the country. Community bank supervision focuses on banks that typically conduct traditional banking activities. While some community banks range from $1 billion to $8 billion in assets, most have less than $1 billion in assets. Mid-size bank supervision generally includes national banking companies with assets between $8 billion and $25 billion. While mid-size banks are located throughout the country, oversight is centralized under a single OCC deputy comptroller located in Washington, D.C., to facilitate consistent supervision. Career Advancement
Careers at the OCC can be rewarding and offer opportunity for advancement. Assistant National Bank Examiners spend six to eight months on a training team participating in bank examinations, meeting with bank managers, and making recommendations and suggestions. Several years of formal and informal training lead to the Uniform Commissioned Examination (UCE). Successful completion of the UCE means a commission as a National Bank Examiner and opportunities to manage an entire bank examination as an examiner-in-charge (EIC). Some examiners go into specialized areas, such as asset management, bank information technology, international banking, capital markets, compliance, credit, and retail credit. |
