EXTERNAL RISK EVENTS REPORT SUMMARY
Capital Performance Group tracks events at financial institutions and financial
technology firms across the country which could have risk implications for the industry.
This sample report focuses on events at large banks in the United States as well as
selected nonbank financial companies, fintechs, and payments companies.
Within each risk type, events are sub-divided into three categories based on the relative
significance of the event or the size of the fine or penalty levied against the institution in
question:
The report contains a recap of legislative actions, proposed regulatory rules and
enforcement actions among U.S. regulatory agencies involved in financial oversight.
External events are organized under eight types of risk for easy review:
1. Market/Interest Rate Risk – changes or potential changes to rates
2. Liquidity – changes to markets or regulations that could impact an institution’s
ability to fund its assets
3. Credit – instances of increased charge-offs or nonperforming loans in a particular
credit segment
4. Operational – when the failure of a system, process, or person results in a loss or
penalty
5. Fiduciary & Suitability – when an institution fails to act in the best interest of
either shareholders or clients
6. Regulatory Risk– when an institution is penalized due to noncompliance with a
law or regulation
7. Reputational – ongoing lawsuits/investigations and settlements of lawsuits
8. Strategic – changes in the competitive environment of a market that could impact
the ability of other institutions to meet their strategic goals

OCTOBER 2020 OVERVIEW
NOTABLE RISK EVENTS (PAGES 7 -22)
Market/Interest Rate Risk (pg. 7):
• Daily COVID-19 cases in the U.S. have been
increasing since mid-September and reached
an all-time high of 88,500 on October 29th.
Infections have risen in almost every state.
• The U.S. Department of Labor Department
reported that the producer price index (PPI)
rose 0.4% in September, which was higher than
what many economists had predicted. It was the
first year-over-year gain in the PPI since March.
Liquidity Risk (pg. 9):
• The Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis reported
that deposits at U.S. commercial banks rose
19.0% between January and September of this
year, and analysts expect that elevated deposit
growth will continue for the remainder of 2020.
Operational Risk (pg. 11):
• The Small Business Administration (SBA) is
requiring businesses that received Paycheck
Protection Program (PPP) loans of $2.0MM or
more to complete a nine-page questionnaire.
Lenders are required to deliver the
questionnaires back to the agency within 10
days.
• New advertising guidelines issued by Google
prohibit the targeting of digital ads for credit,
and certain other products and services, using
gender, age, parental status, marital status or
zip code.
• JPMorgan Chase & Co. CEO Jamie Dimon said
the bank has reduced bonuses for certain
employees who failed to help the bank in its
diversity efforts.
N O T A B L E L E G I S L A T I V E & R E G U L A T O R Y E V E N T S ( P A G E S 4 - 6 )
• The New York State Department of Financial Service issued guidance for financial institutions to
incorporate climate-related risks into their strategy, risk management and corporate governance.
Regulatory Risk (pg. 14):
• The Office of the Comptroller of the Currency
(OCC) fined USAA Federal Savings Bank, the
banking subsidiary of United Services
Automobile Association, $85.0MM for
deficiencies in the bank’s risk management
program.
Reputational Risk (pg. 16):
• Big banks including JPMorgan Chase & Co.,
HSBC, and Morgan Stanley pledged to adopt
financing commitments aligned with the goals
of the Paris Agreement, which aims to achieve
net-zero emissions by 2050.
Strategic Risk (pg. 17):
• JPMorgan Chase & Co. could roughly double
the adviser ranks in its wealth management
division by hiring as many as 4,000 advisors in
the next five to six years.
• Wells Fargo & Co. announced an exit from the
student lending business and is reportedly
considering divesting its asset-management
unit.
• KeyCorp is exiting indirect automobile lending
and will focus more resources on residential
mortgages and its Laurel Road student loan
refinance business.

R E G U L A T O R Y E V E N T S
1. The New York State Department of Financial Service issued guidance for financial institutions
to incorporate climate-related risks into their strategy, risk management and corporate
governance. It is the first U.S. banking regulator to issue guidance on climate risks. Among other
recommendations, the department suggested that institutions designate a board member or
committee, as well as a senior management function, to oversee climate risk. The department also
recommended that institutions incorporate climate risk disclosures using the framework developed by
the Task Force for Climate-related Financial Disclosures (TCFD).
2. The Federal Reserve made further revisions to the Main Street Lending Program. The minimum
loan amount under the program was reduced to $100.0K, from $250.0K. Also, for loans below
$250.0K, the Fed will waive the 1.0% fee it collects from lenders, and participating banks may charge
borrowers a 2.0% origination fee.
3. The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) issued a final rule to restate and clarify
prohibitions on harassment and abuse, false or misleading representations, and unfair
practices by debt collectors when collecting consumer debt. The rule focuses on debt collection
communications and gives consumers more control over how often and through what means debt
collectors can communicate with consumer borrowers regarding their debts.
4. Fintech company Social Finance Inc. (SoFi) (San Francisco, CA) received preliminary approval
for a national bank charter from the OCC. The application was filed in July, and if it receives final
approval, it would enable SoFi to directly provide Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC)-
insured deposits and make loans without a bank partner.
5. The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) is dropping a plan that would have raised the
Form 13F reporting threshold to $3.5B invested in equities, among other holdings, from the
current $100.0MM. The move comes as public companies and others criticized the proposal, arguing
it would have hampered market transparency.
6. The OCC finalized its “true lender” rule. The final rule was largely unchanged from the
proposed version in July. According to the OCC, a national bank is the true lender if “at the time of a
loan’s origination, it is named as the lender in a loan agreement or if the bank funds the loan. That
means the national bank is responsible for ensuring the loan complies with consumer protection laws,
but it also means that state interest rate caps do not apply.”
7. The Federal Reserve and the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN) proposed a rule
change to the record keeping and travel regulations of the Bank Secrecy Act (BSA). The change
would require banks to retain records of international fund transfers of $250 or less from the current
threshold of $3,000 or more.

8. Enforcement actions by the CFPB may increase under a Biden administration, according to
some industry watchers. Under the current Director Kathy Kraninger, the CFPB has rescinded some
rules and focused mainly on consumer financial education. Among other changes that may occur
under a new administration, observers speculate that the CFPB will initiate more enforcement actions
pertaining to the concept of disparate impact, or unintentional discrimination.
9. The FDIC, OCC, and the Federal Reserve are expected to finalize a pair of projects aimed at
ensuring the 20 largest banks have enough liquidity while minimizing volatility. The two rules
affect the Net Stable Funding Ratio (NSFR) and the total loss-absorbing capacity (TLAC).
10. The FDIC issued an interim final rule to provide temporary relief to banks that experienced
rapid asset growth due to participation in the PPP. The intent of the rule is to neutralize regulatory
burdens that institutions may incur because of increases in their total assets. Under the rule, banks will
be able to use either consolidated total assets as of December 31, 2019 or consolidated total assets
as of the beginning of 2021 to determine audit and reporting requirements in 2021.
11. The SEC Chairman Jay Clayton told an industry conference that the agency is actively working
on regulations that would one day allow for crypto versions of exchange-traded funds (ETFs).
The SEC is reportedly working with other financial regulators such as the OCC and the Commodity
Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) to determine which agencies have regulatory jurisdiction over
different crypto products.
12. The U.S. Department of the Treasury’s FinCEN issued an advisory to banks related to detecting
and preventing unemployment insurance fraud and other illicit activity related to COVID-19. The
FinCEN alert stated that COVID-19-related unemployment fraud could include fictitious employer-
employee fraud, identity-related fraud, and misrepresentation of income fraud.
13. The SBA in conjunction with the Treasury Department, released a simpler loan forgiveness
application for PPP loans of $50,000 or less.
14. Federal Reserve Vice Chairman of Supervision Randal Quarles stated that the central bank is
not currently considering making permanent changes to the supplementary capital ratio of the
largest banks. In May, the central bank issued an interim rule that allowed systemically important
banks to exclude Treasury securities and deposits at Federal Reserve district banks from the
supplementary leverage ratio.
15. The CFPB modified previous guidance regarding whether marketing services agreements
(MSAs) comply with anti-kickback rules, stating that these agreements do not violate Section 8
of the Real Estate Settlement Procedures Act (RESPA). While the CFPB never declared MSAs to
be illegal, the bureau expressed a degree of antipathy toward MSAs.

16. The U.S. Justice Department (DOJ) announced a new Cryptocurrency Enforcement Framework.
The framework lays out threats and challenges associated with cryptocurrency, along with strategies
the DOJ will use to meet those challenges.
17. While policy experts expect that a Biden administration will take a tougher regulatory approach
to financial firms than the Trump administration, many believe that the focus of a Biden
administration would be on rules that address racial injustice, environmental and inequality
issues.
18. The U.S. Treasury Department’s Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) and its FinCEN issued
advisory notices stating that businesses and their cybersecurity advisors could be prosecuted if
they make ransomware payments to cybercriminals who are subject to sanctions. The advisory
notices mean that the decision to pay off a hacker is no longer at the sole discretion of a company and
cybersecurity firms may have to register as money services businesses.
REGULATORY & LEGISLATIVE EVENTS
L E G I S L A T I V E E V E N T S
1. Senator Elizabeth Warren (D-MA), member of the Senate Banking Committee, sent a letter to
14 large U.S. banks asking them to disclose their performance under a recent confidential
Federal Reserve financial stress test. She additionally asked for copies of the banks internal
planning for potential future downturns, and an analysis on how their capital cushions would be
affected in those situations.

10/30 Daily COVID-19 cases in the U.S. have been increasing since mid-September and
reached an all-time high of 88,500 on October 29th. Infections have risen in almost every
state. The number of virus-induced hospitalizations is also at record highs. The
resurgence of COVID-19 infections has led some European countries, such a France and
Germany, to reinstate extensive restrictions on social and economic activity.
10/16 There are indications that inflation is rising. The U.S. Department of Labor Department
reported that the PPI rose 0.4% in September, which was higher than what many
economists had predicted. It was the first year-over-year gain in the PPI since March.
Also, the consumer price index (CPI), which tracks what consumers pay for goods and
services, increased 0.2% in September. It was the fourth straight month that the CPI
increased. The Federal Reserve has stated that inflation must rise above 2.0% annually
before it will consider raising rates.
M E D I U M P R I O R I T Y
10/30 U.S. household spending on goods and services increased 1.4% in September,
according to the Department of Commerce. It was the fifth straight month that
consumers increased spending. However, the level of consumer spending remains
below what it was in 2019, especially for services.
10/29 U.S. Gross Domestic Product (GDP) grew by an annualized rate of 33.7% in 3Q20,
according to the Department of Commerce. The economy has recouped 66.5% of the
GDP that had been lost earlier this year.
10/28 Without additional fiscal relief from the federal government, states are confronting an
estimated $434.0B in budget shortfalls over the next two years, according to Moody’s
Analytics.
10/28 Capital One Financial Corp. ($421.3B; McLean, VA), Discover Financial Services
($113.8B; Riverwoods, IL), and Synchrony Financial ($96.5B; Stamford, CT) reported that
purchase volumes among card holders in September exceeded the level in the same
period last year. While retail spending was higher, outstanding balances were lower than
2019 levels, as were late payment and default rates. American Express Co. ($188.6B;
New York, NY) also showed an increase over the last year in online consumer retail
spending, but had an overall decline in cardholder spending due to a 69.0% drop in
travel and entertainment-related expenditures compared to 3Q19.
10/27 Consumer confidence fell in October as Americans became more concerned about the
prospects for employment and the economic outlook. The Conference Board’s index
decreased to 100.9 from 101.3 in September. The October index was below the median
estimate of 102 in a Bloomberg survey of economists.
10/27 Most consumers expect that their spending will remain the same in the coming months,
as concerns about the COVID-19 crisis, the economy and job market persist, according
to a survey by 451 Research.

10/27 Millions of renters face the possibility of eviction, as moratoriums on evictions expire at the
end of this year. In September, 8.5% of renters, or 2.82 million households missed or
partially paid rent payments, according to an analysis released by the Mortgage Bankers
Association’s Research Institute for Housing America. In addition, a number of renters are
carrying rent payments on their credit cards. Moody’s Analytics estimates that outstanding
rent debt could reach nearly $70.0B by year-end, absent additional federal pandemic
relief.
10/22 Initial claims for unemployment fell to the lowest level since March, according to the U.S.
Department of Labor. For the week ended October 17th, new applications for
unemployment benefits fell to the lowest levels since the onset of the pandemic. As of
October 10th, the number of people collecting regular state unemployment benefits also
fell to its lowest level since March.
10/22 Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden’s plan to raise corporate taxes would have a
modest impact on profits of big U.S. banks and probably would not have an impact before
2022, analysts said. Other aspects of Biden’s plan, including tax credits for low- and
moderate-income households and government spending on infrastructure, could lead to
fewer loan losses and more lending revenue.
10/21 According to the Federal Reserve’s latest Beige Book report, a collection of anecdotes
from business contacts around the country, manufacturing, residential housing, and the
banking industry reported steady growth, while consumer spending and commercial real
estate remained weak.
10/21 The yield on the 10-year U.S. treasury note reached its highest level since June. Investors
and analysts attributed the rise in yield partly to data indicating strong economic growth,
as well as improved prospects for enactment of another federal stimulus measure.
10/19 According to a report from the FDIC, the percentage of unbanked households has
declined. In 2019, 7.1 million U.S. households did not have a bank or credit union account.
This represents 5.4% of the population, which was 1.1% less than the percentage who
were unbanked in 2017.
10/13 Apartment rents in suburbia have been increasing and rents in central business districts
have been declining due to the migration of people from the cities to the suburbs that has
occurred as a result of the pandemic. According to CoStar, rents have declined in San
Francisco by 17.0% since March, by 9.2% in Boston, and between 5.0% and 6.0% in New
York, Los Angeles and Philadelphia. Rents in central-business-districts of major cities are
declining by approximately 1.0% a month, according to CoStar. Many believe that the
migration to the suburbs will continue.
10/8 A survey of economists by the Wall Street Journal found that more than half do not
anticipate a full recovery in employment until 2023 or later, while 34.7% of respondents
expect job recovery in 2022. The majority of economists expected a more rapid recovery
in economic growth.

LIQUIDITY RISK
10/23 The U.S. Treasury market still faces the risk of illiquidity, similar to that which occurred in
early spring of this year, warned Lorie Logan, an executive vice president in the Markets
Group of the Federal Reserve Bank of New York and a member of the Federal Reserve
Bank of New York’s Market Committee. Logan cited the fact that primary dealers
currently hold even more Treasury debt than they did at the onset of the pandemic and it
could be difficult for them to absorb all the Treasury supply should another round of
forced-selling occur.
10/9 Cash, Treasuries and other securities guaranteed by the federal government now make
up more than 35.0% of the combined balance sheets of the 25 biggest U.S. banks,
according to data compiled by the Federal Reserve. That is the largest share on record
dating back to 1985, and is 5.5% higher than the five-year average.

10/29 In contrast to Bank of America Corp.’s ($2.7T; Charlotte, NC) optimistic view on the
financial health of the U.S. consumer, Fiona Greig, director of consumer research at the
JPMorgan Chase & Co. Institute of JPMorgan Chase & Co. ($3.2T; New York, NY),
foresees the likelihood of a wave of consumer debt defaults because unemployment
remains high and no sign of additional federal aid in the near term. “I fear jobless workers
are going to have to make tough choices,” she stated.
10/27 A report by S&P Global Ratings states that global debt-to-GDP is expected to jump
14.0% to 265.0% by year-end. However, the report states that a debt crisis in the next
two years is unlikely because of “the expected economic recovery, a vaccine by mid-
2021, favorable financing conditions, and sovereign, corporate and household spending
and borrowing behaviors.”

CREDIT RISK
10/5 Elevated deposit balances at banks will likely remain into 2021. According to the Federal
Reserve Bank of St. Louis, deposits at U.S. commercial banks rose 19.0%, between
January 1st and September 23rd of this year. Many bankers and analysts expect that
elevated deposit growth will likely continue for the remainder of 2020 and balances may
spike even higher if Congress passes another relief measure.

10/26 Corporate bond defaults have slowed in recent months, leading analysts to hope that the
default rate will be much lower than was initially feared. According to Moody’s Investors
Service, for the twelve-month period ended September 30th, the default rate on U.S.
speculative-grade bonds and loans was 8.5%, which was below the April forecasted rate
of 11.2%. While there is still a high degree of economic uncertainty, and corporate
defaults could still rise significantly, debt investors are optimistic. Fewer corporate
defaults would likely mean fewer job losses and faster growth.
10/22 In general, 3Q20 earnings reports by regional banks showed an improved outlook on
credit quality. The percentage of loans in forbearance programs continued to decline and
charge-offs were generally stable. While most banks made additional provision for loan
loss in 3Q20, the level was well below that of the first two quarters. Executives at many
banks expressed confidence that their reserve levels were adequate to cover anticipated
losses. A few regional banks, including Umpqua Holdings Corp. ($29.4B; Portland OR),
and Fifth Third Bancorp ($202.0B; Cincinnati, OH), released reserves in the third quarter.
However, bank executives and analysts concede that further credit deterioration will
occur in the quarters ahead, and the level of deterioration hinges on the path of the
economic recovery.
10/18 According to a Wall Street Journal report, Americans’ average FICO credit score hit a
record high in July at 711 and has held steady at that level through mid-October. In part,
that is due to financial assistance provided by the government and lenders, as well as
widespread payment holidays on mortgages, auto loans and student loans. The rise in
credit scores is making it difficult for lenders to evaluate applicants’ creditworthiness.
10/17 In September, approximately 26.0 million borrowers missed their student loan payment
and 40.0% of student loan borrowers missed a monthly payment; 22.7% of borrowers
had missed four or more payments. Total missed student loan payments were estimated
to be as much as $29.5B for 3Q20. Student debt borrowers receiving unemployment
rose from 3.0% in early April to 8.0% by the end of September. The Trump
administration has suspended student loan payments, halted collections and waived
interest on federally held student loans until December 31st.
10/15 Credit quality in the leverage loan market has held up better than many had expected
when the economic contraction first took hold. According to S&P Global, the default rate
on leveraged loans reached 4.0% in July, which was higher than the 1.0% rate in 2019,
but well below the double digits some had predicted. Low interest rates, liquidity
provided by Federal Reserve lending facilities, and tighter underwriting standards are
factors which have supported credit quality in the leverage loan market.

10/14 Bank of America Corp. CEO Brian Moynihan expressed optimism about the economic
health of consumer households. Moynihan cited the fact that consumer spending for the
first nine months of 2020 exceeded that of 2019, that the bank’s consumer loan deferrals
have declined by 77.0% since May, and that consumer loan demand has stabilized. As a
consequence, Bank of America released $269.0MM its loan loss reserves for consumer
loan losses. In contrast to Moynihan’s optimism, JPMorgan Chase & Co. CEO Jamie
Dimon stated that the economic outlook remains very unsettled.
10/13 JPMorgan Chase & Co. cut its reserve for credit losses by $569.0MM, after adding
$20.0B to the allowance in the first half of 2020, as charge-offs of bad loans declined
from a year earlier. JPMorgan also raised its outlook for the economy, but expressed
uncertainty about long-term credit quality.
10/9 Fears of a wave of bankruptcy filings in the wake of the economic contraction have not
materialized. After consolidating the separate filings of affiliated companies, Chapter 11
filings from March 1st through September 30th were 28.0% lower compared with the
same period last year, according to a consultant with the American Bankruptcy Institute.
10/5 Industry observers are concerned that an anticipated fall-off next year in the demand for
residential mortgages will lead to a loosening in credit terms. Projections by the
Mortgage Bankers Association (MBA) indicate that growth in residential mortgage
volume will be 4.2% in 2021, or roughly half of the estimated 8.3% growth this year. As
loan demand declines, there are concerns that lenders may be tempted to relax
underwriting standards in an effort to prop-up origination volumes.

OPERATIONAL RISK
10/30 The SBA is requiring businesses that received PPP loans of $2.0MM or more to
complete a nine-page questionnaire. Lenders are required to deliver the questionnaires
back to the agency within 10 days. The Loan Necessity Questionnaire seeks details on
quarterly revenue, capital expenditures, dividend payments and whether any employees
earned more than $250.0K. The questionnaire states that the SBA needs the information
to validate the good-faith certification that borrowers made on their PPP application.
Lenders would be responsible for entering borrowers’ responses into the SBA system,
creating potential risks for data entry errors or misunderstanding the information
supplied by borrowers.

10/30 Some banks are adding risk scenarios that include climate change, pandemics and
cyberattacks in preparation for their Comprehensive Capital Analysis and Review. “We
are thinking about both the likelihood and the increased risk, particularly outside the
bank, in the infrastructures we deal with,” said one panelist at an operational risk
conference.
10/30 The number of customer accounts of Robinhood Markets, Inc. (Menlo Park, CA)
allegedly for sale on the dark web outnumbered those for other brokerages by about 5-
to-1, according to an analysis by Bloomberg. There were more than 10,000 email login
credentials purportedly tied to Robinhood accounts available for sale on the dark web.
Bloomberg states that Robinhood customers have complained for months that their
accounts have been hacked and the response by the company has been inadequate.
10/29 Bank of America Corp. is ending its semi-monthly $200 pandemic pay supplement for
branch employees. The bank will continue other supplemental employee benefit
programs that were instituted in response to the pandemic, including the $100 per diem
in assistance for child care and elder care.
10/29 In an effort to decrease the risk of service outages, JPMorgan Chase & Co. and Goldman
Sachs Group, Inc. ($1.1B; New York, NY) will pause software updates to their retail and
investment banking systems around the final days of the U.S. presidential election in
anticipation of elevated market volatility.
10/28 The SBA’s inspector general warned that more than $78.0B in aid approved for
businesses under the agency’s Economic Injury Disaster Loan (EIDL) program — about
37.0% of the total amount — might have been fraudulently obtained or directed to
ineligible businesses. SBA Administrator Jovita Carranza said the inspector general’s
findings “rest on hasty, incomplete conclusions.”

10/19 New advertising guidelines issued by Google prohibit the targeting of digital ads for
credit, and certain other products and services, using gender, age, parental status,
marital status or zip code. In addition to credit, the prohibitions apply to ads for products
and services related to housing and employment. Google’s action follows a similar
change in advertising policy adopted by Facebook last year.
10/9 JPMorgan Chase & Co. CEO Jamie Dimon said the bank has reduced bonuses for
certain employees who failed to help the bank in its diversity efforts. JPMorgan has
launched a new accountability framework that ties diverse hiring and retention efforts to
year-end performance and compensation decisions.

10/21 Banks are preparing for what could be years of regulatory scrutiny related to their
participation in the PPP. Four banks, including Bank of America, have warned investors
in shareholder filings about PPP regulatory and legal risk. Among the possible risks
facing banks are potential violations of the program’s first-come, first-serve application
rules, failing to help minority-owned and women-owned businesses; maintaining
adequate documentation, and adhering to know your customer rules.
10/21 Procedures for applying for PPP loan forgiveness varies among banks. Some lenders are
reaching out to borrowers and encouraging them to file their applications now, while
others are delaying opening the process in order to make technology upgrades and to
allocate and train staff. Also, borrowers are seeking more clarity on how to qualify for

models, according to a survey from PwC and business lobby CBI. “Almost half of

reconfigure existing space.

permanently. JPMorgan’s possible plans include having some employees work remotely
entirely, some may work on a rotational basis, and some employees may go to the office

10/30 The Department of Labor issued a final rule that stipulates retirement plan fiduciaries
must place financial value ahead of environmental, social and governance (ESG)
considerations in order for a fund to be included in a retirement portfolio. The rule does

core risk-and-return objective of a 401(k) plan. The rule could curb ESG investing in
401(k)s.

Morgan Stanley Bank NA and Morgan Stanley Private Bank NA for unsafe or unsound
practices regarding the 2016 decommissioning of two wealth management business data
centers in the U.S. Among the unsound practices by Morgan Stanley cited by the OCC

conducting proper due diligence in vendor selection and monitoring; and failure to
maintain appropriate inventory of customer data stored on the decommissioned
hardware devices.
10/7 The OCC fined Citigroup Inc. ($2.2T; New York, NY) $400.0MM for failing to correct
difficulties with its risk and control systems, and ordered the bank to upgrade its

mistakenly paying $900.0MM to creditors of Revlon, which prompted the Federal
Reserve to order the bank to submit a remediation plan within four months.

Inc. ($32.1B; Purchase, NY) and Visa Inc. announced double digit declines in revenue
from 2019 to 2020, largely due to effects of border restrictions and social distancing
measures halting international spending and travel spending. The CFO of Mastercard
predicted that personal travel will begin to come back much sooner than business travel,
and it will all be tied to the success of a COVID-19 vaccine.
10/27 HSBC, parent company of HSBC North America Holdings Inc., rolled out new cash-flow
