The banking agencies last year issued revised final guidance on managing the risks of third-party relationships that will replace existing guidance, and they have issued a few updates on specific issues since then. This reflects the fact that vendor management has been an important issue for a long time, but it is apparent that expectations are increasing. The rise of fintech companies and their participation in the banking industry has changed the landscape of risk in important ways, and financial institutions need to adapt.
