Financial Services in Mid-Atlantic / DC Metro: what makes this market distinct
Washington DC's financial services sector is anchored by the federal regulatory agencies themselves — the Federal Reserve, OCC, FDIC, CFPB, and SEC all maintain significant operations in the DC metro. Capital One operates its core banking and card technology platform from McLean, Virginia. The concentration of regulatory bodies creates a unique environment where technology decisions are made in close proximity to the regulators who will eventually examine the systems.
Engineers working in DC banking must understand regulatory examination processes as well as regulatory frameworks.
