The Fed has raised issues including insufficient due diligence and monitoring processes by the Goldman division when accepting high-risk non-bank clients, the report said, citing people with knowledge of the talks.

Goldman Sachs, the Fed and TxB did not immediately respond to a Reuters request for comment on the report.

“We are not permitted to comment on any supervisory matters related to our regulators,” Goldman Sachs told FT.

The team targeted by the regulator provides banking infrastructure to fintech clients including payment start-ups Stripe and Wise, FT said. TxB’s other business, which provides cash payments services, was not criticized, FT added.

The transaction banking business is a part of the company’s Platform Solutions unit. Along with transaction banking, the Platform Solutions unit houses credit cards and a fintech unit, GreenSky purchased for $2.2 billion in 2021.
