TO: CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER (also of interest to Security Officer)
SUBJECT: Entity Is Conducting Banking Operations Without Authorization
Summary: The Office of the Comptroller of the Currency has informed the FDIC that cease-and-desist orders have been issued against Destiny Capital Mortgage Inc., doing business as Destiny Capital Mortgage Bank, Irving, Texas, for unauthorized banking and mortgage banking activities.

The Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC) has advised the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) that the State of Texas Department of Banking and the Texas Savings and Loan Department have issued cease-and-desist orders against Destiny Capital Mortgage, Inc., doing business as Destiny Capital Mortgage Bank, Irving, Texas, for unauthorized banking and mortgage banking activities. According to the order, Destiny Capital Mortgage, Inc, is falsely representing itself as a bank via the Internet and is engaged in the unauthorized solicitation of deposits from the general public.

Neither the OCC nor the State of Texas Department of Banking has authorized Destiny Capital Mortgage, Inc., to operate as a bank or to conduct the business of banking.

Any information that you may have concerning this matter should be brought to the attention of the State of Texas Department of Banking at 1 (877) 276-5554 (toll free) or via e-mail at consumer.complaints@banking.state.tx.us.
