What Harris or Trump wins could mean for US financial institutions

The strategy: The winner of the 2024 US presidential election will shape banking and economic policy for at least the next four years—with consequences that likely extend far longer. 

As we near the election, financial institutions (FIs) should prepare for how Vice President Kamala Harris or Former President Donald Trump would affect their industry as president.

What to expect after the election: Both presidential candidates have served in the executive branch before. Their public histories with banking policy give us a decent glimpse into the changes we could expect from their presidencies.
