Primary-source evidence

Evidence-reviewed provider snapshot

Last reviewed 18 Aug 2026. Unknown fields remain unknown rather than being inferred.

Evidence reviewed
Regulation / role

The OCC conditionally approved Protego Trust’s conversion to Protego Trust Bank, N.A. in February 2021 while it was still in an organizational phase and required conditions to be met before operation.

Security assurance

No current operational custody-security assurance should be inferred from the historical conditional approval.

Asset protection

The 2021 approval describes intended cryptocurrency custody after conversion; current client-asset protection cannot be asserted without current operating evidence.

Institutional services

The 2021 OCC decision contemplated fiduciary and custodial digital-asset activities after successful conversion and satisfaction of pre-conversion conditions.

Procurement caveat: Moved to Status Watch. Keep the historical SEO profile, remove normal custody-comparison/introduction signals, and require fresh primary evidence before reactivating.
