At a confirmation hearing, Christy Goldsmith Romero, President Biden's nominee to be chair of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC), said she will address toxic workplace culture described in an independent report as "hostile," "misogynistic," and "patriarchal."

Investigators also investigated FDIC Chair Martin Gruenberg's interactions with employees and found them to be "deeply unsettling." The chair has since resigned but will remain until a successor is confirmed. Other nominees at the Senate Banking Committee confirmation hearing included Caroline Crenshaw, nominee to be commissioner on the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), Kristin Johnson, nominee to be the assistant treasury secretary for financial Institutions, and Gordon Ito, nominee to be a member on the Financial Stability Oversight Council (FSOC).
