## Source summary

The Paypers reports that Rain applied to establish Rain National Trust Bank as a separately capitalised subsidiary for custody, reserve management and stablecoin issuance/redemption. Operations require OCC approval. The proposed uninsured trust bank would not take deposits, make commercial loans or offer consumer accounts; this is not an approved banking launch.

## Why it matters

The proposal could consolidate regulated infrastructure behind Rain's payment programmes if approved. It does not change the status of existing programmes or establish that a charter has been granted.
