Elizabeth McCaul has been a member of the European Central Bank's supervisory board since 2019. [1] She previously served as superintendent of banks for New York state,and as the head of the New York State Banking Department. Before that,McCaul held senior executive positions at Promontory Financial Group,an IBM company. [2]
McCaul began her career in 1985 as an investment banker at Goldman Sachs,where she specialized in energy and project financing. [3]
In 1995,she joined the New York State Banking Department as chief of staff to Neil D. Levin,a former Goldman Sachs colleague who had been appointed superintendent of banks. McCaul became acting superintendent in 1997 upon Levin's departure,and she continued in that capacity for two years. She established the department's Tokyo office,its second permanent office outside the U.S. [4]
New York governor George Pataki nominated McCaul in December 1999 to become superintendent. [5] Her nomination was confirmed by the New York State Senate on June 7,2000. [6] The role involved regulating and supervising the state's 3,500 financial institutions. [7] Her office established a claims processing office to assist Holocaust survivors and their heirs who were trying to recover assets wrongfully held or stolen in World War II. [8] Her office blocked a proposed merger of the Union Bank of Switzerland and the Swiss Bank Corporation until the banks promised to cooperate on the return of victims' assets. [9]

McCaul negotiated,along with several state attorneys general,a $484 million multistate settlement with Household International Inc. regarding its residential mortgage lending practices. The settlement,which provided $37 million in restitution to up to 25,000 New York borrowers,was at the time the largest predatory lending settlement recorded in the U.S. [11]
In March 2003,McCaul announced that she would step down as superintendent after a short transition period,citing personal reasons. She had recently given birth to her fifth child. At the end of her tenure,McCaul had served eight years with the department and six years as its chief. [12] [13]
In September 2003,McCaul joined Promontory Financial Group,a consulting firm recently established in Washington,D.C. by former U.S. Comptroller of the Currency Eugene Ludwig. She opened the firm's New York office to serve global banks and investment houses,and was its partner-in-charge until 2016.

[18] Within 48 hours of being hired,Promontory had a 25-person team in place in the bank president's ceremonial offices,charged with examining thousands of electronic and paper documents,including some that were written in Latin. [19]
In July 2016,McCaul discussed the Vatican's financial reforms at the annual meeting of the Leadership Roundtable,a Catholic 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization that promotes best practices and accountability in church management,finances,and administration. [20] McCaul said that in 2013,the year the Vatican hired Promontory,confidence in the church and its bank had been undermined by a lack of transparency,internal controls and adherence to international regulatory practices. The financial reforms advocated by Pope Francis helped to make the church and its institutions more transparent,better governed,compliant with regulations and sustainable,she said,adding,“the days of ripping off the Vatican are over." [21]
