  • Bank Capital Requirements
    May 10, 2019 Bank Capital Requirements Federal Reserve, OCC and FDIC Propose Amendments to the Supplementary Leverage Ratio Requirements for Custodial Banking Organizations SUMMARY Last week, the Federal Reserve, OCC and FDIC published a joint notice of proposed rulemaking in the Federal Register to implement Section 402 of the Economic Growth, Regulatory Relief, and Consumer Protection Act (“EGRRCPA”), which would modify the supplementary leverage ratio (“SLR”) in their regulatory capital rules to exclude certain funds of custodial banking organizations deposited with certain central banks.1 A banking organization would be considered a custodial banking organization if it is a U.S. top-tier depository institution holding company with a ratio of assets under custody (“AUC”)-to-total assets of at least 30 to 1, or a subsidiary depository institution of any such holding company. Under the proposal, a custodial banking organization would exclude deposits placed at a Federal Reserve Bank, the European Central Bank and certain other central banks from its “total leverage exposure” (the denominator of the SLR), subject to a limit on the amount of deposits that could be excluded calculated as the amount of deposit liabilities of the custodial banking organization that are linked to fiduciary or custody and safekeeping accounts. Comments on the proposal are due by July 1, 2019. BACKGROUND The generally applicable leverage requirements of the agencies’ regulatory capital rules provide that all banking organizations must meet a minimum leverage ratio of 4 percent, measured as the ratio of tier 1 capital to average total consolidated assets. Since January 1, 2018, advanced approaches banking organizations have also been required to maintain an SLR of at least 3 percent.2 The SLR measures tier 1 capital relative to “total leverage exposure,” which includes on-balance-sheet assets (such as deposits New York Washington, D.C.

  • Introduction to Depository Institutions
    Introduction to Depository Institutions Advanced Level Millions of people use financial services offered by depository institutions on a daily basis to help them manage their money. Commercial banks, credit unions, and savings banks are all examples of depository institutions. Many types of companies offer financial services to consumers. But, depository institutions are special in that they accept deposits from consumers and the safety of those deposits is often guaranteed by the government. The range of valuable services tied to deposit accounts (online banking, checking accounts and debit cards, bill payment services, automatic savings transfers) makes depository institutions an important component to a financial plan. Types of Depository Institutions Commercial banks and credit unions are the most commonly used depository institutions. Although both types of institutions offer a range of “banking” services, they are actually quite different in terms of their ownership structure and the types of consumers they serve. Commercial banks are for‐profit depository businesses that offer financial services to both consumers and other businesses. Banks are usually the largest depository institutions and offer the widest variety of services to customers. Credit unions are depository institutions that offer many banking services. But, unlike banks, they are owned by their customers, who are usually called members. A credit union has membership qualifications that require its members share a common bond such as the same employer, the geographic area in which they live or membership in an organization. Credit unions are non‐profit organizations exempt from federal income tax. This feature often allows them to pay higher interest rates on deposits, charge lower interest rates on loans and charge lower fees, compared to banks and other depository institutions.

  • Regulation CC
    Consumer Affairs Laws and Regulations Regulation CC Introduction The Expedited Funds Availability Act (EFA) was enacted in August 1987 and became effective in Septem- ber 1988. The Check Clearing for the 21st Century Act (Check 21) was enacted October 28, 2003 with an effective date of October 28, 2004. Regulation CC (12 C.F.R. Part 229) issued by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System implements the EFA act in Subparts A through C and Check 21 in Subpart D. Regulation CC sets forth the requirements that depository institutions make funds deposited into transaction accounts available according to specified time schedules and that they disclose their funds availability poli- cies to their customers. The regulation also establishes rules designed to speed the collection and return of unpaid checks. The Check 21 section of the regulation describes requirements that affect banks that create or receive substitute checks, including consumer disclosures and expedited recredit procedures. Regulation CC contains four subparts: • Subpart A – Defines terms and provides for administrative enforcement. • Subpart B – Specifies availability schedules or time frames within which banks must make funds avail- able for withdrawal. It also includes rules regarding exceptions to the schedules, disclosure of funds availability policies, and payment of interest. • Subpart C – Sets forth rules concerning the expeditious return of checks, the responsibilities of paying and returning banks, authorization of direct returns, notification of nonpayment of large-dollar returns by the paying bank, check-indorsement standards, and other related changes to the check collection system. • Subpart D – Contains provisions concerning requirements a substitute check must meet to be the legal equivalent of an original check; bank duties, warranties, and indemnities associated with substitute checks; expedited recredit procedures for consumers and banks; and consumer disclosures regarding sub- stitute checks.

  • Warehouse Banking∗
    WAREHOUSE BANKING∗ Jason Roderick Donaldson Giorgia Piacentino Anjan Thakor Washington University in St. Louis September 21, 2016 Abstract We develop a theory of banking that explains why banks started out as commodities warehouses. We show that warehouses become banks because their superior storage technology allows them to enforce the repayment of loans most effectively. Further, interbank markets emerge endogenously to support this enforcement mechanism. Even though warehouses store deposits of real goods, they make loans by writing new “fake” warehouse receipts, rather than by taking deposits out of storage. Our theory helps to explain how modern banks create funding liquidity and why they combine warehousing (custody and deposit-taking), lending, and private money creation within the same institutions. It also casts light on a number of contemporary regulatory policies. ∗For their helpful comments, we thank Franklin Allen, Vladimir Asriyan, Ulf Axelson, Juliane Begenau, Philip Bond, Liam Brunt, Mike Burkart, Doug Diamond, Leo Ferraris, Colm Friel, Nicolae Gârleanu, Anand Goel, Itay Goldstein, Charles Goodhart, Denis Gromb, Chao Gu, Charles Kahn, Bill Keaton, Peter Koudijs, Arvind Krishnamurthy, Yaron Leitner, Ben Lester, Andrey Malenko, Nadya Malenko, Ernst Maug, Martin Oehmke, Clemens Otto, George Pennacchi, Uday Rajan, Adriano Rampini, Daniel Sanches, Tano Santos, Joel Shapiro, Carolyn Sissoko, Janis Skrastins, Javier Suarez, Neng Wang, Lucy White, Andrew Winton, Randy Wright, Tanju Yorulmazer and seminar participants at the 6th Bank of Portugal Conference on Financial Intermediation, the 2015 Colorado Finance Summit, the 2015 Summer Symposium at Gerzensee, the 2015 European Winter Finance Conference, the 2015 IDC Summer Finance Conference, the IMF, the 10th Jackson Hole Finance Conference, the 2016 LBS Financial Intermediation Conference, the 7th Conference on Money, Banking, and Asset Markets at UW-Madison, the 2016 Mitsui Finance Symposium at the University of Michigan, the 2015 Summer Money Workshop at the St.

  • Remittance Transfer Rule Interviews: Questions for Depository Institutions, Credit Unions, Broker Dealers
    1700 G Street, N.W., Washington, DC 20552 REMITTANCE TRANSFER RULE INTERVIEWS: QUESTIONS FOR DEPOSITORY INSTITUTIONS, CREDIT UNIONS, BROKER DEALERS This document is an overview of the type of questions that we would like to ask regarding the temporary exception in the Remittance Transfer Rule. First, there is an overview of the temporary exception. Below that overview are the questions that we will use in our discussions with you. We may not cover every question; however, we hope this list will serve as a useful guide for the types of topics that we would like to cover. OVERVIEW OF THE TEMPORARY EXCEPTION The Remittance Transfer Rule requires regulated institutions to provide disclosures to remittance senders containing information about the price of the transfer, including fees and exchange rates. Generally, all disclosed amounts must be exact. However, the rule contains several exceptions that allow providers to estimate the applicable exchange rate, back-end fees and taxes, and total funds to be received. Some of these exceptions are permanent. The focus of this interview is a temporary exception for insured depository institutions and credit unions.1 The exception is described in section 1005.32(a) of Regulation E. It is currently set to expire on July 21, 2015. For the temporary exception to apply, the provider must meet the following criteria. • Insured institution. The provider must be an insured depository institution or credit union, or an uninsured U.S. branch or agency of a foreign depository institution. • Account-based transfers. The remittance transfer must be sent from the sender’s account with the provider.

  • Supplementary Leverage Ratio Final Rule
    November 19, 2019 MEMORANDUM TO: Board of Directors FROM: Doreen R. Eberley, Director SUBJECT: Regulatory Capital Rule: Revisions to the Supplementary Leverage Ratio to Exclude Certain Central Bank Deposits of Banking Organizations Predominantly Engaged in Custody, Safekeeping and Asset Servicing Activities Summary: Staff are presenting for approval of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) Board of Directors (FDIC Board) a request to publish the attached interagency final rule (final rule) to amend the regulatory capital rule of the FDIC, the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC), and the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (FRB) (collectively, the agencies) to exclude from the supplementary leverage ratio certain central bank deposits of custodial banks, in accordance with section 402 of the Economic Growth, Regulatory Relief, and Consumer Protection Act (EGRRCPA)(section 402). Section 402 defines a custodial bank as any depository institution holding company predominantly engaged in custody, safekeeping, and asset servicing activities, including any insured depository institution (IDI) subsidiary of such a holding company. Recommendation: FDIC staff are requesting the FDIC Board approve the interagency final rule and authorize its publication in the Federal Register with an effective date of April 1, 2020. Discussion: Concur: Nicholas J. Podsiadly General Counsel I. Background A. Custody Banks and the Current Leverage Capital Requirements Certain banking organizations offer fiduciary, custody, safekeeping, and asset servicing services.
