  • 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.

  • Electronic Fund Transfers Your Rights
    ELECTRONIC FUND TRANSFERS YOUR RIGHTS AND RESPONSIBILITIES Indicated below are types of Electronic Fund Transfers we are capable of handling, some of which may not apply to your account. Please read this disclosure carefully because it tells you your rights and obligations for the transactions listed. You should keep this notice for future reference. Electronic Fund Transfers Initiated By Third Parties. You may authorize a third party to initiate electronic fund transfers between your account and the third party’s account. These transfers to make or receive payment may be one-time occurrences or may recur as directed by you. These transfers may use the Automated Clearing House (ACH) or other payments network. Your authorization to the third party to make these transfers can occur in a number of ways. For example, your authorization to convert a check to an electronic fund transfer or to electronically pay a returned check charge can occur when a merchant provides you with notice and you go forward with the transaction (typically, at the point of purchase, a merchant will post a sign and print the notice on a receipt). In all cases, these third party transfers will require you to provide the third party with your account number and bank information. This information can be found on your check as well as on a deposit or withdrawal slip. Thus, you should only provide your bank and account information (whether over the phone, the Internet, or via some other method) to trusted third parties whom you have authorized to initiate these electronic fund transfers.

  • Easing Liquidity Regulations to Counter COVID-19 by Priya Sankar, Alexander Nye, and Greg Feldberg
    Easing Liquidity Regulations to Counter COVID-19 By Priya Sankar, Alexander Nye, and Greg Feldberg Original post here. Many countries are easing liquidity regulations to help banks get cash to their customers and to prevent liquidity shortages from spreading across financial markets. Countries are addressing liquidity shortages using two main tools: the liquidity coverage ratio (LCR), which most developed countries implemented in recent years as part of the Basel III agreements, and the more traditional reserve requirement ratio. LCR rules require banks to hold high-quality liquid assets (HQLA) sufficient to meet their needs through a 30-day liquidity stress scenario. Most countries that have an LCR rule have now eased its enforcement, encouraged by the Basel Committee itself in March. Other countries have lowered their reserve requirements, the amount of cash relative to liabilities that banks must hold on reserve with their central bank. A few countries have taken other measures, such as easing rules on foreign exchange liquidity. All of these tools are countercyclical and macroprudential, in that regulators are now using them to spur broad-based lending during a difficult crisis. This blog discusses options for easing liquidity regulations: 1. Which tool to use? 2. How long will the change last? 3. Will the government provide a backstop? 4. Are there targets or conditions for use? Which tool to use? Reserve requirements Central banks have used reserve requirements to pursue monetary, macroprudential, and other policy goals for a very long time. Since central banks generally pay less than other cash-like instruments, reserves are costly for banks to hold.

  • (Automated Teller Machine) and Debit Cards Is Rising. ATM Cards Have A
    Consumer Decision Making Contest 2001-2002 Study Guide ATM/Debit Cards The popularity of ATM (automated teller machine) and debit cards is rising. ATM cards have a longer history than debit cards, but the National Consumers League estimates that two-thirds of American households are likely to have debit cards by the end of 2000. It is expected that debit cards will rival cash and checks as a form of payment. In the future, “smart cards” with embedded computer chips may replace ATM, debit and credit cards. Single-purpose smart cards can be used for one purpose, like making a phone call, or riding mass transit. The smart card keeps track of how much value is left on your card. Other smart cards have multiple functions - serve as an ATM card, a debit card, a credit card and an electronic cash card. While this Study Guide will not discuss smart cards, they are on the horizon. Future consumers who understand how to select and use ATM and debit cards will know how to evaluate the features and costs of smart cards. ATM and Debit Cards and How They Work Electronic banking transactions are now a part of the American landscape. ATM cards and debit cards play a major role in these transactions. While ATM cards allow us to withdraw cash to meet our needs, debit cards allow us to by-pass the use of cash in point-of-sale (POS) purchases. Debit cards can also be used to withdraw cash from ATM machines. Both types of plastic cards are tied to a basic transaction account, either a checking account or a savings account.

Creation of Savings Account 1.1 Introduction The process to open a savings account can be initiated in two ways: When a prospect/customer approaches the bank (via phone/net banking or by walking into the branch) with an account opening request When the bank approaches a prospect - lead from its database In case of a bank-initiated request, the process continues only if the prospect is interested. If the prospect is interested, the bank needs to receive the required set of documents from the customer for savings account opening. Once documents are received, the bank can conduct a New Customer Due Diligence (NCDD) check in case of a new customer. If the NCDD check is not passed for a customer, the application will be rejected in most cases. In case of account opening for an existing customer, the bank can perform a Know Your Customer (KYC) check. For a customer who passes the NCDD check/KYC check, the customer account will be opened in the relevant system and the kit will be dispatched. 1.2 Stages in Account Creation In Oracle FLEXCUBE, the process for opening a savings account is governed by several user roles created to perform different tasks. At every stage, the users (with requisite rights) need to fetch the relevant transactions from their task lists and act upon them.
