FDIC

The four prudential agencies, which will enforce the new credit loss methodology developed by the Financial Accounting Standards Board, said they want to promote consistency.

The three federal bank regulators often say they want to work together to reform the Community Reinvestment Act. But once again, a senior official has raised the possibility the agencies will move separately.

Executives sent a letter to the federal banking regulators last month expressing concern that an alternative to the London interbank offered rate could limit credit availability.

As part of an effort to reduce regulatory burden, the agency will retire policy statements from the 1980s and '90s dealing with securities subsidiaries, failed-bank receiverships and other matters.

All personnel will qualify for up to six weeks of paid leave following the birth, adoption, or foster-care placement of a child in their home, the agency said.

Even with the FDIC actively encouraging groups to start banks, challenges like raising capital and low interest rates make it tough.

The reforms will result in significant changes to the proprietary trading ban first proposed by former Federal Reserve Chairman Paul Volcker and mandated in the Dodd-Frank Act.

Regulators should consider online lending and a list of what loans qualify for CRA credit in any revamp of the outdated law.
