In a highly anticipated proposal, the central bank outlined a new approach for its post-crisis supervisory program that divides banks into different tiers based on size.

A deal between TD Bank and a Vermont nonprofit is just one example of how banks are getting creative in addressing affordable housing needs while reaping financial and regulatory benefits.

The Federal Reserve Board’s meeting to discuss supervisory standards for midsize institutions will be closely watched by regulatory relief advocates and those who want the Fed to maintain its firm hand.

The central bank should consider rescinding the bank’s “financial holding company” status, which allows it to participate in nonbank activities, given its inability to respond to internal management problems.

The central bank will hold an open meeting Oct. 31 to discuss changes to the enhanced supervisory regime as required by the regulatory relief bill passed in May.

The bank failed to tell investors that the success of its cross-selling was built on “sales practice misconduct at the bank,” the state attorney general said.

Banks technically relieved of the “systemically important” label in last spring’s legislative package are lobbying regulators hard over concerns that they could still face tough standards.

A shifting C&I landscape, heated competition for deposits and red flags in consumer lending also took center stage in often testy exchanges between bankers and analysts on quarterly earnings calls.

Financial regulators sought to walk a fine line Tuesday between reassuring Republican senators that they are quickly implementing regulatory relief and defending themselves against Democratic criticism that they are going too fast.

Echoing House members, five Republican senators called on the Federal Reserve Board to rethink its surcharge in order to eliminate “excessive” capital requirements.

The letter from 29 Republicans, including some who may chair the House Financial Services Committee next year, urges the Federal Reserve’s top regulator to "recalibrate" the capital surcharge for banks like JPMorgan Chase and Citigroup.

The Fed and FDIC are at odds over how proposed changes to the supplemental leverage ratio would change megabanks’ capital levels. Here's why both estimates are right but misleading.

The Federal Reserve’s top regulator says proposed capital changes make system safer while overall capital levels are unchanged.

The outgoing No. 2 of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corp. and the agency's former chair say the proposed changes would increase the likelihood of another financial crisis.

During earnings calls, bankers praised regulators' latest efforts to modify capital rules. JPMorgan Chase CFO Marianne Lake, meanwhile, called on policymakers to focus on overhauling the G-SIB surcharge.

Over the past week, regulators have proposed the most substantial changes to capital requirements for the largest banks in years, but the most startling thing was how unremarkable they were.

Federal Reserve Vice Chairman for Supervision Randal Quarles on Friday gave the clearest indication yet of the central bank's intention to recalibrate the regulatory framework for the nation’s largest banks.

Federal Deposit Insurance Corp. Chairman Martin Gruenberg raised concerns about provisions that would significantly increase the systemic risk threshold for large banks, as well as one that would change the calculation for the supplementary leverage ratio.

Unlike a visiting sports team, foreign banks can't just blame local referees they perceive as biased for penalties or fines.
