Increased Oversight for Industrial Banks and Parent Companies
New rules aim to increase supervision over industrial banks and their parent companies, which are not traditional banks. This means greater security for individuals using these institutions, as they will be subject to more thorough financial and operational checks. The changes are intended to prevent risks in the financial system and protect citizens' deposits.
Key points
Enhanced Scrutiny for Industrial Banks: Deposit insurance applications submitted before September 23, 2021, will require public comment, a public hearing, a 2/3 board vote for approval, and a deadline for decision.
Supervision of Parent Companies: Companies controlling industrial banks that are not traditional banks will face examinations and reporting requirements, similar to large bank holding companies.
Restrictions on Change of Control: Changes in ownership of industrial banks will be more difficult, unless the acquiring entity is already under Federal Reserve supervision or the bank is in financial distress.
Increased Financial Safety: The goal is to reduce risks in the banking system and protect citizens' funds by closely monitoring these institutions.
