The Financial Services Roundtable, which strongly opposes deposit insurance coverage increases and other aspects of H.R. 3717, shared its estimate of the cost of the bill to the industry in a letter to House Financial Services Committee members late last week.

The ICBA took a critical eye to the Roundtable's flawed estimates and wrote the following rebuttal.
