ICBA and the Bank Policy Institute wrote to the FDIC regarding Albert Corporation’s application on behalf of its proposed Utah state-chartered industrial bank (“Albert Bank”) for FDIC insurance. ICBA and BPI said until Congress closes the industrial loan company loophole, the FDIC should exercise its statutory authority to protect the Deposit Insurance Fund and the broader banking system by declining to approve applications that present risks.
They added that the regulatory arbitrage inherent in allowing a technology company to own an FDIC-insured bank without being subject to the consolidated supervision and activity restrictions placed on Bank Holding Company Act banks should be reason enough for FDIC to deny this application and the unique circumstances of Albert’s proposal present additional concerns regarding the independence of the bank.
ICBA wrote to the Treasury Department to express concern about IRS procedures that require community bank trust officers to use their personal Social Security Numbers when applying for an Employee Identification Number for a trust or estate for which the bank serves as trustee, executor, personal representative, or other fiduciary.
ICBA said that in today’s heightened cyber risk environment, bank employees should not be required to expose their personally identifying information and that a simple solution would be to create an exemption that allows a bank to use its corporate EIN when applying for an EIN on behalf of a trust or estate.
The Independent Community Bankers of America (“ICBA”) appreciates the opportunity to provide comments on the Federal Financial Institutions Examination Council’s (“FFIEC”) notice and request for comment related to proposed revisions to the Uniform Financial Institutions Rating System (“UFIRS”), more commonly referred to as the CAMELS rating system.
ICBA supports the FFIEC’s efforts to improve the effectiveness of the CAMELS rating system as a supervisory tool and to increase public confidence in supervisors’ assessment of the banking system. ICBA particularly supports placing appropriate guardrails to reduce excessive subjectivity.
