ICBA urging ILC grassroots outreach

ICBA is calling on community bankers to urge their senators to co-sponsor legislation to close the industrial loan company loophole.

The customizable message on ICBA's Be Heard grassroots action center notes that ILCs pose a significant risk to the financial system and should be regulated like other banking institutions. The Eliminating Corporate Shadow Banking Act (S. 2839) would subject ILCs to the Bank Holding Company Act.

ICBA recently called on the FDIC to deny Rakuten Bank America’s resubmitted ILC application and urged the agency to strengthen its proposal to enhance oversight of ILC parent companies.
