Bill information

Summary

To amend the Federal Deposit Insurance Act to modify the amount of reciprocal deposits of an insured depository institution that are not considered to be funds obtained by or through a deposit broker, and for other purposes.

Plain-language summary

This bill modifies federal rules about how banks can accept deposits from brokers without triggering stricter regulations. Specifically, it changes the amount of 'reciprocal deposits' that banks can receive and still avoid being classified as using a deposit broker. Reciprocal deposits are funds moved between banks through third parties to spread risk and ensure deposit insurance coverage. The bill has passed the House and is now being prepared for Senate consideration. Banks and deposit brokers would be affected by any changes to these limits.
