FDIC extends brokered deposit comment period

Agency Rule-Making & Guidance Federal Issues FDIC Brokered Deposits Fintech Covid-19

On April 3, the FDIC announced the extension of public comment on its notice of proposed rulemaking (NPR) on revisions to the agency’s brokered deposit regulations. Due to challenges associated with the Covid-19 pandemic, the deadline for submitting comments is now June 9. As previously covered by InfoBytes, the NPR would modernize and establish a new framework to ensure the “classification of a deposit as brokered appropriately reflects changes in the banking system, including banks’ use of new technologies to engage and interact with their customers.”
