ABA Statement on OCC FDIC Actions on Bank Supervision

“We applaud the OCC and FDIC for finalizing a rule that will bring needed certainty to bank examination and supervision while ensuring that attention is rightly focused on material financial risks. Today’s actions, along with recent steps the agencies have taken to improve supervision, will bolster the safety and soundness of banks of all sizes and help them better serve their customers, clients and communities by providing more consistency and predictability. Importantly, the rule also ensures that requirements for banks are properly tailored. We thank the agencies for taking these significant steps and look forward to reviewing the proposed rule on matters requiring attention and providing our feedback in the comment process.”
