ABA Congratulates Travis Hill on Confirmation as FDIC Chairman

“We congratulate Travis Hill on his confirmation as chairman of the FDIC and wish him well in this critically important role. Hill’s success in key leadership roles — including acting chair, vice chair and deputy to Chairman McWilliams for policy — has demonstrated a strong understanding of both the policy challenges banks face and the need to re-evaluate regulations that have made it harder for them to serve their customers, clients and communities. His efforts have already had a meaningful impact, and we look forward to working with him on a range of issues, including the need for a rational regulatory approach to merger applications, developing a sound and transparent framework for indexing regulatory thresholds and the FDIC's important role overseeing the deposit insurance program."
