Summary

What This Bill Does

Modifies FDIC rules to allow banks to hold more reciprocal deposits without them counting as risky brokered deposits. Creates tiered thresholds based on bank size: 50% for banks under B, 40% for -10B, 30% for -250B.

Who Benefits and How

Community banks and regional banks can use reciprocal deposit networks more freely to manage liquidity without regulatory penalty. Deposit network operators like Intrafi gain expanded market for services.

Who Bears the Burden and How

FDIC may have slightly less oversight of deposit concentration. Taxpayers bear marginally increased risk if reciprocal deposits prove less stable than anticipated.

Key Provisions

  • Sets 50% reciprocal deposit limit for banks under billion
  • Creates tiered limits declining as bank size increases
  • Expands definition of qualifying agent institutions
