The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation is doing what it was designed to do when banks like Silicon Valley and Signature go under: cover insured deposits. Here’s how the FDIC works and why it was created. Photo illustration: Madeline MarshallWhen Silicon Valley Bank ran into financial trouble, its customers ran for the exits because most of their deposits weren’t insured. In the weeks after, dozens of banks tweaked their numbers to reduce the portions of their deposits that they said were uninsured.

☆ Discover dabbles with two types of delinquency
▼ + stars: | 2023-07-21 | by ( John Foley | ) www.reuters.com time to read: +4 min

NEW YORK, July 21 (Reuters Breakingviews) - In the credit card business, delinquency means not paying on time. Discover Financial Services (DFS.N), a large U.S. credit card issuer, is dabbling with a bit of both, and it’s a double concern for shareholders. But it came alongside the revelation that regulators have proposed serving Discover with a punitive “consent order,” for other undisclosed shortcomings. Discover received a consent order from the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau in 2020, as punishment for disobeying another order from 2015. Some 2.9% of Discover card loans were overdue at the end of June, back where they ended 2019.

July 20 (Reuters) - Bank stocks were volatile in premarket trading on Thursday as lenders reported mixed quarterly results, while shares of Discover Financial Services (DFS.N) tanked after it disclosed a regulatory review over some of its credit products. Meanwhile, two major mid-sized banks missed quarterly profit estimates, while one came ahead of Wall Street expectations on Thursday. KeyCorp (KEY.N) shares dropped 2.7% after the bank's profit plunged 50% and it forecast a decline in net interest income. They fell 5.7% in the second quarter compared with a year earlier. Outperforming peers, Fifth Third Bancorp's (FITB.O) shares rose 1.9% premarket as the bank's quarterly profit topped expectations, even as it trimmed its growth forecast for full-year NII.

☆ US consumer watchdog warns no more 'rubber stamp' for bank mergers

Bank executives, meanwhile, complain that regulators' foot-dragging and uncertainty caused by looming regulatory reforms have depressed merger activity among healthy banks to historic lows. That drew the ire of Democratic Senator Elizabeth Warren, who helped create the CFPB and backed Chopra for the director role. Chopra called in May for the FDIC to adopt changes to bank merger guidelines. He declined to discuss possible changes but said the approval process was already evolving, citing a review of bank merger guidelines undertaken in 2022.

The proposal, which will kick off an ambitious agenda for Barr, plans to fully implement the globally agreed Basel bank capital agreement. BANKING OPPOSITIONThe banking industry is not waiting for details before trying to disrupt the effort, arguing it could hinder economic activity, curb lending, and kill lines of business. The criticism is also emerging among some Republican bank regulators, who appear likely to oppose the plans. Regulators will have to digest numerous and voluminous comments from the banking industry dissecting their plans. And in the meantime, banks are expected to continue hammering that higher capital requirements means a smaller economic role for banks and are not needed.

☆ Yes, Wall Street's biggest lenders got even richer after Silicon Valley Bank collapsed
▼ + stars: | 2023-07-19 | by ( George Glover | ) www.businessinsider.com time to read: +3 min

Big banks have released their earnings over the past few days – and it's clear that Wall Street had a good quarter. Back in March, Silicon Valley Bank collapsed after massive losses in its bond portfolio caused customers like Peter Thiel's Founders Fund to pull their deposits from the lender. That deal was one reason why JPMorgan posted record profits in the second quarter, analysts said. JPMorgan made almost $22 billion in net interest income in the second quarter, up 44% from the previous year. Bank of America, Citi, and Wells Fargo also all logged higher net interest income, thanks to the Fed's aggressive tightening campaign.

Investors, worried about the economic atmosphere and the recent regional banking collapse, breathed a sigh of relief at the results. Jamie Dimon, head of JPMorgan Chase, commented on the bank’s Friday earnings call that non-bank financial rivals were “dancing in the streets” as regulators get ready to increase bank capital requirements. “This is great news for hedge funds, private equity, private credit, Apollo, Blackstone,” Dimon said of the proposed regulations. The change, they say, will increase the financial system’s resilience following the failures of three regional banks earlier this year. “The capital in the industry is sufficient,” said Bank of America CEO Brian Moynihan on his company’s earnings call Tuesday morning.

REUTERS/Jason Reed/File Photo(Reuters) - U.S. bank regulators are set to release their plans next week for a sweeping overhaul of capital rules, with the latest draft including requirements for large lenders’ residential mortgages that go beyond international standards, Bloomberg News reported on Monday. The changes would be part of the U.S. version of a global accord known as Basel III that followed the financial crisis, according to the report. The OCC and the FDIC did not immediately respond to Reuters’ requests for comment. The proposal is the first major rule led by Fed Vice Chair for Supervision Michael Barr, who has launched a sweeping review of capital rules and is expected to be tough on Wall Street.

The NumbersBank of America reported a profit of $7.4 billion last quarter, up nearly 20 percent from the year before. Revenue grew more than 10 percent, to $25.2 billion in the second quarter. Customer spending on credit and debit cards rose 3 percent, to $226 billion, the bank said. Notably, the lender’s investment-banking business rebounded in the second quarter, after a sharp drop in deal-making had cast a chill over the industry. Last week, Bank of America was fined $150 million by two federal regulators for charging its customers improper fees and denying them promised sign-up bonuses.

☆ U.S. Treasury posts sharply higher $228 billion June deficit
▼ + stars: | 2023-07-13 | by ( David Lawder | ) www.reuters.com time to read: +2 min

The deficit compares to a June 2022 budget gap of $89 billion. June receipts fell $42 billion, or 9% from a year ago, to $418 billion, while June outlays rose $96 billion, or 18%, to $646 billion. Year-to-date outlays rose $455 billion, or 10% from a year earlier to $4.805 trillion. Higher outlays for Social Security this year have been driven by cost-of-living adjustments, while the interest on the public debt so far this year has risen $131 billion, or 25%, to $652 billion due to higher interest rates. Also driving up outlays were $52 billion in Federal Deposit Insurance Corp costs to resolve failing banks, a Treasury official said.

☆ The high yield on this 1-year CD just got even hotter

Bread raised the annual percentage yield on its 1-year certificate of deposit to 5.35%, an increase of 10 basis points. That bump higher makes it the 1-year CD with the highest yield among banks under Stephens' coverage, according to a Monday report from the firm. Consider that a 2-year CD at Bread has an APY of 5%, while a 5-year CD yields 4.25%. "The past two weeks have been relatively quiet for online bank rate moves, and we wonder if this is holiday-related or if the online bank demand for deposits has slowed," said Vincent Caintic, an analyst at Stephens. He added that another driver behind the deceleration in deposit rate increases could be a slowdown of loan growth among online banks.

☆ Savers should be cheering higher interest rates. So why are they unhappy?
▼ + stars: | 2023-07-06 | by ( Anna Cooban | ) edition.cnn.com time to read: +6 min

London CNN —When central banks raise interest rates, mortgage borrowers can expect higher monthly repayments, while savers are supposed to be rewarded with bigger returns on their deposits. In Asia, the picture is less uniform: China cut its benchmark lending rate last month, adding to recent reductions in other interest rates, and Japan has kept its main interest rate negative in a bid to stimulate demand. However, rates on savings accounts there are closer to the central bank’s main rate than in other major economies. “While interest rates were ultra-low, the mortgage market was incredibly competitive, so [banks] were operating on unusually small margins between savings rates and mortgage deals… so they’re busy filling their boots,” she said. The top 100 US money market funds tracked by Crane Data are offering an average annual interest rate of 4.94%.

☆ US Senator Warren questions Goldman's role in SVB failure
▼ + stars: | 2023-06-30 | by ( ) www.reuters.com time to read: +1 min

Senator Elizabeth Warren has questioned Goldman Sachs' (GS.N) role in the failure of Silicon Valley Bank (SVB) and the profits it allegedly made in the process. The letter said Goldman Sachs benefited further as market turmoil following SVB's failure increased the value of the discounted bond portfolio by an estimated $100 million. Goldman acquired a bond portfolio on which SVB booked a $1.8 billion loss, a transaction that preceded a failed share sale by the lender for which the Wall Street bank was an underwriter. But it's well known that banks don't collect fees when capital raises are canceled," said Tony Fratto, a spokesman for Goldman Sachs. He reiterated that Goldman expects proceeds from the SVB portfolio sale to be closer to $50 million, and not $100 million.

NEW YORK, June 29 (Reuters) - A U.S. bankruptcy judge said Thursday that he would allow SVB Financial Group to sell its investment banking division, once the company has ensured that it is not releasing any liabilities related to the collapse of its Silicon Valley Bank unit. James Bromley, an attorney for SVB Financial, told Glenn that it would remove the liability releases from the deal by Friday. SVB Financial owned Silicon Valley Bank before it was seized by the U.S. Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) in March, and it is attempting to sell its remaining assets in bankruptcy. Glenn also criticized the FDIC during the court hearing, saying he would not allow the agency to block SVB Financial from getting information about its seizure of about $2 billion from SVB Financial' s bank accounts. Silicon Valley Bank's failure in March triggered the worst U.S. banking crisis in 15 years.

June 29 (Reuters) - U.S. banking regulators are asking lenders to work with credit-worthy borrowers that are facing stress in the commercial real estate market. Office loans have posed concerns for some U.S. lenders as property values decline and more borrowers default on their loans. Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell earlier in the month said that U.S. commercial real estate lending remains under pressure but appears unlikely to threaten the broader financial system. Banks represent 54% of the overall $5.7 trillion commercial real estate market, with small lenders holding 70% of the loans in that market, according to Citigroup analysts. More than $1.4 trillion in U.S. commercial real estate loans will mature by 2027, with some $270 billion coming due this year, according to real estate data provider Trepp.

NEW YORK, June 29 (Reuters Breakingviews) - For the biggest U.S. banks, the nerves this year come after the exam. Fed stress tests subject banks to a theoretical market shock and incorporate elements of operational risk, and then spit out a “stress capital buffer” requirement tailored to each firm. The risk for banks is that new rules get piled on top of existing regulations in a process known as gold-plating. U.S. banks are awaiting a proposal from their regulators to revamp capital rules, expected in July. Gruenberg said regulators were considering expanding the reach of a stricter set of capital rules to include banks with over $100 billion in assets.

All offer a much safer future than the alternative.

The Obama administration did the same after the subprime mortgage crisis in 2010. When the totality of macroeconomic conditions are weighed, the dramatically higher capital requirements will threaten financial stability.

Bank regulators led by the U.S. Federal Reserve are finalizing the proposal which would implement international capital standards agreed by the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision in the aftermath of the 2007-2009 financial crisis. On Wednesday, Fed Chair Jerome Powell told Congress it was critical banks have strong capital, but regulators must be mindful of the tradeoffs. Republican officials at the agencies have flagged similar concerns, two people said, while Republican lawmakers on Wednesday also raised worries over capital rules with Powell. The Fed is drafting the Basel rules with the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC) and Federal Deposit Insurance Corp. (FDIC). Speaking to reporters last week, acting Comptroller Michael Hsu said banks had "not been shy about sharing their concerns" which regulators were taking into account.

WASHINGTON, June 22 (Reuters) - The head of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation said Thursday that bank regulators are considering applying an upcoming set of stricter capital rules to banks with over $100 billion in assets. "If we had any doubt that the failure of banks in this size category can have financial stability consequences, that has been answered by recent experience," he said in prepared remarks. "The lesson to take away is that banks in this size category can pose genuine financial stability risks." He added agencies will propose new capital rules to implement an international bank rule agreement in the near future, but will likely not complete the rules before the middle of 2024. But Gruenberg argued it was critical, particularly in the wake of the spring bank failures, for regulators to get tougher rules in place.

WASHINGTON — House Democrats on Wednesday will release a slate of reform bills in response to the recent bank failures that triggered the worst crisis for the sector since 2008. "The failures of Silicon Valley Bank, Signature Bank, and First Republic Bank make clear that it is past time for legislation aimed at strengthening the safety and soundness of our banking system and enhancing bank executive accountability," she said. President Joe Biden called for these actions shortly after the FDIC took over SVB and Signature Bank in March. The bill would have prevented SVB bank executives from cashing out after repeated warnings by regulators, according to Democrats. Neither Signature Bank nor SVB had a bank holding company before they collapsed.

June 19 (Reuters) - Silicon Valley Bank's customers in Asia whose deposits were recently seized by the U.S. Federal Deposit Insurance Corp (FDIC) are under pressure to repay loans to First Citizens Bank, The Wall Street Journal reported on Monday. According to the report, when SVB failed in March, the FDIC stepped in to protect all of the California bank's U.S. deposits and arranged a sale of the lender's U.S. customer accounts, branches and loans to First Citizens Bancshares. SVB, FDIC and First Citizens Bank did not immediately respond to a request for comment. California regulators shuttered Silicon Valley Bank in March and First Citizens BancShares (FCNCA.O) purchased the bank with the help of FDIC in a deal that drained $20 billion from an insurance fund financed by banks and run by the government.
