The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) is responsible for the resolution of failing financial institutions. Past financial crises have taught the FDIC a great deal about how best to resolve a failing financial institution and in its role as receiver, how best to fulfill its fiduciary obligation to creditors of the receivership. Following is a handbook which describes the FDIC’s resolution and receivership process.
