Summary:
For the first time in nearly a decade, the FDIC unveiled a comprehensive overhaul of the agency's flagship website. The newly redesigned FDIC.gov offers bankers, consumers, and analysts easier access to the agency's most popular content, including a new Banker Resource Center .
Statement of Applicability to Institutions with Total Assets under $1 Billion: This Financial Institution Letter (FIL) applies to all FDIC-insured institutions.
Highlights:
- The Banker Resource Center provides a one-stop shopping experience for directors, trustees, officers, and staff of FDIC-supervised institutions seeking supervisory resources to promote the safe-and-sound delivery of banking services and products for their community and customers.
- The Banker Resource Center has information on topics such as accounting, credit, consumer compliance, capital markets, and the Bank Secrecy Act, as well as relevant informational videos and prior webcasts and teleconferences.
