FDIC Bank Resolution Experience (BRE) Training Program

Overview

FDIC is soliciting interest for the 2020 session of the FDIC’s Bank Resolution Experience (BRE).

One session of BRE will be offered in 2020, from June 8 – 19, 2020 in Dallas, Texas.

The deadline to apply is November 30, 2019.

BRE is a two-week program designed to provide an operational overview of the FDIC’s bank resolution processes in a format tailored for an international audience. FDIC experts will use lectures, exercises, and panel speakers to discuss:

• How the FDIC anticipates and plans for potential bank failures.
• The successful execution of a variety of resolution tools, including payouts, bridge banks, and purchase & assumption.
• Post-failure activity, including asset sales, management, and professional liability investigations.
• The FDIC’s role in resolution planning for systemically important financial institutions.

BRE does not intend to teach international best practices; FDIC experts will only present the FDIC’s approach. By the end of the program, participants should be able to compare what they have learned with their own experiences to determine which lessons may be most applicable to their organizations.
