Exception to Executive Officer Loan
Limits For Purposes Other Than an Education or a Home
|
Section 337.3 of the FDIC's rules and regulations
places a limit of $100,000 on loans that a state nonmember bank can make to its
executive officers for purposes
other than an education or a hone, such as commercial loans, farm
loans and other types of consumer loans. On December 20, 1994, the FDIC Board
of Directors agreed to provide an additional exception for "other purpose"
loans that are fully secured by the following collateral: (1) securities,
takeout commitments, or guarantees of the United States or any corporation
wholly owned by the United States; or (2) a segregated deposit in the lending
hank. The amendment parallels recent changes by the Federal Reserve Board
regarding loans to executive officers of member banks. The FDIC's final rule
became effective when it was published in the Federal Register on December
28,
1994.
As part of the rulemaking process, the
FDIC received several recommendations
far additional exceptions to the restrictions an loans to executive
officers.
These recommendations will he considered as part of the interagency effort
to
eliminate unnecessary regulatory burden.
A copy of the final rule is
attached. For more information, contact Michael D. Jenkins, an
Examination Specialist in the FDIC's Division of Supervision
