Highlights:
The Federal Deposit Insurance Reform Act of 2005 changed the Federal Deposit Insurance Act provisions for failing to timely pay assessments.
- An institution that fails to timely pay its assessment is subject to a penalty of not more than 1 percent of the late assessment amount due for each day that the assessment is unpaid.
- For late assessment payments less than $10,000, a penalty of not more than $100 may be imposed for each day the assessment is unpaid.
- The FDIC, in its sole discretion, may compromise or modify a late assessment penalty upon finding that good cause prevented timely payment.
