Bank Application Resources – Brokered Deposit Waiver

Section 29 of the Federal Deposit Insurance Act (“FDI Act”) restricts less than “well capitalized” institutions from accepting brokered and high-rate deposits. An institution with a capital category of “adequately capitalized” may accept deposits from a deposit broker only if it has received a waiver from the FDIC. An institution that has a capital category of “undercapitalized” or worse is prohibited from accepting deposits from a deposit broker. This page includes resources regarding the processing of brokered deposit waiver applications.

For more information and resources on brokered deposits, please refer to the Banker Resource Center Brokered Deposits webpage.
