Subject: FIL 74-2004; required to obtained Assessment invoice thru FDICconnect
I think our small
bank is far more technologically advanced than most our size. And I
personally “love” technology and the Internet.
But I feel it sends the wrong message for FDIC to “force” this
change. There are other technological changes that can save FDIC time
and money (many I am sure it already is using) that will accomplish the
same thing and still not force banks to be responsible for getting their
invoice. I believe that it is FDIC’s obligation to get the invoice
to my bank, not my bank’s obligation to retrieve it. If I as a
homeowner contracted with a building contractor to renovate my home,
I believe that it is the contractor’s obligation to get me an invoice
to pay from. Same thing here.
