What We Know about the
Regulatory Reform Proposal |
We’ve
been digging in to the Regulatory Reform Proposal from the White
House and here’s a summary of how we’re beginning to think we
need to shape the debate. Quite simply, the proposal is the most
sweeping, significant possible change to our industry that any
of us has ever seen. If implemented as proposed, it will
completely change a lot of how you do business every day. Of
primary concern in this proposal is the need to preserve the
dual banking system of national and state-level charters that
ensures competitive balance. Other components in the proposal
include a system that addresses “too-big-to fail” institutions
going forward, evaluates and handles systemic risk and attempts
to seal gaps in regulation of products and services that are
currently outside the scope of oversight by established
regulators. These will need work and compromise, but the
concepts are worth working with the administration on. We are,
however, fully opposed to the proposed Consumer Financial
Protection Agency (CFPA). The new agency places banks in a tough
position as it divides consumer protection and safety and
soundness among two different federal regulators. The new agency
would have sole authority to promulgate and interpret
regulations under existing consumer laws such as TILA, HOEPA,
RESPA, CRA, ECOA, HMDA, and FDCPA, and any future consumer
financial services or fair lending laws. If this separation
happens, what the consumer regulator deems good for consumers
could be completely at odds with sound lending, compliance or
financial practices.
It also sets
the stage for confusing and conflicting state-level regulations.
The proposal would set federal minimum protection standards, and
would allow states to set more strict guidelines – an invitation
to state Legislatures to act. And, it would essentially develop
and mandate use of certain products, regardless of whether they
are right for your institution. The main point we’re hammering
home is that the products and services offered by traditional,
FDIC-insured, regulated banks were not responsible for the
economic crisis and recession. |
|
“The
majority of accounts, loans and other financial products offered
by main-street banks are already simple to understand and easy
for consumers to use,” said
Joe Brannen, GBA President and CEO. “For the most part,
people don’t keep money in mattresses, and billions of personal
and business transactions are handled every day without a
hiccup. People have deep confidence and trust in the banks and
their products and services and rely on the banks to manage and
protect their money. Banks offer services responsibly, consumers
use them wisely, and there’s already an effective system in
place for
regulating them.” And, as the ABA’s Ed Yingling
pointed out in his
testimony to the House Financial Services Committee Wednesday,
“The proposal for a new consumer regulator, rather than
rewarding the good banks that had nothing to do with the current
problems, will add an extensive layer of new regulation that
will take resources that could be devoted to serving consumers
and make it more difficult for small community banks to
compete.” Here is a link to
ABA’s full summary of the proposals. Actual legislative
language for the proposals has not been issued, so there’s lots
of work to be done. The CFPA legislative piece may be on a fast
track in the House. Multiple hearings are scheduled for July.
House Financial Services Committee Chairman Barney Frank
(D-Mass.) has indicated he’d like some components possibly
passed by the end of July. We need a full-court press from
bankers at the grassroots level to help your member of Congress
understand why this part of the proposal will be harmful to your
business and your community. More summary and detail to come as
things develop. Last week, we sent a
letter to the Georgia
Delegation outlining our initial concerns. We’ll share resources and post them on our web
site as they’re developed to help you. Please contact
Joe, 404.420.2026, or
Elizabeth Chandler, 404.420.2027, with questions,
suggestions and ideas. |

Andy Williams
Installed as GBA’s 120th Chairman |
Congratulations
to Andy Williams, President, United Community Bank,
Blairsville, on his installation as the 2009-2010 GBA
Chairman during our annual convention June 15-16. During his
remarks to open his term, Andy thanked several of his
professional mentors and used their example as a call to GBA
members to also take time to serve as mentors and teachers to
the next generation of bankers. He also called on members to
focus the year on “leading forward,” with an eye toward learning
the right lessons from the current banking problems and moving
ahead to a better, stronger industry. |
|
He reminded
everyone that being active GBA members is a key to that process. “We all know
that GBA has a tremendous capacity to facilitate and debate
creative ideas for ensuring our collective strength. We need
your help and leadership to identify products, services and
business models that will better serve our banks and our
customers for the long term. On that note, I challenge all of
you to remain active and engaged members in those discussions.”
He stressed continued member participation in GBA’s four
primary strategic areas of focus; 1) government relations, 2)
public advocacy for banking, 3) products and services for banks,
and 4) GBA University education programs. |

‘So, You Bought a Closed Bank…’ Session Highlights Convention
Breakouts |
|
Our Annual
Convention packed an informational punch with nine breakout
sessions. One of the most popular was the panel discussion by
Georgia bank CEOs whose banks had purchased closed banks.
James Stevens, partner at Kilpatrick Stockton, and
Chair of our Bank Counsel Section moderated the panel.
Panelists were Jim Edwards, CEO, United Bank,
Griffin, which bought First Georgia Community Bank;
Bill Linginfelter, Area President, Georgia and South
Carolina; Regions Bank, Atlanta, which bought
Integrity Bank and First Bank Financial Services;
and John Seay, President and CEO, Northeast Georgia
Bank, Lavonia, which bought Freedom Bank of Georgia.
Discussion centered around how to decide whether to bid on a
bank, the bid process, tips for valuing the bank and assets,
tips on working with the FDIC, ideas for retaining customers,
how to decide whether to let deposits run off and suggestions
for employee relations during the transition. |
|
John
Seay also noted the benefits of a transaction being a
loss-sharing deal with the FDIC. But, he noted the loss
sharing benefits are not detailed or explained in quarterly call
reports, so the additional loan assets and their credit quality
could negatively affect how investors, analysts and even media
view the stability of the acquiring bank. We're working on a
proposal to FDIC to better account for assets with loss-share
arrangements on the Call Reports. Also on the closed
bank front, the Athens Banner-Herald ran a
good story about how the closing process works, detailing
the bid process to the actual closing day activities. John is
quoted in the story, and it’s worth a read. |

FDIC Proposes
Alternatives for Finalizing the Transaction Account Guarantee
Program |
|
At a meeting of
the FDIC Board this week, the FDIC voted to present two
alternatives for phasing out its guarantee of
noninterest-bearing transaction accounts exceeding $250,000. The
first alternative is for the program to expire at its original
deadline of Dec. 31, 2009, and the second is to extend the
expiration date by six months through June 30, 2010. Under the
extended time frame, the FDIC would propose an increased fee of
25 basis points as compared to the current 10-basis-point fee on
deposits in such accounts effective on Jan. 1, 2010. |
|
Also
under this alternative, participating institutions
would have the opportunity to opt out of the extended program
and appropriate customer notification would be required. These
proposals will be published for public comment, and GBA will
respond accordingly. We would like to know your thoughts on this
proposal. Should you have questions or a recommendation, please
contact
Elizabeth Chandler at 404.420.2027. |
|

Comment Wanted
About CRA Revisions Related to Student Loans |
|
Regulators are
seeking comments to proposed Community Reinvestment Act (CRA)
revisions to require the agencies to consider low-cost education
loans provided to low-income borrowers when assessing a
financial institution’s record of meeting community credit
needs. The proposal also would incorporate into the CRA rules
statutory language that allows the agencies, when assessing an
institution’s record, to consider, as a factor, capital
investments, loan participations, and other ventures by
nonminority- and nonwomen-owned financial institutions in
cooperation with minority- and women-owned institutions and
low-income credit unions. |
|
Specifically,
regulators are looking for comments about how to appropriately
define “education loans,” “low-cost” and “low-income,” in
the guidelines,
among other changes. Public comments are due 30 days after the
proposal is published in the
Federal
Register,
which is expected soon. Please see the
Federal Register notice. With questions, contact
Elizabeth Chandler, 404.420.2027. |

dollar to the economy while a metro institution may focus on
nutrition, which is always important to everyone. Scheduled
during peanut harvest time, this is a perfect opportunity for
your bank to demonstrate the versatility and value of this $2
billion crop to Georgia’s economy. |

Promotional
ideas and items such as sample peanut packages, recipe
brochures, souvenir peanuts, and gold peanut lapel pins can be

orders is July 31 for banks planning to participate. |
