Take Action Now: File Comment
on FDIC Special Assessment by April 2 |
|
If you haven't
done so already, we strongly encourage you to file a comment
letter on the FDIC's proposed rule to impose a special one-time
20 basis point assessment on banks to replenish the deposit
insurance fund. The deadline for comment is April 2. This issue
continues to evolve.
Although Georgia
Senators Isakson and Chambliss supported
a procedural
amendment that would have increased the FDIC’s borrowing
authority to $100 billion and thus enabled the agency to
reduce its special assessment, the votes weren't there to get
the bill passed. We are optimistic this will
be remedied as the legislation stands a good chance of
passing. Also this week, the Treasury's new plan to establish
markets for troubled loan and securities assets offered some
possible assistance for rebuilding the deposit insurance fund and could reduce the
need for such a special assessment.
|
|
FDIC
Chairman Bair said during a conference call offering a technical
briefing on the program, that the program does not put the Deposit Insurance Fund at risk
and may actually strengthen it, since FDIC will collect fees for
guaranteeing debt issued by the buyer of the legacy loans. "It
is so important that the FDIC hear what you have to day about
this, so please take a couple of minutes to file a comment with
them," said Joe Brannen, GBA president and CEO. For reference,
here's a link to the
comment letter GBA filed last week. It's easy to file
your own comment by using ABA’s
automated system, available on our GBA web site and the ABA
web site. You do not have to be an ABA member to use this

Legislative Update:
Legislature in Final Days – Budget Still Principal Focus |
|
The Georgia General Assembly is still scheduled to adjourn for
the year next Friday. The budget continues to dominate much of
the discussion as the state’s declining revenues seem to be
unabated. There are still a number of major initiatives
unresolved such as transportation funding and whether to
eliminate the Georgia Department of Transportation Board.
Several bills of interest to bankers received action this week:
-
With all the major issues facing our legislators, who would
have thought we would be spending any time debating a bill
that would require banks to provide facilities to house gold
and silver and require any payments made to or from the
state of Georgia be made with gold or silver? But that
legislation was the subject of a House Banks and Banking
subcommittee meeting this week. The author of the bill, Rep.
Bobby Franklin, put together a witness list of
academics, students, individuals and a coin dealer to
support the concept. In testifying before the subcommittee,
GBA President Joe Brannen said to the subcommittee at the
conclusion of his statement, "We encourage you to carefully
consider your options. Frankly, we see no benefit in
pursuing this idea and trust you do as well.” Here's an
article from the Atlanta Business Chronicle discussing
the bill.
George Selgin, the
BB&T
Corp. chair of free-market thought at West
Virginia University and an expert on the history of currency
standards and monetary theory is quoted as saying, “...
after reading over it, I have to think this bill is a bit
kooky.”
-
We have been following
legislation that amends the Georgia Fair Lending Act.
Several committee meetings were chaired by Rep. Mike
Jacobs on the bill this week. It’s been tabled, defeated
and resurrected – all in the House Judiciary Committee. The
latest version of the bill bars yield spread premiums which
would essentially put mortgage brokers out of business as
their principal source of income, yield spread premium, is
prohibited. Banks are still exempted from the provisions,
but stay tuned.
|
|
Two bills we have been following have received final action in
the Senate and are now on the way to the Governor.
-
Sen. Judson Hill handled floor consideration of the
Uniform Electronics Transaction Act (UTEA) which
provides standardization of many
rules related to electronic transactions, including
retention of paper records such as checks, and the validity
of electronic signatures. The bill supports the validity of
electronic contracts as a viable medium of agreement
compared to traditional paper processes.
-
Also passing the Senate was
legislation handled by Sen. Bill Hamrick commonly
called the S.A.F.E. Mortgage Licensing Act. The bill,
introduced at the request of the Banking Department,
allows Georgia to participate in a nationwide network of
licensing and registering mortgage originators. Employees of
banks originating mortgages will simply have to be
registered. The legislation is a federal mandate.
-
If you’ve been following our Legislative Updates, you will
remember
legislation was pending that required renters to receive
notice of pending foreclosures, and also required deeds to
be filed on foreclosed properties. Sen. David Ralston’s
Judiciary subcommittee changed the bill removing the renter
notification and to require that deeds on foreclosed
properties be filed within 90 days.
-
Sen. Chip Pearson handled a house-passed
bill that gives home buyers a one-time tax credit of
either $3,600 or 1.2 percent of the purchase price,
whichever is less. The bill is designed to create a stimulus
for home sales and now goes to conference with the House.
-
Another
bill sponsored by Sen. Pearson requires the value of
foreclosed properties or distressed sales of bank owned
properties be factored into valuations for tax purposes. The
bill was reported out of the Ways and Means Committee.

Federal Home Loan Bank of Atlanta Requests Help on FASB Comments |
|
In response to the recent proposals published from the Financial
Accounting Standards Board (FASB), the GBA plans to issue a
comment letter by the April 1 deadline. Additionally, we will
include recommendations from the FHLB of Atlanta on the
proposals, and you are encouraged to do so as well. A draft
comment letter is attached as drafted by the FHLB of Atlanta, |
|
which you may tailor to your bank and send to the e-mail address
on the draft letter. These recommendations would provide both
clarification and enhancements to the proposals on
mark-to-market and Other Than Temporary Impairment (OTTI). With
questions, please call Elizabeth Chandler at
404.420.2027. |
|
|
Reminder:
File Comments to Overdraft Regulation Changes by March 30 |
|
Don’t
forget to file comments about the proposed changes to Regulation
E that would prohibit banks' ability to pay overdrafts for
customers for point of sale transactions and ATM withdrawals.
This issue has been in the news this week in articles by the
Wall Street Journal and
USA Today. We continue
to encourage consumers to record every transaction and keep
their account register current as the easiest ways to avoid any
overdrafts. Bank overdraft charges are designed to serve as a
|
|
deterrent
from people writing bad checks, which account for the most common
form of check fraud. A recent ABA survey indicated that 80
percent of consumers paid no overdraft fees in the past year. Of
those who did pay an overdraft fee, 85 percent said they were
glad the payment was covered.
The
Federal Reserve is taking comments on the
proposal until
March 30. Click here to
file your comments electronically. With questions, contact
Elizabeth Chandler, 404.420.2027. |

OCC: Make Loans
to Good Borrowers, Turn Down Bad Loans |
|
The
U.S. House Financial Services Committee held hearings Wednesday
that aired thoughts about the effects of various stimulus plans
and regulatory direction being given to banks. An ABA witness
testified to the mixed messages that banks and consumers are
getting about the programs.
"Overly-aggressive attempts to wring out risk from bank loan
portfolios will mean that only the very best credits will be
funded,” said Steve Wilson, Chairman and CEO of LCNB
National Bank in Lebanon, Ohio, and Chairman of ABA’s
Government Relations Council. “This is
|
|
clearly
contrary to the current public policy goals to facilitate an economic recovery.”
At another point in the hearing, the
OCC’s Tim Long, Senior Deputy Comptroller, recognized
that despite lots of challenges, banks do continue to make loans
to creditworthy borrowers. He also gave a pretty clear guidance
statement during his
testimony. “Make loans that you believe will be
repaid; don’t make loans that are unlikely to be repaid; and
work constructively with borrowers who may be facing
difficulties with their obligations, but recognize repayment
problems in loans when you see them.” |

State’s
Southeastern Banks Gather for Georgia Southern Banking Symposium |
|
Representatives
from most of the banks in GBA’s Group 1 (Southeast Georgia) took
part this week in the third-annual Georgia Southeastern Region
Community Bank Symposium. Georgia Southern University’s Center
for Excellence in Financial Services organizes and hosts the
event, which included presentations from asset-quality expert
Steve Powell, Mercer University economist Roger Tutterow, FDIC
Assistant Regional Director Tim Hubby, Porter, Keadle,
Moore's
Tim Keadle and GBA’s
David Oliver. A few nuggets from the day: Powell
highlighted the ongoing deterioration in asset quality
throughout the state and encouraged the area’s banks to focus on
long-term relationship banking – loans and
deposits. Tutterow
said he thinks we’re at the bottom of the housing correction,
with flat to
sideways movement going forward for the next few quarters
|
|
unless there's a major increase in
foreclosures. Hubby outlined some of the focus areas for
examiners, including strongly encouraging banks to have
detailed, robust contingency plans for liquidity. David
talked with the bankers about the key issues GBA is working on
to support our members during these troubling times. Ed Sibbald,
director of GSU’s Center for Excellence in Financial Services,
and his students do an excellent job to organize the event. They
also provide each bank in the region with a detailed analysis of
the region’s performance and their bank’s performance in
comparison. We appreciate Ed and the University’s work on behalf
of our Group 1 banks. |

GBA In the
News: Commenting on the Bad Asset Plan |
|
The
Treasury Department’s latest plan to deal with troubled assets
being held on banks’ balance sheets drew lots of attention this
week. Everyone is still looking over the details and trying to
determine if and how the plans will help. At first glance, there
are a few things we see as potential benefits. The plan has a component
to deal with actual loans and pools of loans, not just
securities based on loans. All banks
will be able to participate in the
Legacy Loan component. And,
|
|
perhaps
the auction
process for the loans will help avoid complete
bottom-of-the-barrel pricing that further depresses real estate
values. GBA provided comment to several media outlets about our
first take on the announcement, including the
Savannah Morning News and
Atlanta public radio station WABE. Find links to details of
the plan from the
GBA home page or
www.financialstability.gov.
The FDIC is
seeking public comment from interested parties on the
critical aspects of the LLP. Comments are requested no later
than April 10. |

Crystal-Ball,
Future-of-Banking Session an Annual Convention Highlight |
|
Why predict the
“Future of Banking” when that very future is threatened by a
raging economic crisis? Because there is no better time to map
the future than when fear abounds, as fear cuts through
complacency, sharpens focus and brings opportunity into
brilliant relief. With crisis comes choice, and for those banks
with the foresight and fortitude to choose fight over flight,
the future beckons with prospects aplenty. Join Lee
Wetherington of Goldleaf Financial Solutions in
Hahira for an unorthodox take on the trends, challenges, and
opportunities ahead in the banking industry. The 2009 Annual
Convention is June 15-16 at the Renaissance Waverly Hotel in
Atlanta. A
|
|
block
of rooms has been reserved
at the hotel at a reduced
rate of $159 a night for single or double occupancy. Call the
hotel directly to make reservations, 888.391.8724 or 770.953.4500. Be sure to say you are with the
Georgia Bankers Association to get this special rate. The
reservation cut-off date is May 22.
We mailed brochures this week so be looking for your copy. With questions about the Convention, please contact GBA’s
Susie McGehee at 404.420.2010. |

Bank
Simulation: An Integral Part of Georgia Banking School |
|
The majority of the third-year curriculum at the
Georgia Banking School is
centered on a bank simulation in which students are members of
management teams responsible operating a medium-sized
bank. This is great hands-on learning, and a highlight of the
program. Students learn by developing and implementing policies in the areas of loans,
securities investment, deposits, funding sources, and capital.
They face competition from other financial institutions
operating in the same community and are subject to a changing economic environment. The major
purpose of this
simulation is to |
|
develop an understanding of the complexities of managing banks in a
dynamic economy and of the need for an integrated,
consistent set of policies to maintain the growth,
profitability, and safety. This year’s session of the
Georgia Banking School will take place May 3-8 at
the University of Georgia’s Center for Continuing
Education in Athens. For more information, please
contact
Marybeth Jones at 404.420.2032. |
