Proposals
The FDIC Board of Directors has withdrawn four outstanding proposed rules related to brokered deposits, corporate governance, the Change in Bank Control Act (CBCA), and incentive-based compensation arrangements. These proposals were intended to significantly impact various aspects of credit union operations but will not be pursued at this time.
PRESS RELEASE | MARCH 3, 2025 FDIC Board of Directors Withdraws Four Outstanding Proposed Rules WASHINGTON – The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation’s (FDIC) Board of Directors today approved the withdrawal of three outstanding proposed rules relating to brokered deposits, corporate governance, and the Change in Bank Control Act (CBCA). The FDIC is also withdrawing authority for staff to publish in the Federal Register a proposed rule related to incentive-based compensation arrangements. The brokered deposits proposal was published in the Federal Register on August 23, 2024 and would have significantly disrupted many aspects of the deposit landscape. The corporate governance proposal was published in the Federal Register on October 11, 2023 and would have created a number of overly prescriptive and process-oriented expectations for management and boards of directors of FDIC-supervised institutions with $10 billion or more in total consolidated assets. The proposal related to the CBCA was published in the Federal Register on August 19, 2024 and would have removed an exemption from the requirement to submit a notice to the FDIC for an acquisition of voting securities of a depository institution holding company for which the Federal Reserve reviews a CBCA notice. The proposal related to incentive-based compensation arrangements was approved by the FDIC Board on May 3, 2024, but was never published in the Federal Register . If the FDIC pursues regulatory action on these matters in the future, it will do so by publishing new proposals or other issuances consistent with the Administrative Procedure Act.

Rules

• Compliance date for certain provisions in the FDIC’s Sign and Advertising Rule has been delayed until March 1, 2026.
• The delay applies specifically to requirements related to digital channels and ATMs.
PRESS RELEASE | MARCH 3, 2025 FDIC Board of Directors Approves Delay of Compliance Date For Certain Provisions in Sign and Advertising Rule WASHINGTON – The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) Board of Directors today delayed the compliance date of certain provisions under the FDIC’s Sign and Advertising Rule. Specifically, the delay applies to requirements related to the display of the FDIC’s official sign on insured depository institutions’ (IDIs) digital channels, as well as to provisions related to IDIs’ automated teller machines (ATMs) and like devices. On December 20, 2023, the FDIC adopted a final rule that amended the FDIC’s signage and advertisement requirements for IDIs. Full compliance with these amendments was scheduled to take effect on May 1, 2025. Today’s Board action postpones the compliance date for sections 328.4 and 328.5 of the rule to March 1, 2026. The FDIC plans to use the additional time to propose adjustments to the regulation. Consistent with Section 18 of the FDI Act, the FDIC will continue to promote proper disclosure of FDIC insurance. However, the new requirements to display the FDIC official digital sign continue to generate questions regarding implementation, and may result in consumer confusion. The remaining provisions in the rule will still take effect on May 1, 2025. ATTACHMENTS: Federal Register Notice Financial Institution Letter ### MEDIA CONTACT:

Proposals
• The FDIC Board of Directors approved a proposal to rescind the 2024 Bank Merger Policy Statement, reinstating the previous policy on an interim basis.
• This move aims to address concerns about added uncertainty in the merger application process and return to the historical approach understood by market participants.
PRESS RELEASE | MARCH 3, 2025 FDIC Board of Directors Approves Proposal to Rescind 2024 Bank Merger Policy Statement WASHINGTON – The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) Board of Directors today approved a proposal to rescind the agency’s 2024 Statement of Policy on Bank Merger Transactions . The FDIC’s proposal will reinstate, on an interim basis, the Merger Policy Statement that was in effect prior to 2024 as the agency conducts a broader reevaluation of its bank merger review process. The proposal approved today seeks to address concerns the 2024 Statement added considerable uncertainty to the merger application process. While the FDIC considers broader revisions to its merger policy, the FDIC is proposing to return to its historical approach, which is well-understood by market participants. Interested parties may submit written comments on this proposal up until 30 days after publication in the Federal Register .

Guidance
The FDIC Board approved a resolution requiring recurring briefings on any merger or deposit insurance application outstanding for more than nine months. The first set of required briefings was held during the closed session of the October 2024 Board meeting.
STATEMENT | OCTOBER 17, 2024 Statement by Vice Chairman Travis Hill on Board Merger and Deposit Insurance Application Review Process On June 20, 2024, the FDIC Board approved a resolution I proposed to require recurring briefings to the full Board on any merger or deposit insurance application (“covered application”) outstanding for more than nine months. This requirement became effective this month, with the first set of required briefings held during the closed session of our Board meeting today. Leading up to the June Board meeting, there were 11 covered applications pending that had been outstanding for more than nine months, with a dozen more poised to cross the 9-month threshold between the June and October Board meetings if not resolved sooner. Over the last 2½ years, the number of covered applications outstanding for more than nine months at any given time has consistently hovered around 10, and several of these applications have lingered significantly longer than nine months.
