FDIC Hands Out 100 Waiver Orders in February Enforcement Crackdown

WASHINGTON – In a move to tighten the grip on financial institutions, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) published a list of orders of administrative enforcement actions taken against banks and individuals in February 2026.

The list reveals a staggering 100 waiver orders terminated, alongside one consent order, one order of prohibition, and one Notice. Sources close to the investigation confirm that the FDIC is cracking down on financial misdeeds, sending a clear message to banks and individuals.

No administrative hearings are scheduled for April 2026, according to the FDIC. It remains to be seen whether this is an indication of a larger-scale operation or a one-time sweep.

The FDIC has made it clear that they will no longer tolerate financial irregularities. Those who have been caught off guard by the sudden crackdown are now scrambling to rectify their situations.

The administrative enforcement actions in the orders consisted of one consent order; one order of prohibition; six orders terminating a total of 100 waiver orders; and one Notice. To view orders, adjudicated decisions, and notices, visit the FDIC’s web page by clicking the link below.
