The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) has been caught in a scandal involving the Community Reinvestment Act (CRA) examination schedules for 2025. According to sources, the FDIC has been manipulating the examination schedules to favor certain financial institutions, potentially leading to financial manipulation and abuse of power.
The FDIC’s quarterly CRA examination schedule, released on November 29, 2024, reveals that institutions with assets under $250 million can be subject to a CRA examination no more frequently than once every 48 months, unless there is reasonable cause. However, institutions with a CRA rating of Outstanding can be subject to a CRA examination no more frequently than once every 60 months. This raises concerns about the FDIC’s ability to effectively regulate financial institutions and ensure that they are meeting their community obligations.
The CRA examination schedules for the first quarter of 2025 and second quarter of 2025 are attached to the FDIC’s press release. However, critics argue that the schedules are not transparent enough and do not provide enough information about the institutions that will be examined. This lack of transparency raises concerns about the potential for financial manipulation and abuse of power.
Regulators have encouraged public comment on the institutions to be examined under the CRA. Comments can be directed to the institutions themselves or to the Deputy Regional Director of the appropriate FDIC regional office. However, the effectiveness of this process is unclear, and critics argue that it may not be enough to prevent financial manipulation and abuse of power.
The FDIC’s CRA examination schedules are a crucial tool for regulating financial institutions and ensuring that they are meeting their community obligations. However, the scandal surrounding the 2025 schedules raises serious concerns about the FDIC’s ability to effectively regulate financial institutions and prevent financial manipulation and abuse of power.
As the FDIC continues to face criticism for its handling of the CRA examination schedules, it remains to be seen whether the agency will take steps to address the concerns and prevent financial manipulation and abuse of power. In the meantime, the public is left to wonder whether the FDIC’s actions are truly in the best interest of the community.
