Guidance Related to the FDIC Statement of Policy on Applications for Deposit Insurance

This Financial Institution Letter (FIL) provides guidance related to the FDIC Statement of Policy of Applications for Deposit Insurance (SOP). Part 303 (Subpart B) of the FDIC Rules and Regulations (12 U.S.C. § 1815) sets forth the administrative procedures for applying for deposit insurance.

The SOP was effective October 1, 1998, and provides additional guidance to proposed depository institutions applying for federal deposit insurance.

In order to aid applicants in developing proposals for deposit insurance, and to provide transparency to the application process, the FDIC has developed an initial set of questions and answers (Q&As) regarding the SOP. The Q&As (attached to this FIL) address pre-filing meetings, processing timelines, initial capitalization, and initial business plans of de novo institutions.

As circumstances warrant, the FDIC will consider additional Q&As to aid applicants in the development and submission of applications for deposit insurance and the application process. It is the FDIC’s intent that the Q&As will be a valuable resource for applicants and other interested parties.

Questions regarding the SOP or the Q&As may be directed to Associate Director Lisa D. Arquette at larquette@fdic.gov or Donald R. Hamm at dhamm@fdic.gov.
