Industrial Loan Companies and Industrial Banks

Résumé

The FDIC is seeking comment on specific issues related to industrial loan companies and industrial banks (collectively, ILCs), including issues regarding the current legal and business framework of ILCs and the possible benefits, detrimental effects, risks, and supervisory issues associated with the ILC industry. The FDIC believes that public input will assist the FDIC in identifying any potential risks to the Deposit Insurance Fund, any emerging safety and soundness issues, or other policy issues raised by ILCs and, further, will assist the FDIC in determining whether statutory, regulatory, or policy changes should be made in the FDIC's supervision of ILCs in order to protect the Deposit Insurance Fund or other important Congressional objectives.
