The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) is actively soliciting public feedback on its approach to industrial loan companies (ILCs). This initiative aims to gather diverse perspectives and inform the agency’s policy progress concerning ILC applications.
The FDIC Board is considering a Request for Information (RFI) that will allow stakeholders to provide input. This RFI is specifically designed to gather information relevant to evaluating the statutory factors involved in reviewing ILC applications.
Background on ILCs and FDIC’s Role
Industrial loan companies, also known as ILCs, have been a subject of discussion and scrutiny for decades. the FDIC’s role involves evaluating applications from these entities, a process that requires careful consideration of various statutory factors.
The sustained interest in the ILC charter from a variety of institutions suggests the need for a broad RFI. This process is intended to provide clarity and a structured framework for future ILC filings.
FDIC’s Objective for ILC Policy
The FDIC’s ultimate goal is to issue a policy statement or similar guidance. This issuance will clarify how the agency interprets the applicable statutory factors when reviewing ILC applications.
Simultaneously, the FDIC will continue its work on processing pending ILC applications that have already been submitted to the agency.
