FDIC approves applications for 2 industrial loan companies
The FDIC this week approved two deposit insurance applications for two new industrial loan companies (ILCs): Square, Inc. and Nelnet, Inc. NAFCU has argued against the continued chartering of ILCs due to lack of Federal Reserve oversight.
NAFCU's concerns are that an entity that controls an ILC that is not a bank holding company under the Bank Holding Company Act (BHCA) does not need to register as a bank holding company with the Federal Reserve and avoids regulation as such. In most situations, an ILC will not be a BHCA bank if, among other things, the institution does not accept demand deposits.
Neither Square nor Nelnet are BHCA banks.
NAFCU's fintech white paper contains a section on ILCs, which outlines the association's concerns and opposition to new ILC charters, which frustrate a core principle of prudential regulation: that a bank’s parent company should serve as a transparent source of strength rather than an opaque source of risk.
NAFCU continues to advocate for a level playing field between tech companies entering the financial services market and traditional financial institutions.

[02:27] Having a leader who can really communicate cyber risks and understand how ready that institution is to deal with cyber events is incredibly important. [05:36] We need to be talking about risk openly. We need to be documenting and really understanding what remediating risk looks like and how you do that strategically. [16:38] Governance, risk, compliance, and adherence to regulatory controls are all being looked at much more closely. You are also seeing other technology that is coming into the fold directly responsible for helping CISOs navigate those waters. [18:28] The reaction from the governing bodies is directly related to the needs of the position. They’re trying to help make sure that we are positioned in a way that gets us the most possibility of success, maturing our postures and protecting the institutions.
