One of the AMB’s Guiding Principles is to encourage the Agencies to facilitate collaboration in fields such as compliance in order to reduce costs The federal depository institutions regulators and the U.S. Department of the Treasury’s Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN) today issued a joint statement to address instances concerning collaborative arrangements among banks  to share resources to manage their Bank Secrecy Act (BSA) and anti-money laundering (AML) obligations. We are encouraged that are efforts to encourage more agency support for collaboration among banks to share compliance costs are bearing fruit. However, the statement contains numerous caveats which we believe require further consideration. we will continue to press for more relief in this area.

March 27, 2018 - Mutual Alert - Financial Services Committee Cites Forbes Article to Those Pressing for House Rubber Stamp of Senate Regulatory Relief Bill


Signaling that the Congress consists of two coequal bodies with a reference to a Forbes magazine article that cites the classic children’s educational cartoon on how a bill becomes law, Chairman Hensarling has made it clear he expects the deference due accorded to the coequal body of the legislative branch. The committee under the tag “In case you missed it” issued a press release attaching the Forbes magazine article on the likelihood of the House insisting on changes to the Senate Bill.  It is becoming clear that the House may not rollover to the Senate Bill without some concessions. The other trade groups have also moderated their call for quick House action.

February 27, 2018 - Mutual Alert - House Passes Risk Based Approach Requirement for Capital Requirements


Today the House passed H.R. 4296, co-sponsored by Chairman Blaine Luetkemeyer (R. Mo.) and Congressman Gregory Meeks (D. N.Y.), in a vote of 245 to 169. The AMB supported  Bill would relieve mutual banks from one size fits all capital requirements and adopt a tailored approach that is tied to risk. Chairman Hensarling praised the passage and noted the billions in dollars that are held unnecessarily as capital which could be infused into the economy.  If this Bill becomes law, mutual banks will have an even more compelling need to impress upon the regulators the relatively low risk profile of the mutual form. A copy of the Committee Press Release is attached.

Please see the attached press release announcing passage of Congresswoman Mia Love’s small bank bill. You may recall the Senate already passed a similar version.  We have worked hard to achieve this legislation and now await a  Joint House/ Senate Conference Committee to resolve any differences in a community bank bill and pass a bill for the Presidents signature. This would open a host of capital raising opportunities for mutual and other closely held nonpublic banks.
