What changed

The Federal Reserve issued a notice (91 FR 16944, Document No. 2026-06545) published on April 3, 2026, addressing the procedures and requirements for filing change in bank control notices and share acquisitions involving banks or bank holding companies. The notice serves to inform prospective acquirers and investors of the regulatory filing process for transactions that may result in a change of control at federally supervised banking institutions.

Entities considering acquisitions of shares that could result in a change of control of a bank or bank holding company should ensure compliance with the Federal Reserve's filing requirements. Prospective acquirers should submit the appropriate notices and obtain regulatory approval or non-objection before completing transactions that trigger control thresholds. Failure to properly file may result in regulatory enforcement action.

What to do next

Review Federal Reserve filing requirements for change in bank control notices before completing acquisitions
Submit required notices to the appropriate Federal Reserve district bank for transactions affecting control of banking organizations
Ensure compliance with the Bank Holding Company Act and related regulations when acquiring voting shares of banks or bank holding companies
