What changed

The FDIC Board of Directors will convene on March 19, 2026, to discuss and potentially vote on several significant regulatory matters. Key among these are two Notices of Proposed Rulemaking concerning the Regulatory Capital Rule, affecting Category I and II banking organizations, those with significant trading activity, and others. Additionally, the Board will consider a Final Rule to clarify deposit insurance coverage for U.S. bank branches in the Federated States of Micronesia, the Marshall Islands, and Palau, and the rescission of the Statement of Policy on Qualifications for Failed Bank Acquisitions.

Compliance officers at affected banking organizations should closely monitor the proposed rulemakings on capital requirements, as these are likely to introduce new obligations or modify existing ones. The final rule on deposit insurance coverage for specific offshore branches may require updates to internal documentation or customer communications for institutions with such operations. While the meeting agenda indicates these are proposed rules, the FDIC's Board will be considering them, signaling a move towards finalization. Further details on comment periods and compliance deadlines will be issued with the proposed rules.

What to do next

Monitor for proposed rulemakings on Regulatory Capital Rule
Review final rule on deposit insurance coverage for specific branches
Review rescission of Statement of Policy on Failed Bank Acquisitions
