Managing Correspondent Concentrations Performing Appropriate Due Diligence jlentini on DSKJ8SOYB1PROD with NOTICES Pursuant to Regulation F, institutions should establish prudent correspondent concentration limits, as well as ranges or tolerances for each factor being monitored. Institutions should develop plans for managing risk when these limits, ranges or tolerances are met or exceeded, either on an individual or collective basis. Consistent with the requirements of Regulation F, contingency plans should provide a variety of actions that can be considered relative to changes in the correspondent’s financial condition.5 Contingency plans should not rely on temporary deposit insurance programs for mitigating concentration risk. Prudent risk management of correspondent concentrations should include procedures for reducing exposures that meet or exceed established limits, ranges, or tolerances in an orderly manner over reasonable timeframes. Such actions could include, but are not limited to: • Reducing the volume of uncollateralized/uninsured funds. • Transferring excess funds to other financial institutions rather than the correspondent after conducting appropriate reviews of their financial condition. • Requiring the correspondent to serve as agent rather than as principal for Federal funds sold. • Establishing limits on asset and liability purchases from and investments in correspondents. 5 Regulation F requires institutions’ policies and procedures to limit exposure to the correspondent, either by the establishment of internal limits or by other means, when the correspondent’s financial condition and the form or maturity of the bank’s exposure create a significant risk that payment will not be made in full or in a timely manner. Regulation F also requires institutions to reduce credit exposure to below 25 percent of total capital within 120 days after the date when the current Report of Condition or other relevant report normally would be available if the correspondent is no longer at least Adequately Capitalized.

For this purpose, credit or funding exposures may include, but are not limited to, due from bank accounts, Federal funds sold as principal, direct or indirect loans (including participations and syndications), and trust preferred securities, subordinated debt, and stock purchases of the correspondent, its holding company, or any affiliated entity. An institution that maintains or contemplates entering into any credit or funding transactions with another financial institution should have written investment, lending, and funding polices and procedures, including appropriate limits, that govern these activities. In addition, these procedures should ensure the institution conducts an independent analysis of credit transactions prior to committing to engage in the transactions. The terms for all such credit and funding transactions should strictly be on an arm’s length basis, conform to sound investment, lending, and funding practices, and avoid potential conflicts of interest.
