Banks should maintain adequate oversight of deposit advance programs and adequate quality control over those products and services to minimize exposure to potential significant financial loss, reputation damage, and supervisory action. Management should provide the appropriate oversight and allocate sufficient qualified staff to monitor deposit advance programs. Results of oversight activities should be reported periodically to the financial institution’s board of directors or designated committee, including identified weaknesses, which should be documented and promptly addressed. Third-Party Relationships: Because third-party relationships are important in assessing a bank’s overall risk profile, the FDIC’s primary supervisory concern in reviewing a bank’s relationships with third parties is whether the bank is assuming more risk than it can identify, monitor, and manage. Management should allocate sufficient qualified staff to monitor for significant third-party relationships, excessive usage by borrowers, and excessive risk taking by the bank. Therefore, examiners will review the risks associated with all material third-party relationships and activities together with other bank risks. In certain high risk situations, examiners may conduct on-site thirdparty reviews under specific authorities granted to the FDIC. Responsible Products To Meet SmallDollar Credit Needs The FDIC recognizes the need for responsible small-dollar credit products among consumers. A number of banks are currently offering reasonably priced small-dollar loans at reasonable terms to their customers. The FDIC’s 2007 Affordable Small-Dollar Loan Guidelines (Guidelines) encourage insured institutions to offer small-dollar loan products that have affordable, reasonable interest rates with no or low fees and payments that reduce the principal balance of the loan.23 The Guidelines indicate that if structured properly, small-dollar loans can provide a safe and affordable means for borrowers to transition away from reliance on high-cost debt products. The FDIC conducted a two-year case study from 2007 to 2009 that demonstrated that safe and affordable small-dollar 23 See FDIC Financial Institutions Letter FIL–50– 2007, ‘‘Affordable Small-Dollar Loan Guidelines,’’ (June 19, 2007).

Properly managed small-dollar loan products offered with reasonable terms and at a reasonable cost do not pose the same level of supervisory risk as deposit advance products.
