Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation June 7, 2018 – Federal Register Recent Federal Regulation Documents

The OCC and the FDIC (``Agencies'') are adopting a final rule to shorten the standard settlement cycle for securities purchased or sold by national banks, federal savings associations, and FDIC- supervised institutions. The Agencies' final rule is consistent with an industry-wide transition to a two business-day settlement cycle, which is designed to reduce settlement exposure and align settlement practices across all market participants.
