IBANYS' 39th Annual Convention: Record Crowd, Timely Program;  New IBANYS Officers Elected

 

IBANYS' 39th Annual Convention (September 9-11 at Turning Stone Resort) was an enormous success. The number of bankers, associate members, exhibitors and preferred providers were all up from the previous year - the second straight year our numbers increased across the board! This year's crowd was IBANYS' largest in more than a decade. From the educational programs, to the peer networking, to the industry activities, it was a remarkable event. Read more.

FDIC Releases State Banking Profiles
 
The FDIC has released its state banking profiles for the second quarter. The
FDIC State Profiles are formatted as a quarterly data sheet summarizing economic and banking conditions for all 50 states, Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands.

 

The National Credit Union Administration released a legal opinion granting credit unions increased member-business-lending authority related to business vehicles. Read more.

 

The industry wants the SEC to clarify that thrift and bank holding companies benefit from new laws easing reporting requirements on smaller institutions. The JOBS Act raised the SEC registration threshold from 500 to 2,000 shareholders, and the deregistration threshold from 300 to 1,200, but thrift holding companies were left out of the legislation due to a drafting oversight. Read ICBA's statement to Congress on the issue.

 

Banking Industry Advocates Temporary TAG Extension

A coalition of banking organizations called on Congress to temporarily extend full FDIC coverage of noninterest-bearing transaction accounts.  IBANYS urges all New York community bankers to contact their local Representatives to urge their support of an extension.  Call Congress Today.Write Congress Now.
