Community Lender Exam Act

Introduced November 9, 2017

AI-Generated Summary

Updated April 15, 2026 at 6:59 PM UTC

The Community Lender Exam Act amends the Federal Deposit Insurance Act to raise the asset size threshold that triggers mandatory on‑site examinations of insured depository institutions. The threshold is increased from $1 billion to $3 billion, so larger community lenders will no longer automatically receive on‑site exams. This change affects the FDIC’s examination policy and the institutions that fall under the new limit.

Key Provisions

  • Increase the asset threshold for on‑site examinations of certain insured depository institutions from $1 billion to $3 billion.
