Statement of Policy on Bank Merger Transactions: Rescission and Reinstatement

The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) Board of Directors has rescinded its 2024 Statement of Policy on Bank Merger Transactions and reinstated the prior policy effective thirty days after Federal Register publication. The reinstated framework will govern all FDIC-insured financial institutions while the agency conducts a comprehensive reevaluation of its merger review process. The FDIC will incorporate feedback from the March 2025 public comment period and anticipate seeking further input as it finalizes its updated regulatory approach.
