The new subsection defines a large financial institution as one regulated by the Comptroller of the Currency, the Federal Reserve Board, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, or the National Credit Union Administration with total consolidated assets of at least $50,000,000,000. A small financial institution is one of the same regulated bodies with assets of no more than $2,000,000,000, a minority depository institution, or a rural depository institution, which is a depository institution with assets under $10,000,000,000 in a rural area. A financial agent is a national banking association the Secretary designates to serve as a financial agent of the government.

That sentence, in plain words

A large bank is one that four federal bodies watch over. It must hold at least fifty billion dollars.

What this is about

A small one is defined by the same four regulators. It holds two billion dollars or less. Minority and rural banks also count as small.

How to Read This Page

The quotation is the document's own words, exactly as printed, and we check the page number against the Act itself before publishing. The paragraph underneath is our summary, not the document's words. So is the plain English version, which is why it sits beside the quotation rather than replacing it.
