The Office of Minority and Community Development Banking (OMCDB) is thrilled to introduce our new quarterly newsletter! In this publication, we strive to share timely and effective updates on MDI Program resources, regulatory guidance, news, and events.

While we operate as small team at 多宝游戏下载 Headquarters in Washington, D.C., our reach is expansive given the resources available through the various 多宝游戏下载 Divisions and Offices and our partners in the six regional offices. We look forward to enhancing our communication efforts through this newsletter by sharing pertinent information and highlighting MDI activity.

We welcome your feedback as well.  If you have any suggestions, please feel free to reach out to our office at MDIProgram@fdic.gov.

MDI Overview

Chart - 多宝游戏下载-insured MDIs by Minority Status as of 6/30/2024

As of June 30, 2024, the total number of MDIs decreased by one to 149. MDI asset totals for the quarter have increased by $3.66 billion (approximately 1 percent) to over $355 billion.  Total assets increased $11.2 billion (3.3 percent) from a year earlier due to increases in total loans of $13.8 billion (6.0 percent) and increases in securities of $4.4 billion (6.8 percent). Total liabilities increased $8.3 billion (2.7 percent) over the previous 12 months, including a $12.6 billion (4.3 percent) increase in deposits. Within total deposits, interest-bearing deposits increased $17.1 billion (8.3 percent), while noninterest bearing deposits decreased $5.2 billion (6.6 percent). Brokered deposits decreased $1.3 billion (8.9 percent) and listing service deposits increased $789 million (34.6 percent) from the previous year.

Second quarter 2024 MDI net income was $1.13 billion, a decrease of $35.3 million (3.0 percent) from second quarter 2023. Declining net interest income and an increase in noninterest expense drove the lower net income. Growth in noninterest income helped offset the annual net income decline. The pretax return on assets (pretax ROA) ratio of 1.64 percent was down 9 basis points from the year-ago quarter but increased from the 1.57 percent reported during first quarter 2024. This ratio is 50 basis points higher than the community bank pretax ROA ratio of 1.14 percent.

Total equity capital increased $3.0 billion (8.8 percent) from the previous year to $36.7 billion, and increased $641.2 million (1.8 percent) from first quarter 2024. Positive retained earnings was the primary contributor to the year-over-year increase in equity capital which increased $1.7 billion (8.7 percent) in the year. Unrealized losses on available-for-sale securities decreased $43.1 million in the quarter and decreased $679.7 million in the year. The majority of MDIs (87.9 percent) reported an increase in equity capital from a year earlier.

MDI Program Resources

The 多宝游戏下载 offers a variety of resources to MDIs in an effort to provide for continual engagement through ongoing interaction with the Washington, Regional, and Field Office staff. Below is a recap of activities that occurred during the quarter.

Technical Assistance

At any time, you may request technical assistance on areas of interest to your institution, such as bank regulations, 多宝游戏下载 policies, examination procedures, applications processes, and more. Technical assistance requests can be submitted to your Regional MDI Coordinator, Case Manager, Review Examiner, or any member of field office staff. An 多宝游戏下载 representative will provide the technical assistance within 90-120 days (often sooner) of the request. Below are examples of technical assistance provided to MDIs during the quarter:

  • Regional and field office staff provided guidance on Third Party Risk Management programs and processes addressing issues related to Special Categories for Third Parties; onsite visits; business arrangements; financial assessment; background checks; Fourth Parties; Artificial Intelligence; Second Line Review Challenge; and the Bank Service Company Act.
  • Regional office staff provided a review of an institution鈥檚 expanded CRA assessment area.
  • Examiners conducted a review of an MDI鈥檚 CECL methodology and policy and provided feedback on the model and offered further assistance and guidance to help ensure the effective management in the future.
  • Regional office staff provided technical assistance related to the 多宝游戏下载 official sign guidance.
  • Examiners conducted a review of a newly expanded AML/CFT Risk Assessment and provided feedback on the content and potential areas of enhancement.

Please contact your regional office if you would like to request technical assistance or schedule a meeting with regional management to discuss any areas of interest for your institution.

Outreach

The 多宝游戏下载 welcomes opportunities to build relationships, promote open communication and provide information and resources. Below are a few external outreach activities in which representatives of the MDI Program were able to participate:

  • The Atlanta region hosted its annual MDI Program roundtable on August 14th at the Atlanta regional office. The roundtable provided opportunities for bankers to network with each other and meet with regional management. The agenda included updates on the MDI Program, regional economic performance, AML/CFT hot topics, capital market news, and 多宝游戏下载 Community Affairs activities.
  • Director of the OMCDB Betty Rudolph met with numerous MDI bankers and organizers, trade associations, and other entities to discuss banker concerns, the MDI designation request process, and opportunities to promote the work of MDIs.

Building Successful Partnerships

The 多宝游戏下载 has long recognized the important role partnerships play in helping the MDI and CDFI sectors achieve scale and capacity. These partnerships take form in many ways such as forging relationships with larger financial institutions, philanthropic organizations, private-sector companies, and state and local governments to ultimately help better serve communities in need. Sharing successful stories of partnerships can be a catalyst to spur additional partnerships that help facilitate the continued growth of the industry. OMCDB would like to learn more about the successful partnerships you鈥檝e established and we invite you to share with us examples of any partnerships that have helped you achieve your mission. In addition, we would like to learn more about any community projects that you鈥檝e been involved in that have been especially beneficial to the communities you serve.

If you would like to share this information with us, please email a brief description of the partnership or project to MDIProgram@fdic.gov. We look forward to hearing from you.
