Agencies Release Annual Asset-Size Thresholds Under Community Reinvestment Act Regulations

For release at 11:00 a.m. EST

The Federal Reserve Board and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation today announced the 2023 updated asset-size thresholds used to define 鈥渟mall bank鈥 and 鈥渋ntermediate small bank鈥 under their Community Reinvestment Act (CRA) regulations.

Annual adjustments to these asset-size thresholds are based on the average change in the Consumer Price Index for Urban Wage Earners and Clerical Workers (CPI鈥揥), which is a measure of inflation.

As a result of the 8.60 percent increase in the CPI鈥揥 for the period ending in November 2022, the definitions of small and intermediate small banks for CRA examinations will change as follows:

  • Small bank means an institution that, as of December 31 of either of the prior two calendar years, had assets of less than $1.503 billion.
  • Intermediate small bank means a small institution with assets of at least $376 million as of December 31 of both of the prior two calendar years and less than $1.503 billion as of December 31 of either of the prior two calendar years.

The CRA regulations establish the framework and criteria by which the relevant agencies assess a financial institution鈥檚 record of helping to meet the credit needs of its community, including low鈥 and moderate鈥搃ncome neighborhoods, consistent with safe and sound operations.  Financial institutions are evaluated under different CRA examination procedures based upon their asset鈥搒ize classification.  For example, banks meeting the small and intermediate small bank asset鈥搒ize thresholds are not subject to the reporting requirements applicable to large banks unless they choose to be evaluated as a large bank.

These asset鈥搒ize thresholds are effective January 1, 2023.  A list of the current and historical asset鈥搒ize thresholds is available .
