Financial Institution Letter

The FDIC Launches Web Page to Support Marketing of Failing
Financial Institutions
Summary: The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) recently launched a Failing Bank
Acquisitions Web page on FDIC.gov. This Web page will allow institutions to better understand how the
FDIC markets failing financial institutions.

Statement of Applicability to Institutions With Less Than $1 Billion in Total Assets: This Financial
Institution Letter applies to FDIC-insured financial institutions of any size that may be interested in
acquiring a failing institution from the FDIC.

Distribution:
FDIC-Insured Institutions

Highlights:

•
To support the FDIC’s continued mission of maintaining
financial system stability and public confidence while
transparently resolving failing financial institutions in an
orderly manner, the FDIC launched a Web page that
explains how failing financial institutions are marketed.

•
The primary goal of the Web page is to educate
bankers about key components associated with the
process of acquiring a failing financial institution,
including regulatory qualification guidance, performing
due diligence, and general transaction terms.
•
The Web page will allow FDIC-insured institutions
interested in receiving information about acquisition
opportunities to designate a point of contact (POC) or
update a current POC. Institutions should set their e-
mail spam filters so that they will receive messages
from InstitutionSales@fdic.gov.
•
The Web page also provides an opportunity for FDIC-
insured institutions to update their bidder profile by
communicating state and/or asset size preferences.
•
The Failing Bank Acquisitions Web page may be
accessed from the FDIC's Web site at
https://www.fdic.gov/buying/FranchiseMarketing/index.
