INTRODUCTION




INTRODUCTION

The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation was created by the
Banking Act of 1933. Its Board of Directors was organized on Sep­
tember 11 of that year, and the insurance of bank deposits under the
temporary plan became effective January 1, 1934. A brief report
dealing with the organization of the Corporation was submitted in
March 1934, and the first regular annual report, covering the activities
of the Corporation to the end of 1934, was submitted in August 1935.
The present report describes the termination of the temporary plan and
the inauguration of the permanent plan of Federal deposit insurance,
the activities of the Corporation during 1935, and banking developments
affecting deposit insurance during that year.
Part One is devoted to a discussion of the operations of the Corporation,
including the transition from the temporary to the permanent plan of
deposit insurance, the Corporation’s revenue and expenses, suspensions of
insured banks and deposits paid by the Corporation, admissions to and
terminations of insurance, bank examinations, and regulations issued by
the Corporation. Part Two covers developments in banking during 1935,
primarily among insured banks not members of the Federal Reserve
System. Part Three summarizes the changes in the number of insured
banks during the period of operation of the temporary plan of insurance.
Part Four gives in full the text of the amended deposit insurance law, the
text of regulations issued by the Corporation, and the forms used and the
instructions for the reporting of deposits by insured banks. Part Five
consists of statistical tables relating to banking and deposit insurance.







PART ONE
OPERATIONS OF THE CORPORATION DURING
THE YEAR ENDING DECEMBER 31, 1935







INAUGURATION OF PERMANENT PLAN OF INSURANCE OF
BANK DEPOSITS

On August 23, 1935, the Banking Act of 1935 became effective,
terminating the temporary Federal deposit insurance plan and inau­
gurating the permanent plan. The Act revised the entire deposit
insurance law and made substantial changes in the character of the
permanent plan of deposit insurance originally enacted June 16, 1933.
Duration o f tem porary plan. The temporary plan for Federal
insurance of deposits, originally intended to be effective only during
the six months from January 1 to July 1, 1934, was in operation nearly
20 months. Its life was twice extended by Congress: first, until July 1,
1935, and then for an additional two months. The second extension
was approved June 28, 1935, while the Banking Act of 1935 was under
consideration, and was designed merely to continue the temporary plan
until that Act could be approved.1
Admissions to insurance under the perm anent plan. Under
the original law all banks members of the Federal Reserve System were
required to participate in the permanent insurance plan, and banks not
members of the Federal Reserve System which were insured under the
temporary plan were permitted to participate until July 1, 1936. In
the revised law provision was made for the automatic admission to
insurance under the permanent plan of all banks, with minor exceptions,
which had been insured under the temporary plan. Provision was made
that State banks not members of the Federal Reserve System might
withdraw within 30 days after the effective date of the Act. Thirtyfour banks withdrew under this provision,2and one bank not a member
of the Federal Reserve System which had been considered to be insured
under the temporary plan did not become insured under the permanent
plan because of failure to make the required statement of deposits and
to pay assessments. The number of banks which had been insured
under the temporary plan and which were automatically admitted to
insurance under the permanent plan was 14,219. Of these, 14,163
were commercial banks insured in the Temporary Federal Deposit
Insurance Fund and 56 were mutual savings banks insured in the Fund
for Mutuals.
Insurance coverage. Under the original law it was contemplated
that the deposits in banks participating in the permanent insurance
plan would be protected up to the following percentages of the net
amount due each depositor in a closed bank:
100 percent of the net amount not exceeding $10,000;
75 percent of the net amount exceeding $10,000 but not exceeding $50,000;
50 percent of the net amount exceeding $50,000.

The revised permanent plan, like the temporary plan after July 1, 1934,
limits protection to a maximum of $5,000 for each depositor.

2One o f these banks had previou sly repaid all o f its deposit liabilities through v o lu n ta ry liqu idation.

Assessment rate. The revised permanent plan of insurance differs
both from the temporary plan and from the original permanent plan in
the basis and amount of assessment. Banks insured under the revised
permanent plan are assessed each year one-twelfth of 1 percent of their
total deposit liabilities. Special provision was made for an initial pay­
ment covering the assessment obligation from the inauguration of the
permanent plan to the end of 1935. Under the original permanent plan
participating banks were to subscribe for stock in the Corporation equal
in amount to one-half of 1 percent of their total deposits, and were
subject to assessments of one-fourth of 1 percent of their deposits when­
ever the net debit balance of the deposit insurance account of the
Corporation should equal or exceed one-fourth of 1 percent of deposits
of all insured banks.
Assessment credits. The revised law provided that any balance
to which an insured bank was entitled upon termination of the temporary
Federal deposit insurance funds should be credited toward the assess­
ments to be levied under the permanent plan of insurance. Such
balances consisted of the unused portion of assessments collected under
the temporary plan. The income of the temporary funds was sufficient to
pay all operating expenses and deposit insurance losses and expenses, and
insured banks received a credit for the full amount of the assessments
which they had paid.
Supervision of insured banks. The revised permanent plan also
requires insured banks not members of the Federal Reserve System to
obtain the approval of the Corporation before opening new branches
or reducing their capital, and requires all insured banks to obtain such
approval before merging or consolidating with noninsured institutions.
The Corporation may require any insured bank to provide protection and
indemnity against burglary, defalcation, and other similar insurable losses.
If an insured bank is found by the Corporation to have continued unsafe
or unsound practices, such practices are to be reported to the appropriate
supervisory authorities, and if they are not corrected the insured status of
the bank may be terminated.

ORGANIZATION AND STAFF

Directors. On April 29, 1935, Mr. Phillips Lee Goldsborough took
office as a director of the Corporation, succeeding Mr. E. G. Bennett,
whose resignation became effective on that date. Mr. Leo T. Crowley
continued to serve as a director and as Chairman of the Board of Directors,
and Mr. J. F. T. O’Connor, Comptroller of the Currency, likewise con­
tinued as a member of the Board of Directors.
Changes in divisions and offices. Few changes were made in the
internal organization of the Corporation during 1935. On January 15,



9

ORGANIZATION AND STAFF

1935, the number of district offices of the Corporation was reduced from
15 to 12. This change permitted a substantial reduction in overhead
expenses.
Personnel. Personnel at the close of 1935 consisted of 738 officers
and employees, of whom 237 were located in the main office at Wash­
ington and 501 in the field and at the regional offices. A net reduction
of 110 employees occurred during the year. The employees located in

Capital stock. There were no changes in the ownership of the
outstanding capital stock of the Corporation during 1935. In accordance
with provisions of the law, the Secretary of the Treasury on behalf of the
United States had subscribed and paid $150,000,000 in November 1933,
and the Federal Reserve banks had subscribed $139,299,556.99 which was
paid in equal installments in January and April 1934.
The original deposit insurance law required banks becoming insured
under the permanent plan to subscribe to capital stock of the Corporation.
This requirement was eliminated from the law by the Banking Act of
1935 and all of the capital stock was made nonvoting, nondividend
paying, and of no par value.
Assessments for the temporary Federal deposit insurance funds*
Under the provisions of the original deposit insurance law and the amend­
ments enacted in June 1934, banks insured by the temporary Federal



10

FEDERAL DEPOSIT INSURANCE CORPORATION

deposit insurance funds were assessed an amount equal to one-half of 1
percent of the deposits eligible for insurance. Assessments were levied
on the basis of certified statements submitted as of December 15, 1933,
or, for banks admitted subsequent to January 31, 1934, as of the fifteenth
of the month preceding the date of approval for admission. New banks
were assessed an amount equal to 5 percent of paid-in capital and surplus,
one-half of which was called for. These assessments were adjusted to a
basis of insured deposits shown by statements filed as of October 1,
1934.
The Act of June 16, 1934, extending the term of the temporary funds,
increased the insurance coverage from $2,500 to $5,000 for each depositor.1
An adjustment in the amount of assessment was made on the basis of
certified statements submitted as of October 1, 1934. Banks admitted
to insurance subsequent to October 1, 1934, paid assessments on the basis
of statements submitted at the time of admission.
One-half of the assessments was paid; the other half was made payable
on call by the Board of Directors of the Corporation. It was not nec­
essary to call for the second half of the assessments.
Cost o f operation o f temporary Federal deposit insurance funds.
The charges against the temporary funds include payments to depositors
of suspended banks, less the estimated recoveries by the Corporation on
its subrogation claims, plus the expenses associated with the making of
these payments. The total charges upon the temporary Federal deposit
insurance funds on account of suspensions of banks during the period of
operation of the temporary plan amounted to $1,670,285.42.
Refunds to banks withdrawing from the temporary funds.
Banks which withdrew from insurance during the period of the temporary
insurance plan or at its close, or went into voluntary liquidation during
that period, were refunded the assessments which they had paid less their
share of the costs of operation of the temporary fund. Such refunds
amounted to $9,772,648.87.
Assessments under the permanent plan. The revised permanent
insurance plan provided that each insured bank should file a certified
statement on or before November 15, 1935, showing its average daily
deposit liabilities, adjusted for uncollected items, for the month of
October, and that the initial assessment covering the period ending
December 31, 1935, should be one-third the annual assessment rate of
one-twelfth of 1 percent upon such deposits.
The aggregate of the initial assessment upon all insured banks amounted
to $11,475,840.19. This assessment was deducted from the credits to
the individual insured banks arising from the assessments which had
been paid into the temporary Federal deposit insurance funds. Initial
assessments exceeded credits established at the close of the temporary
JThe increase in coverage was made optional for mutual savings banks.

funds in the case of only 25 banks. It is estimated that about two-thirds
of the insured banks have sufficient amounts to their credit to cover the
two semi-annual assessments due in 1936.
Each bank is required to file a statement on or before January 15 and
on or before July 15 of each year showing the average daily amount of
its deposits, adjusted for uncollected items, during the six months ending,
respectively, on the preceding December 31 and June 30.1
Operating expenses o f the Corporation. The Board of Directors
of the Corporation, under the deposit insurance law, is made fully respon­
sible for all expenses of operating the Corporation, including determination
of the number of employees and of their compensation, and the incurring
of overhead expenses. The President of the United States by Executive
Order No. 7150, dated August 19, 1935, requires the submission to the
Bureau of the Budget of estimates of the Corporation’s expenditures.
The operating expenses of the Corporation during 1935, not including
estimated losses resulting from and expenses incidental to payments to
depositors in closed banks were approximately $2.5 million. Both in
1934 and in 1935 these operating expenses were less than the current in­
come of the Corporation from the investment of its funds.
Financial statements. Condensed balance sheets of the Corporation
as of December 31, 1934, and December 31, 1935, are given in Table 2.
An analysis of surplus for the year 1935 is shown in Table 3. A statement
showing the condition of the Corporation at the close of the temporary
funds, August 22, 1935, and including an analysis of surplus to that
date, will be found on page 230.
PAYMENTS TO DEPOSITORS IN SUSPENDED INSURED BANKS

Twenty-six insured banks suspended during 1935, of which 4 were
national banks and 22 were State banks not members of the Federal
Reserve System. Sixteen banks, one of which was reopened with no
payments to depositors being made by the Corporation, closed prior to
the termination of the temporary Federal deposit insurance funds. Ten
banks insured under the permanent plan suspended. One of these
suspended on the last day of the year, and was not placed in liquidation
until 1936. Twenty-four banks were placed in receivership, and the
Corporation began to make payments to their depositors during 1935.
Deposits paid by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation.
The insured deposits have been paid as rapidly as the depositors have
presented and proved their claims. By December 31, 1935, the Cor­
poration had paid $5,447,000, or more than 89 percent, of the insured
deposits in the 24 suspended banks which were placed in receivership
lrThe certified statements required to be submitted on or before January 15, 1936, reported average
deposits for only the three months ending December 31, 1935.

during the year. Insured deposits of $666,000 remained unpaid at the
end of the year. More than two-thirds of the unpaid insured deposits
were deposits in the last nine banks to close; the remainder was made up
of unproved claims, of inactive accounts, and of the accounts of depositors
who failed to file claims although repeated notices had been sent to them.
The figures are summarized in Table 4.

Depositors in the 24 insured banks placed in receivership during 1935
numbered 31,811. Of these, 31,598 were fully protected by insurance,
preferred claims, pledge of security, or offsetting claims; 213 depositors
had only a general claim on the assets of the bank in receivership for
deposits in excess of $5,000. By December 31, 1935, the claims of
21,195 depositors had been paid by the Corporation or settled by the
allowance of their preferment or by the sale of pledged security. The
deposit claims of 1,951 depositors had been fully settled by the offsetting
of counter claims which the bank held against these depositors. The
claims of 8,665 depositors had not been presented or proved by Dec­
ember 31, 1935, and, as a consequence, the Corporation was unable to
make payment on them.
During 1935 payments amounting to $60,380 were made by the
Corporation to previously unpaid depositors of the nine insured banks
which closed during 1934. At the end of 1935, only $18,657 still re­
mained due to about 3,400 depositors on their insured deposits in these
banks. The claims of most of these depositors had not been presented.
Procedure for paying depositors. Upon notification of the sus­
pension of an insured bank, preparations are begun immediately for
payment of the insured deposits. All deposit accounts in the various
classifications found in the closed bank’s records are analyzed in such
a manner as to bring all items from the respective classes of accounts
into one total for each depositor in the same right and in the same
capacity. All debts due the closed bank by each depositor in the same
right and in the same capacity are also noted. In this way each net
insured deposit payable by the Corporation is established in conformity



PAYMENTS TO DEPOSITORS

15

with the requirements of law. This preparation is usually accomplished
within the period ordinarily designated by statute in which directors or
stockholders may institute proceedings to contest the action of the
authority which closed the bank.
Payment of the insured deposits is started promptly after the respec­
tive receiverships become final. In the banks which suspended and
were placed in receivership during 1935 this interval varied from 1 to 28
days, and averaged 10 days.
The Banking Act of 1933 required that the Corporation organize a
new national bank to succeed each suspended insured bank. When
organized, such bank served as the agency of the Corporation for paying
the insured deposits of the closed bank. The Corporation made avail­
able to the new bank an amount equal to the estimated insured deposits
of the closed bank plus an amount necessary to cover its operating
expenses. As depositors proved their claims and assigned them to the
Corporation, orders were drawn by the claim agent of this Corporation
on the new bank for the net amount of the depositor’s insured deposits.
These orders were non-negotiable and upon presentation to the new
bank were paid in cash or by draft on a Federal Reserve bank.
The Banking Act of 1935, which became effective August 23, 1935,
permits payments to be made directly to the depositors by claim agents
appointed by the Corporation. However, the Corporation may, if it is
considered advisable, organize a new national bank in the same com­
munity to assume the insured deposits of a closed insured bank. The
depositors have been paid directly by the Corporation in the case of
eight insured banks which suspended between August 23 and December
31, 1935. The power to make payments through a new bank has been
exercised in only one case (Bradford, Pennsylvania) since the effective
date of the new act.
Deposit insurance national banks. The new national bank
organized in connection with the payment of the insured deposits in a
closed bank is chartered without capital under the title, “ Deposit
Insurance National Bank o f ................................ (name of the city in
which it is located,)” . The business of this bank is conducted under the
direction of an official designated by the Federal Deposit Insurance
Corporation.
Although deposit insurance national banks may be authorized by
the Corporation to accept new deposits, only one institution thus far
organized has been given this power. The deposit insurance national
banks organized prior to August 23, 1935, have served merely as paying
agencies of the Corporation. Funds made available to such banks by
the Corporation and deposits accepted by these banks must be held
in cash, invested in direct obligations of the United States Government,
or carried on deposit with the Corporation or with a Federal Reserve
bank.



16

FEDERAL DEPOSIT INSURANCE CORPORATION

The deposit insurance law provides for the capitalization of deposit
insurance national banks within a period of two years, if in the discretion
of the Corporation it is desirable and in the public interest to establish
another bank in the community in which the insured bank closed.
This capitalization is accomplished through the sale of capital stock as
required for the organization of an ordinary national bank in the
locality. The deposit insurance national bank is then chartered as an
ordinary national banking association. If such capitalization is not
accomplished within two years from the date of organization, the affairs
of the deposit insurance national bank must be closed and its charter
surrendered. It is expected that all of the deposit insurance national
banks organized prior to August 23, 1935, will be liquidated at the
earliest possible date. At the close of the year arrangements were
being made for the capitalization of the Deposit Insurance National
Bank of Bradford, Pennsylvania.1

LIQUIDATION OF INSURED BANKS IN RECEIVERSHIP

Receiverships of insured banks. Four of the insured banks
suspended during 1935 were national banks and, as required by law, the
Corporation was appointed receiver for these institutions. In addition,
the Corporation was appointed by State authorities as liquidator of two
State banks placed in receivership during the year. The Corporation
has also continued to act as receiver of the one national bank which
suspended during 1934. The receiverships of 18 insured State banks
which suspended during 1935 and of the 8 which closed during 1934
are being administered by representatives of the banking authorities
of the States in which the closed banks were located.
Recoveries from banks in receivership. Dividends received by
the Corporation to December 31, 1935, from the liquidation of the 33
suspended insured banks placed in receivership during 1934 and 1935
amounted to $528,532. Based upon estimates of recovery adjusted to
December 31, 1935, it is expected that the Corporation will ultimately
recover about 65 percent on the claims to which it was subrogated upon
payment of insured deposits in these banks. These estimates indicate
a loss to the Corporation of approximately $2.5 million on account of
payments to depositors in insured banks which were placed in re­
ceivership during 1934 and 1935.

By December 31, 1935, the nine insured banks which suspended
during 1934 had been in liquidation from 12 to 18 months. The
x0n June 20, 1936, the capitalization having been completed, the bank became The Citizens National
Bank of Bradford, Pennsylvania.

It is anticipated that further payments will be received in all cases

LOANS ON ASSETS OF INSURED BANKS

Powers o f the Corporation. Under the Banking Act of 1935 the
Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation is authorized to make loans
secured by assets of insured banks provided: first, such a loan will
reduce the risk or avert a threatened loss to the Corporation; and
second, the loan will facilitate a merger or consolidation of the borrowing
bank with another insured bank or the sale of its assets and the assump­
tion of its liabilities by another insured bank. Under the same con­
ditions the Corporation may purchase assets from insured banks, or
guarantee one insured bank against loss by reason of its assuming the
liabilities and taking over the assets of another insured bank.1
Advances by the Corporation under this provision will ordinarily
be in the form of loans, but the power to purchase assets is also of
importance, particularly in cases where, by limitations imposed by State
law or by charter, the bank is prevented from borrowing money or
pledging assets beyond a specific amount, or where the existence of
mortgage moratoria laws involving restrictions on foreclosures makes
it impracticable to loan money on such security.
Purpose o f powers. The loan, purchase, and guarantee powers of
the Corporation are used to effect absorptions, mergers, or consolidations
where such operations will increase the strength of the banking structure
and reduce the loss to the Corporation. Where a bank has its capital
impaired or completely depleted and the continued contribution of
capital only postpones failure, the Corporation will eventually have to
take a loss. It is preferable to take such losses currently and not
permit them to accumulate and to fall heavily upon the Corporation’s
reserves during a period of financial stress. Use of the loan, purchase,
or guarantee powers of the Corporation facilitates the elimination of
banks which remain in an unsatisfactory condition and which cannot
be rehabilitated otherwise with reasonable promptness.
Use o f powers during 1935. During the few months elapsing
between the effective date of the Banking Act of 1935 and the close of
the year, one loan was made to an insured bank under these provisions.
xThis pow er was granted originally o n ly until July 1, 1936, bu t was further extended until July 1, 1938,
b y Pu blic R esolu tion o f Congress N o. 83, app roved A pril 21, 1936.

FEDERAL DEPOSIT INSURANCE CORPORATION

This loan amounted to $2,862,650. No bank assets were purchased
during the year, nor was any guarantee executed.
ADMISSIONS TO AND TERMINATIONS OF INSURANCE

Admissions to the temporary insurance funds. From the be­
ginning of the year to the close of the temporary insurance funds, 199
banks not members of the Federal Reserve System applied for admission
to insurance.1 These banks were examined, and all except 10 were
admitted to insurance.
Six banks whose applications had been received in 1934 were also
admitted in 1935, and one bank which suspended was reopened and re­
instated as an insured bank. The total number of admissions of banks
not members of the Federal Reserve System, from the beginning of the
year to the close of the temporary funds, was 196. One of the banks
admitted was a mutual savings bank.
During the same period 28 national banks opened for business on the
authorization of the Comptroller of the Currency, and 3 newly organized
State banks were admitted to membership in the Federal Reserve System.
These banks automatically became insured.
Admissions to insurance under the permanent plan. The
Banking Act of 1935 requires that the Corporation, in passing on the
application of a noninsured bank for admission to insurance, give con­
sideration to the financial history and condition of the bank, the adequacy
of its capital structure, its future earning prospects, the general character
of its management, and the consistency of its corporate powers with the
purposes of the deposit insurance law.
During the period from August 23 to the end of the year applications
were received from 124 State banks for admission to insurance. Of
these applications, 44 were approved, 24 were rejected, and 56 were
pending at the close of the year.2 Table 5 shows how many of the banks
admitted to insurance, and of those rejected, were operating at the begin­
ning of the year, and how many were new banks opened or contemplated,
During the same period six national banks opened for business on the
authorization of the Comptroller of the Currency, one State bank member
of the Federal Reserve System which had been closed was reopene/i, and
one newly organized State bank and one State bank not previously insured
were admitted to membership in the Federal Reserve System. These
banks automatically became insured.

Act of 1935 provided for the automatic admission to insurance under the
permanent plan of all banks insured at the close of the temporary funds,
except banks which signified within 30 days their intention to withdraw
from insurance and banks which had failed to file the required certified
statement of deposits and to pay assessments.
Thirty-four banks insured under the temporary plan withdrew within
30 days after the close of the temporary funds.1 One other bank had
its insurance status terminated by reason of failure to file the certified
statement required in connection with the temporary funds.2
From January 1, 1935, to the close of the temporary funds 16 insured
banks suspended, and the insured status of 172 banks was terminated
on account of voluntary liquidations, successions, mergers, consolidations,
or absorptions by other banks. The insurance of three other banks was
automatically terminated when they withdrew from the Federal Reserve
System.
Termination of insurance under the permanent plan. The
Banking Act of 1935 provides for the voluntary withdrawal of banks
from insurance under the permanent insurance plan, and also for the
termination by the Corporation of the insured status of any bank if the
bank is found by the Corporation to have continued unsafe or unsound
practices or to have knowingly or negligently permitted its officers or
agents to violate any law or regulation to which it is subject. Termina­
tion of insurance by the Corporation because of unsound practices or
violation of law is to be made only after giving notice to the supervisory
authority having jurisdiction over the insured bank, and after a hearing
at which the insured bank may give evidence regarding its operations.
During the period from August 23 to December 31, no withdrawals

FEDERAL DEPOSIT INSURANCE CORPORATION

Establishment and change o f location of branch offices. Under
the provisions of the Banking Act of 1935 the approval of the Corporation
is necessary whenever an insured bank not a member of the Federal
Reserve System establishes a branch or changes the location of a branch.
Between the effective date of the Banking Act of 1935 and the end of the
year applications were received "from 25 banks for permission to establish
or relocate branches. In 23 cases the applications covered the establish­
ment of one new branch, in one case the consolidation of two branches into
one branch and the establishment of a new branch, and in one case a
change of location of a branch. Of these applications for permission to
establish or change the location of branches, 10 were approved, 5 were
rejected and 10 were pending or had been dropped at the close of the year.

APPLICATIONS FOR CAPITAL CHANGES AND FOR RELEASE OF
RESTRICTED DEPOSITS

Under the Banking Act of 1935 insured banks not members of the
Federal Reserve System must obtain the approval by the Corporation
of any reduction or retirement of common or preferred capital stock or
capital notes or debentures. They must also obtain the permission of
the Corporation to release deposits previously restricted and for that
reason not insured.
Reduction of capital stock. From August 23 to the end of the
year 191 banks applied for permission to reduce or retire capital obliga­
tions amounting to $13,317,400. Of these applications 134, involvingi l l , 189,600, were approved by the Corporation. Of the applications
approved, 98 involved retirement of $5,104,900 of obligations held by the
Reconstruction Finance Corporation. Reductions of common stock and
retirements of locally held preferred stock or capital notes, amounting to
$6,084,700, were approved in 37 cases.1 Most of these applications were
for the purpose of revaluing book capital in order to write off accumulated
losses. In a few cases, however, the retirement was to be utilized in
whole or in part to return capital to stockholders.

Release o f restricted deposits. At the beginning of 1935 approxi­
mately 140 insured banks not members of the Federal Reserve System
had a portion of their deposits deferred or restricted. Such deferred or
restricted deposits amounted to $16 million. The original permanent
insurance plan made no provision for the exclusion from insurance of
such restricted deposits if these banks were admitted to permanent
insurance. In anticipation of the permanent plan becoming effective
July 1, 1935, these banks were examined, and attempts were made to
arrange for the elimination of such restricted deposits. However, the
Banking Act of 1935 excludes restricted deposits from insurance under
lOne application approved in volved both retirem ent o f obligations held by the R e co n stru ctio n F in ­
ance C orporation, and revaluation o f private capital.

the revised permanent plan until and unless such deposits, with the
approval of the Corporation, are made available to depositors.
From January 1 to the termination of the temporary plan releases by
116 of these banks to depositors of some or all of their restricted deposits
amounted to approximately $10 million.
Among the banks not members of the Federal Reserve System
admitted to permanent insurance on August 23, 1935, were 61 with
restricted deposits amounting to $6 million. Of this amount nearly $4
million were made available to depositors, with the approval of the
Corporation, by the end of the year.

BANK EXAMINATIONS

Examination policy. The Corporation has continued its policy of
examining each insured bank not a member of the Federal Reserve
System once during each calendar year. Second examinations are made,
if necessary, when it is desired to ascertain the current position of a
particular bank or prior to a consolidation, capital adjustment, or other
change. Where feasible, examinations are conducted jointly with ex­
aminers from the State banking departments in order to avoid duplica­
tion of examinations and to relieve banks of the inconvenience of
numerous examinations. The Corporation sends to the Reconstruction
Finance Corporation copies of reports of examinations of all insured
banks not members of the Federal Reserve System in which that
Corporation has an investment in preferred stock, capital notes, or
debentures.
Examination personnel and procedure. The organization of the
Division of Examination includes a staff of review examiners and
assistants in the Washington office, and, in each of the 12 districts, a
supervising examiner with a staff of examiners and assistants.
Early in 1935 examiners from each of the 12 districts were selected
for specialized work in the examination of trust departments of insured
banks. These specialists in trust work were assigned to examine the
larger trust departments and to advise other examiners in the conduct
of examinations of smaller trust departments. To aid in this phase of
the examining program a new manual of instructions for examiners of
trust departments was prepared. This manual contains a compilation
of the most recent legislation and court decisions pertaining to the
exercise of fiduciary powers by banks and adapts the examining pro­
cedure to current practices in the operation of trust departments.
In the interest of efficiency the Corporation initiated a policy of
holding examiners’ conferences in the various districts. Each con­
ference is held under the direction of a supervising examiner with all
examiners and assistant examiners of that district in attendance.



24

FEDERAL DEPOSIT INSURANCE CORPORATION

Various phases of examination procedure are discussed by bank ex­
aminers and other persons having specialized experience in the appraisal
of real estate and securities and in other phases of examination procedure.
Two such conferences were held during 1935.
Number of examinations made. During the year 8,200 bank
examinations were made by the Corporation. This number includes
one regular examination for each of the 7,711 banks not members of
the Federal Reserve System insured during a part or all of the year,
258 second examinations of such banks, and 231 examinations of banks
applying for admission to insurance.1

REGULATIONS AND RULINGS OF THE CORPORATION

During 1935 the Corporation promulgated five regulations relating
to insured banks. Two of these regulations were of a temporary
character and dealt respectively with the right of insured banks not
members of the Federal Reserve System to withdraw from insurance
at the close of the temporary funds, and with the manner of notice
which banks thus withdrawing were required to give to their depositors.
The remaining three regulations are of a permanent character and relate
to the following topics: (I) obligations of insured banks found and
prescribed to be deposit liabilities by general usage; (II) deduction of
uncollected items from total deposit liabilities in determining the assess­
ment base; (III) display of official sign at deposit windows and inclusion
of official advertising statement in certain advertisements. A regulation
was also drawn in 1935, but not promulgated until 1936, relating to
the payment of interest on deposits. These regulations will be found
on pages 87-103.
Regulations of a temporary character were given a letter designation,
while the regulations of a permanent character were given a Roman
numeral designation. The Corporation has also issued rulings relating
to deposits evidenced by negotiable instruments and to the reporting for
assessment purposes of deposit liabilities of one bank assumed by another
bank.
Notice of termination of insurance at the close of the tem ­
porary funds. Under the Banking Act of 1935 all banks insured

under the temporary insurance plan were automatically admitted to
insurance under the permanent plan. State banks not members of the
Federal Reserve System, however, were given an opportunity to ter­
minate their insurance as of the close of the temporary funds, provided
they gave notice of such termination within 30 days from the effective
date of the Act. The deposits in banks terminating their insurance
E x a m in a tio n s o f banks app lying for insurance were fewer during 1935 than the num ber o f app lica­
tions acted upon b y the Board o f D irectors because o f reapplication by banks w hich had been exam in­
ed, but not ap p roved , in 1934.




REGULATIONS AND RULINGS

25

during this period continued to be insured for a further 20 days or until
midnight of October 12, 1935.
A bank electing to terminate its insurance was required to give notice
to the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, and to the Reconstruction
Finance Corporation if that Corporation owned or held as pledgee any
preferred stock, capital notes, or debentures of such bank. Regulation
G, adopted by the Board of Directors, and made effective August 26,
1935, prescribed the manner of exercise of this right of an insured bank
not a member of the Federal Reserve System to withdraw from in­
surance within 30 days after August 23, the effective date of the Banking
Act of 1935.
Notice to depositors o f insured banks withdrawing from in ­
surance at the close o f the tem porary funds. The Banking Act
of 1935 provided that the Board of Directors of the Federal Deposit
Insurance Corporation should cause notice of termination to be given
to the depositors of any bank withdrawing from insurance at the close
of the temporary funds. Regulation H, adopted by the Board of
Directors and made effective September 9,1935, prescribed the manner
in which such notice should be given to depositors of those banks which
withdrew within the 30 days allowed. The regulation required that a
notice to depositors, furnished by the Federal Deposit Insurance
Corporation, be posted in each office where the bank withdrawing from
insurance received deposits and also in the main post office in each city,
town, or village in which the bank received deposits. It was further
required that a notice having the same wording be published in con­
secutive issues of a local newspaper from September 22 to October 12,
1935.
Obligations o f insured banks found and prescribed to be
deposit liabilities by general usage. Under the provisions of the
revised deposit insurance law certain obligations of an insured bank are
specifically enumerated and made deposit liabilities. The law provides
further that such other obligations of an insured bank “ as the Board of
Directors shall find and shall prescribe by its regulations to be deposit
liabilities by general usage” shall be included as deposit liabilities for
the purpose of ascertaining the base upon which the annual assessment
of the Corporation is levied. Regulation I (Roman one), adopted by
the Board of Directors and made effective August 26, 1935, provides:
(1) that outstanding drafts, cashiers’ checks, and other officers’ checks
shall be considered deposit liabilities if issued for money or its equivalent,
issued for a charge against a deposit account, or issued in settlement of
checks, drafts, or other instruments forwarded to the issuing bank for
collection; (2) that checks drawn against a deposit account and certified
by the drawee bank shall be included among deposit liabilities; (3)
that outstanding drafts, checks, or letters of credit on which the bank



26

FEDERAL DEPOSIT INSURANCE CORPORATION

is primarily liable shall be included in deposits when issued for money
or its equivalent or for a charge against a deposit account. The effect
of this regulation is to include obligations of the various types mentioned
in deposit liabilities when such obligations are issued for the convenience
of customers of the bank but not to include them when issued in payment
for goods or securities purchased or expenses incurred by the bank.
In a ruling of the Corporation adopted October 1, 1935, the phrase
“ equivalent of money” is described by stating that drafts, cashiers’
checks and other officers’ checks, travelers checks and letters of credit
must be regarded as issued for the equivalent of money when issued in
exchange for checks or drafts or for promissory notes upon which the
person procuring any of the enumerated instruments is primarily or
secondarily liable. Another ruling exempts from assessment drafts
drawn on foreign correspondents or foreign branches and payable only
in foreign countries.
Deduction of uncollected items in determining assessment
base. Under the provisions of the revised deposit insurance law insured

banks are permitted to make deductions of certain uncollected items
from total deposit liabilities for the purpose of determining the base
upon which assessments are computed. Regulation II, adopted by the
Board of Directors and made effective August 26, 1935, provides that
uncollected items wrhich have been included in a bank’s total deposit
liabilities may be taken as deductions for the period of one day in the
case of local items and for periods in accordance with the Federal
Reserve bank time schedules in the case of out-of-town items.
Display of official sign and inclusion of official advertising
statement. The revised deposit insurance law provides that each

insured bank shall display at each place of business a sign prescribed by
the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, and shall include in ad­
vertisements relating to deposits a statement to the effect that its
deposits are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation.
Regulation III, approved and made effective on October 11, 1935,
supersedes Regulation F, issued in 1934, and prescribes the manner of
display of such signs and the substance of such advertising statements.
Payment of time deposits and of interest on deposits by insured
banks not members of the Federal Reserve System. The revised

deposit insurance law requires the Board of Directors of the Federal
Deposit Insurance Corporation to prohibit the payment of interest on
demand deposits in insured banks not members of the Federal Reserve
System and to limit the rate of interest paid by such banks on time and
savings deposits. Regulation IV, prescribing such limitations, was ap­
proved December 21, 1935, and was intended to supersede Regulations
B and C, issued in 1934. Regulation IV, however, was not promulgated
prior to the close of the year, and was, in fact, amended at a later date
prior to its issuance.



STATE LEGISLATION

27

Deposits evidenced by negotiable instruments. A ruling,
adopted October 1, 1935, provides that the owner of any negotiable
certificate of deposit, negotiable draft, negotiable cashier’s or officer’s
check, negotiable certified check, or negotiable travelers check or letter
of credit will be recognized as an insured depositor if affirmative proof
is presented that the instrument was negotiated to such owner prior to
the date of closing of such bank.
Reporting for assessment purposes deposit liabilities of a bank
which have been assumed by another bank. By a ruling adopted

November 7, 1935, the deposit liabilities of a bank assumed by another
bank are deemed, for purposes of assessment, to have ceased being
deposit liabilities of the first bank and to have become deposit liabilities
of the second bank on the date said assumption becomes effective,
except to the extent that depositors of the first bank by affirmative
action signify their express intention to hold the first bank liable as
debtor.
STATE LEGISLATION AFFECTING DEPOSIT INSURANCE

Recommendations by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corpora­
tion. As was indicated in the Annual Report of the Corporation for

the year ending December 31, 1934, the Corporation prepared for
consideration by State legislatures drafts of bills designed to make more
effective the insurance of bank deposits. This legislation was desired
chiefly because it was not possible for banks in all States, at the time the
deposit insurance law became effective, to cooperate with the Federal
Deposit Insurance Corporation to the extent contemplated by Federal
law. The suggested legislation was designed chiefly to serve the
following purposes:
1. To authorize appointment of the Federal Deposit Insurance
Corporation as receiver or liquidating agent of closed insured banks;
2. To provide for cooperation between State banking authorities
and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation in making examinations
and in exchanging information with regard to insured institutions;
3. To authorize banking institutions to issue preferred stock without
double liability or to sell capital notes or debentures, and to include
such stock or notes sold to the Reconstruction Finance Corporation in
computing unimpaired capital or in satisfying minimum capital require­
ments ;
4. To exempt insured banking institutions, to the extent of the
insurance coverage, from furnishing security for certain types of deposits
under requirements of State law applicable to banks generally;
5. Specifically to authorize banking institutions to take advantage
of all benefits furnished by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation.



28

FEDERAL DEPOSIT INSURANCE CORPORATION

State legislation enacted. By the close of 1935 the legislative
bodies of 23 States had adopted the first of the above proposals, and
in seven other States interpretation of existing statutes might, under
varying circumstances, justify the appointment of this Corporation
as receiver or liquidating agent. Twenty-four States had by legislation
or otherwise made the second proposal effective, and eight more had
authorized the exchange of information. Forty-six States had adopted
the third proposal. The fourth proposal was adopted intact, or prac­
tically so, in 23 States, partially in 5 more, and was unnecessary in 10
States. The fifth proposal has been adopted intact or in substance in
all of the States except two.
PROBLEMS AND POLICIES OF THE CORPORATION

The Corporation is using the power vested in it to improve the con­
dition of insured banks, and thus to reduce the probability of collapse of
large numbers of banks whenever a severe recession in business occurs.
The Corporation, however, possesses only limited powers of supervision of
insured banks and cannot by itself assure the success of its efforts. Num­
erous problems of credit policy and of general economic development and
change lie outside its proper sphere of action or influence.
The Corporation attempts to facilitate the adjustments which banks
must make from time to time and to prevent the development in in­
dividual institutions of those situations which render them particularly
vulnerable to economic change. The Corporation is concerned with the
availability of banking facilities, competitive relationships among banks
and between banks and other financial institutions, policies relating to
the chartering of banks, the maintenance of adequate capital structure,
the protection of banks against defalcation, and standards of bank
supervision.
Capital cushion. One of the major problems in the preservation of
a sound banking structure is the maintenance of an adequate capital
cushion. Bank supervisors in general and the Corporation in particular
must be continually concerned with the respective proportion of bank­
ing funds supplied by owners on the one hand and by creditors, chiefly
depositors, on the other. The greater the proportion of banking funds
supplied by owners, the greater the protection to depositors; the
smaller the capital in relation to total assets, the greater the risk borne by
creditors.
The Corporation has adopted the principle in admitting banks to
insurance and in rebuilding the capital structures of banks that no
bank should be operated without a net sound capital equal to at least
10 percent of its deposits. In relation to liabilities other than capital,
banks during recent years have maintained less than half the amount of
capital funds that was maintained a half century ago.



PROBLEMS AND POLICIES

29

Differences in character of business impose upon banks different
degrees of risk so that a capital ratio adequate for one type of bank
may be wholly inadequate for another type. Furthermore, economic
fluctuations may render inadequate a capital structure previously con­
sidered to be sufficient. The further strengthening of the capital
structure of insured banks thus continues to be one of the important
problems of the Corporation.
Bank chartering. During the years preceding 1920, banks were
chartered in many sections of the country which proved to be superfluous
from the standpoint of the banking needs of the communities and the
possibilities of profitable operation. The large number of new banks
organized during this period was one of the factors responsible for the
failures of the 1920’s and early 1930’s.
Responsibility for the chartering of banks is widely scattered with
no single governmental authority controlling the extension of banking
facilities. National banks begin operations with the approval of the
Comptroller of the Currency; State banks members of the Federal
Reserve System with the approval of State and Federal Reserve authori­
ties; insured banks not members of the Federal Reserve System with
the approval of State authorities and the Federal Deposit Insurance
Corporation; and noninsured State banks with the approval of State
authorities only. It should be noted also that since the Corporation is
required automatically to admit to insurance all newly organized national
banks and all State banks admitted to membership in the Federal Reserve
System, the application to all classes of banks of uniform standards for
admission to insurance is now possible only through voluntary cooperation
among the Federal agencies involved.
Branch banking. Branch banking has been repeatedly advocated
by many business groups and by many students of banking as a means of
providing banking facilities in places where such facilities are needed
but where independent banks may not be able to operate profitably.
However, relatively little information is available regarding the com­
parative costs of operating branches and of operating independent unit
banks, or regarding the types and quality of banking service rendered
by branches and by independent unit banks.
Unnecessary and unprofitable banking offices may result from the
establishment of numerous branches as well as from the chartering
of numerous unit banks. The Corporation, in passing upon applications
for the establishment of branches by insured banks not members of the
Federal Reserve System, examines carefully the needs of the com­
munities and the probabilities of profitable operation of banking offices
in those communities. In this connection consideration is given not
only to the number of banks and banking offices and to the volume of
deposits in the community, but also to banking facilities offered by other



30

types of credit institutions and to the effect upon the banks of com­
petition with such other institutions.
Surety bonds. Defalcation on the part of bank officers or employees
is an important cause of failure of banks. In order that losses of this
type should not fall on the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation the
Banking Act of 1935 gives the Corporation the power to require insured
banks to carry adequate fidelity or surety bonds.
The problem of establishing definite amounts of fidelity and surety
bonds which must be carried by insured banks is one to which the
Corporation has given attention. No regulations have been issued
regarding this problem. Bank examiners, however, have at times
recommended to banks that they increase the amount of such protection
in cases where the amount carried was obviously inadequate.
Interest rate regulation. Under the Banking Act of 1935 the
Corporation is required to prohibit the payment of interest on demand
deposits in insured banks not members of the Federal Reserve System
and to limit the rates of interest or dividends paid by such banks on
savings and time deposits. The Corporation is also required to pro­
hibit insured banks not members of the Federal Reserve System from
paying any time deposit before its maturity except upon such conditions
as may be prescribed by the Corporation, and to prohibit the waiving
by such bank of any requirement of notice before the payment of savings
deposits unless such waiver is extended by the bank to all savings
deposits having that requirement.
These duties are similar to duties imposed upon the Board of Gov­
ernors of the Federal Reserve System with respect to banks which are
members of the Federal Reserve System. The Corporation believes
it to be the intent of Congress, through the granting of these regulatory
powers, to prevent unsound competition among banks and to check the
tendency of competition to raise the rates of interest to levels which
may imperil the sound operation of banks. The Corporation has
accordingly endeavored to work in close cooperation with the Board
of Governors of the Federal Reserve System in order to avoid, insofar
as possible, conflicting regulations.
Banks compete with other types of institutions for the savings and
investment funds of the people of the country. If banks pay too high
a rate of interest an unduly large volume of savings deposits will be
attracted to the banks to the detriment of other competing institutions.
On the other hand, if the limits upon the rates of interest which may be
paid by banks are kept at too low levels there will be a tendency for
institutions which are competitors of the banks, such as building and
loan associations, industrial banks, credit unions, and various other
types of savings, investment, and cooperative credit institutions, to
acquire business which has hitherto been held by banks. Decisions re

garding maximum rates of interest to be paid on time deposits must from
the very nature of the problem be related to public policy regarding the
functions not only of the banking system but also of other parts of the
credit system.







PART TWO
DEPOSIT INSURANCE AND BANKING DEVELOPMENTS







SUM M ARY OF BANKING DEVELOPMENTS

The year 1935 marked further progress in banking reconstruction and
in the development of a sound deposit insurance structure. Banking
facilities were extended to a number of communities which, since the
banking holiday in 1933, had lacked such local facilities. A number of
weak banks in other communities were merged or consolidated with
stronger institutions.
Deposits in insured banks increased substantially during the year.
This growth was accompanied by a growth in assets generally considered
to be least subject to depreciation—cash, balances with other banks, and
United States Government securities. The quality of the banks’ assets
and the soundness of their capital structures improved during the year.
On the other hand, notwithstanding the growth in their assets, total
earnings of insured banks declined. Total expenses were reduced cor­
respondingly, however, and net earnings showed practically no change
from the preceding year. Recoveries on assets previously written off
were larger and write-offs of depreciated assets were smaller, and banks
as a whole showed a net profit in 1935 as compared with a deficit in 1934.
CHANGES IN NUMBER OF COMMERCIAL BANKING OFFICES

Number o f banks and branches. At the close of 1935 there were
18,448 banking offices in operation in the United States and possessions,
an increase of 29 for the year period. The number of operating com­
mercial banks was reduced by 104, the number of branches was increased
by 133. The figures are given in Table 7.

banking which has been in existence since the beginning of the century.
The proportion of total banking offices consisting of branches increased
during 1935 from 16.7 percent to 17.4 percent. In 1925 about 6 percent
of the banking offices were branches.
Changes in banks and branches. The number of new banks and
branches opened, the number discontinued and ceasing operation, and the
number of banks converted into branches, in the United States and
possessions during 1935, are given in Table 8.

2Excludes successions and conversions.

The table shows that 184 new banks opened for business during the
year and that 288 banks either discontinued business or were absorbed or
converted into branches. In addition to the 81 branches resulting from
absorption of banks, 138 new branches were opened. Eighty-six branches
were discontinued during the year. One of the banks opened, together
with one of the branches, was located in Hawaii.
The changes in the number of banks and branches reflect further
progress in the reorganization of the banking structure since the panic of
1933. The new banks were generally larger and more advantageously
oeated than were the banks that discontinued business. Of the banks
coming into existence a greater proportion were in towns having no other
banking facilities than was the case of those ceasing operations. Of the
183 new banks established in the United States, 121 were in places without
banks or other banking offices, and 39 were in places having only one
other bank. A smaller percentage of the new banks than of those ceasing
operations were in places with less than 1,000 population; and a smaller
percentage of the new banks than of those ceasing operations had a total
capital account of less than $25,000.
Of the new banks opened for business during 1935, 18 were national
banks, 2 were State banks members of the Federal Reserve System, 136
were State banks not members of the Federal Reserve System which
either were insured at the time of opening or became insured before the
end of the year, and 27 were not insured on December 31, 1935. The

Insured and non insured banks. The proportion of operating com­
mercial banks insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation and
also the proportion of commercial banking offices having insured status
increased slightly during the year. On December 31, 1935, insured
commercial banks held 96.9 percent of the total deposits in all commercial
banks, compared with 97.4 percent on December 31, 1934.

Condensed consolidated balance sheet. Table 9 gives condensed
consolidated balance sheets of insured commercial banks at the beginning
and at the close of 1935. The chief changes during the year were an
increase in deposits of $5.1 billion, a decrease in other liabilities of $0.7
billion, and an increase in assets of $4.5 billion.

admitted to or withdrawing from insurance. Practically all of the in­
crease was a growth in the deposits of banks operating throughout the
year.
The greater portion of the growth in deposits occurred in demand
deposits of individuals and business enterprises, this increase being three
times the amount of increase in time deposits of individuals and business
enterprises. Deposits of other banks also contributed to the growth in
total deposits, but United States Government deposits were sharply
reduced.
Deposits increased m each of the States, ranging from 0.1 percent in
Connecticut to 30.0 percent in Nevada. In general, the growth of de­
posits was relatively least in the New England States, and relatively
greatest in the East North Central States. Geographic differences in
rates of increase are shown by the map on page 39.
Types of assets acquired by insured commercial banks. The
growth of assets that accompanied the expansion of deposits was chiefly
in cash, amounts due from banks, and United States Government obliga­
tions. Cash and amounts due from banks increased almost 24 percent
and continued substantially in excess of legal requirements for reserve
purposes. Holdings of United States Government obligations increased
by 13 percent.

Loans and discounts outstanding and holdings of securities other than
United States Government obligations increased by 2 percent. How­
ever, both the volume of new loans made in excess of those paid off by
customers, and the volume of industrial securities purchased in excess
of those matured or sold, were greater than appears from a direct com­
parison of bank holdings of these assets at the beginning and end of the
year. Book values of loans and discounts and of securities were reduced
through write-offs and some loans and discounts were exchanged for
obligations of the Home Owners’ Loan Corporation and of the Federal
Land Banks. These obligations are fully guaranteed by the United
States Government.
At the close of 1935 approximately two-fifths of the assets of insured
commercial banks represented credit extended to individuals and business
enterprises (including State, local, and foreign governments) in the form
of loans and discounts and of purchases of securities. United States
Government obligations, direct and fully guaranteed, constituted onefourth of all assets of insured commercial banks. Cash and amounts
due from banks constituted another fourth of the assets of these banks.

Factors in the growth of deposits and assets. The growth of
deposits and of assets of insured banks in 1935 was the net result of the
operation of various factors, some of which tended to increase, some
to decrease, deposits and assets. The chief factors tending to increase
deposits and assets were: (1) imports of gold and monetization of gold
and silver bullion aggregating $2.3 billion; (2) purchases by insured banks
of United States obligations to the extent of $2.2 billion in excess of
sales and maturities, excluding retirement of bonds pledged by banks to
secure national bank notes; (3) the making of new loans and discounts,
and purchases by insured banks of securities other than obligations of
the United States Government, amounting to $1.1 billion in excess of
those paid off, sold and retired; and (4) an increase in domestic inter-bank
obligations amounting to $1.1 billion. The effects of the foregoing factors
were partly offset by: (1) the use by banks of $0.6 billion from their
earnings to write-off loans and securities considered to be worthless; (2)
withdrawal of $0.2 billion of cash by the public; (3) withdrawal by the
United States Treasury of $0.4 billion of currency for retirement; and
(4) a decrease of $0.3 billion in miscellaneous assets.

In addition to the changes enumerated above, the assets of the banks
were reduced by $0.7 billion as a result of the retirement of United States
Government bonds pledged to secure national bank notes. The liability
of the banks for these notes was assumed by the United States Treasury.
APPRAISAL OF ASSETS OF INSURED COMMERCIAL BANKS NOT
MEMBERS OF THE FEDERAL RESERVE SYSTEM

The condition of insured banks is dependent not only upon the volume
of assets held by the banks but also upon the character and quality of
such assets. The change in bank assets which occurred during 1935 was
of a type which lessened the average risks of depreciation. The assets
acquired during the year—chiefly cash, balances with other banks, and
United States Government obligations—are subject, under the present
banking structure, to less risk of depreciation in value than are other types
of assets. Furthermore, in the case of insured banks not members of the
Federal Reserve System, the percentage of assets classed by examiners
as worthless or doubtful, was reduced below the amounts so classified in
1934. The reduction was accomplished chiefly through write-offs and
through increases in the appraised value of such assets.
Worthless and doubtful assets. Only banks not members of the
Federal Reserve System are examined by the Federal Deposit Insurance
Corporation; and data regarding the proportion of bank assets which are
worthless or doubtful, or are of substandard quality, have been compiled
only for these banks.

Assets classified by examiners as worthless or of doubtful value amounted
to $306 million. Assets not shown on the books amounted to $40 million.
The net worthless and doubtful items thus amounted to $266 million, or
4 percent of total assets. In 1934 the net worthless or doubtful items
amounted to 6 percent of total assets.



41

Large banks appear to have larger proportions of worthless and doubtful
assets than do small banks. In Table 10 banks not members of the
Federal Reserve System are grouped by size, and the percentages of
assets classified by examiners as worthless and doubtful are shown for
the banks in each size group.

Total capital account. Total capital account includes capital stock,

At the close of 1935, the total capital account of insured commercial banks
amounted to $6 billion, or 12 percent of total assets, as compared with
13 percent of total assets at the close of 1934. The decline in the ratio
of total capital account to assets was due to the fact that assets increased
rapidly during the year, while there was little change' in total capital
account. Total capital account increased during 1935 by $58 million, or
less than 1 percent. Changes are summarized in Table 11.

Net sound capital of banks not members of the Federal Reserve
System. The net sound capital of a bank is obtained by deducting from

total capital account the book value of assets classified by examiners as
worthless or of doubtful value and adding the determinable sound banking
value of assets not shown on the books of the banks and unrealized
appreciation of securities. Data summarizing the soundness of capital
accounts have been compiled only for those banks examined by the
Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation.
The net sound capital of insured commercial banks not members of the
Federal Reserve System, at the time of examinations in 1935, amounted
to $900 million, or 77 percent of total capital account, a substantial
improvement from the time of examinations in 1934 when net sound
capital amounted to only $800 million, or 67 percent of total capital
account.
The growth in net sound capital, at a time when there was practically
no change in total capital account, was due to the fact that net earnings
from current operations, recoveries on assets previously written off and
profits on securities sold were used to write off $129 million of depreciated
assets and of assets classified as worthless or of doubtful value. The
assets written off amounted to 12 percent of the total capital account of
the banks.
Relation of net sound capital to net sound assets and to deposits.

The ratio of net sound capital to net sound assets indicates what per­
centage of depreciation in the value of assets, other than assets already
classified by examiners as worthless or of doubtful value, would wipe out
the equity of stockholders and leave depositors, other creditors, and the
Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation without protection against further
asset depreciation. Between examinations in 1934 and those in 1935 net
sound capital of insured banks not members of the Federal Reserve
System increased from 13.5 to 14.0 percent of net sound assets, while the
ratio of net sound capital to deposits rose from 15.8 percent to 16.6 percent.

CAPITAL OF INSURED COMMERCIAL BANKS

Eighty-seven percent of the banks had net sound capital amounting to
more than 10 percent of deposits. About 24 percent of the banks had net
sound capital amounting to between 10 and 15 percent of their deposits,
and 63 percent of the banks had net sound capital in excess of L5 percent.
The figures are shown in Table 12.
In 1935, as in 1934, 13 percent of the banks had a net sound capital
amounting to less than 10 percent of their deposits. Banks with net
sound capital amounting to less than 5 percent of their deposits and
banks without net sound capital comprised 2 percent of all banks in 1935
as compared with 2.5 percent in 1934 and nearly 20 percent in 1933.

Capital supplied by the Reconstruction Finance Corporation.

During 1935 the amount of capital obligations of insured commercial
banks held by the Reconstruction Finance Corporation increased from
$821 million to $867 million. At the end of the year the bank capital
supplied by that Corporation was 14 percent of the total capital account
of all insured banks, as compared with 13 percent at the end of 1934,
and 26 percent of the total par value of their capital stock, notes, and
debentures, as compared with 24.5 percent. The Reconstruction Finance
Corporation held capital stock, notes, and debentures in 5,675 of the
14,125 insured banks on December 31, 1935.
In the case of insured banks not members of the Federal Reserve
System, capital obligations held by the Reconstruction Finance Corpora­
tion amounted to 19.9 percent of book capital on December 31, 1935, as
compared with 18.7 percent on December 31, 1934. Such obligations
represented 23.5 percent of net sound capital of these banks in 1935, as
compared with 21.9 percent in 1934. Nearly half of the insured banks
not members of the Federal Reserve System reported capital funds
supplied by that Corporation. In these banks, one-half of the net sound
capital was supplied by the Reconstruction Finance Corporation and
one-half by private interests.

EARNINGS OF INSURED COMMERCIAL BANKS

Earnings from current operations. Total earnings of all insured
commercial banks in 1935 amounted to $1,483 million, 2 percent less than
in 1934, although total earning assets were 6 percent greater than in
1934. Operating expenses in 1935 amounted to $1,041 million, which was
also about 2 percent below such expenses in 1934.
Net earnings from current operations, before taking into account re­
coveries on assets previously written off, profits on securities sold, and
deductions because of depreciation and worthless assets written off,
amounted to $442 million, practically the same as in 1934 and equivalent
to $0.93 for each $100 of total assets, and to a 7 percent return on total
capital account.
Net addition to profits. During 1935 all insured commercial banks
wrote off losses amounting to about $667 million. Recoveries on assets
previously written off and profits on sales of securities amounting to $432
million, together with net earnings from current operations, left the
banks net profits of $207 million. In 1934, when losses written off were
exceptionally large, the banks showed a deficit of $339 million. Net
profits in 1935 amounted to 3.3 percent on total capital account, or to
6 percent on the par value of capital stock, notes, and debentures.
Disposition o f net profits. Dividends declared were equivalent to
3.3 percent on total capital account, and to 6.2 percent on the par value
of capital stock, notes, and debentures.

EARNINGS OF INSURED COMMERCIAL BANKS

Cash dividends, including interest on capital notes and debentures,
approximately equalled net profits and amounted to $207 million, an
increase of about 10 percent over the amount of dividends paid in 1934.
Net earnings, recoveries and write-offs, and dividend payments together
had no appreciable net effect upon the book value of the banks’ total
capital account.
Table 14 shows the amounts of current earnings, recoveries and write­
offs, and the disposition of net profits in 1935, together with the ratios of
these items to total assets and to total capital account.
Earnings by class o f bank. In Table 15, earnings, expenses, and
disposition of profits of insured commercial banks in 1934 and 1935 are
shown for each class of bank.
Total earnings and expenses were smaller in relation to total assets in
1935 than in 1934 for each class of bank. In national banks and in State
banks members of the Federal Reserve System the reduction in total
earnings was greater than the reduction in expenses and the amount of
net earnings from current operations per $100 of total assets declined.
From 1934 to 1935 insured commercial banks not members of the
Federal Reserve System showed an increase in net earnings on total
assets and in the later year showed a higher rate of net earnings than did
banks members of the Federal Reserve System. In 1934 the rate for
banks not members of the Federal Reserve System was lower than that

for banks members of the System. In relation to total capital account
the rate of net earnings from current operations was highest in national
banks and lowest in insured banks not members of the Federal Reserve
System, due chiefly to the fact that the ratio of total capital account to
total assets was lowest in national banks and highest in insured banks
not members of the Federal Reserve System. After recoveries and
write-offs national banks and State banks members of the Federal Reserve
System showed a net profit while insured banks not members of the
Federal Reserve System showed a slight net deficit. Only national banks
as a group showed sufficient profits to cover dividends declared.
Earnings by size o f bank. Data regarding earnings in 1935 of
banks grouped by size are available for insured State banks, but not
for national banks. Figures of net earnings of these banks are shown
in Table 16.

In 1935, the rate of net earnings was higher in the small banks than in
the large banks; in 1934 the rate was lower in the small banks than in the
large banks. The table also shows that in 1935 net earnings on total
assets were higher in practically every size group of insured commercial
banks not members of the Federal Reserve System than in those of all
insured commercial State banks, which include banks both members and
not members of the Federal Reserve System. In 1934 the reverse was
true.

EARNINGS OF INSURED COMMERCIAL BANKS

Rates o f interest received and paid. Rates of interest received on
loans and on securities by insured commercial banks not members of
the Federal Reserve System were lower in 1935 than in 1934. Compiled
rates are shown in Table 17. The average rate of interest paid on time
deposits by these banks was reduced from about 2 ^ percent in 1934 to
about 2% percent in 1935.

Banks with net earnings compared with banks with net losses.
Of the insured commercial State banks operating throughout all of 1935,
8,080 reported net earnings and 407 net losses from current operations
during the year, before taking into account recoveries on assets previously
written off, profits on securities sold, and losses written off on depreciated
assets.
The banks reporting net losses from current operations showed higher
total earnings on each $100 of assets than did the banks reporting net
earnings. The portion of total earnings representing interest received on
loans was greater for banks showing net losses than for those with net
earnings, while income on securities was a more important source of
earnings for the latter group of banks than for those showing net losses.
Total expenses of current operations for banks reporting net losses were
almost twice as great for each $100 of total assets as was the case with
banks showing net earnings. Every classification of expenses of current
operations was higher in relation to total earnings for banks reporting
net losses than for banks reporting net earnings.
Recoveries and profits on securities sold bore about the same relation
to total assets for both groups of banks. Losses and depreciation of
assets, however, were substantially higher for banks reporting net losses
than for banks reporting net earnings. Significant figures are summarized
in Table 18.

MUTUAL SAVINGS BANKS

Changes in number and deposits of all mutual savings banks.1

On December 31,1935, there were 566 mutual savings banks operating in
the United States, a reduction of nine from the preceding year. Three
banks discontinued operations, seven were consolidated with other
mutual savings banks, and one bank previously operating under restric­
tions was authorized to resume regular operations.
Deposits of mutual savings banks amounted to $9,877 million at the
close of the year, as compared with $9,742 million at the beginning of the
year, an increase of $135 million or 1.4 percent.
Mutual savings banks insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance
Corporation. Under the temporary Federal deposit insurance plan, as

amended in 1934, the deposits of mutual savings banks were insured in a
separate fund called the Fund for Mutuals. Upon inception of the per­
manent plan, this fund and the fund for commercial banks were
consolidated.
1M utual savings banks are defined as banks w ithout capital stock transactin g a savings bank business,
the net earnings of w hich inure w holly to the benefit of their depositors after paym en t o f oblig ation s or
any advances by organizers.
The classification used in this discussion conform s with that ad op ted by
the Board o f G overn ors o f the Federal Reserve System except for one bank in California, classified by
the Board as a mutual savings bank, which is classified b y the Federal D eposit Insurance C orporation
as a com m ercial bank.




49

MUTUAL SAVINGS BANKS

At the beginning of 1935, 68 mutual savings banks with deposits of
$1,045 million were insured in the Fund for Mutuals. At the close of the
year, 56 mutual savings banks with deposits of $978 million were insured
under the permanent plan. Changes during the year in the number and
deposits of insured mutual savings banks are shown in Table 19.

Changes in assets o f insured m utual savings banks. Total assets
of the 56 mutual savings banks insured at the close of 1935 increased during
the year from $1,083 million to $1,108 million. Approximately half of the
assets of these banks are in real estate mortgages. During 1935 the
amount of such mortgages decreased $25 million, or by 4.8 percent. This
change was due largely to foreclosures or other acquisitions of property on
which mortgages were held; real estate owned, other than banking house,
increased by $13 million. Holdings of cash and of obligations of the
United States Government increased.
Table 20 gives a comparative condensed consolidated balance sheet of
the 56 mutual savings banks insured at the close of 1935, and shows the
changes in assets and liabilities which occurred during the year.
Earnings and expenses o f insured m utual savings hanks. Total
earnings of the 56 insured mutual savings banks amounted to $43 million
during 1935. Of this amount, $20 million or nearly half, was interest
received on real estate mortgages; and $17 million was interest aftd divi­
dends on securities. The average rate of return on real estate mortgages
was 4.2 percent in 1935, as compared with 4.4 percent in 1934, while the
average rate of earnings on securities dropped from 3.9 percent in 1934 to
3.7 percent in 1935.
Net profits, after payment of current operating expenses other than
interest or dividends on deposits and after allowances for losses and re­
coveries, amounted to $28 million. Of these profits, $22 million were paid
to depositors as interest or dividends, and $6 million were added to capital
account.

Total capital account of insured m utual savings banks. Mutual
savings banks have no capital stock. However, these banks maintain
surplus and reserve accounts, built up chiefly of undistributed earnings.

The total capital account of the 56 mutual savings banks insured at the
close of the year increased during 1935 by $7 million or 6 percent. Six
million dollars were obtained from net profits not distributed to depositors,
and $1 million from the Reconstruction Finance Corporation. Total cap­
ital funds, at the close of 1935, amounted to $126 million, which is 11 per­
cent of total assets and 13 percent of deposits. This proportion of capital
funds to total assets and to deposits is approximately the same as in the
case of commercial banks.
At the close of 1935 the Reconstruction Finance Corporation held
capital notes and debentures of 25 insured mutual savings banks amount­
ing to $14 million, or 11 percent of the total capital account of all mutua]
savings banks insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation.










PART THREE
RESEARCH REPORTS




MEMBERSHIP OF THE TEMPORARY FEDERAL DEPOSIT
INSURANCE FUNDS

The inauguration of the temporary Federal deposit insurance funds, and
their operations during 1934 are discussed in detail in the Annual Report of
the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation for 1934. The termination of
these funds is discussed elsewhere in this report.1 The following discus­
sion summarizes briefly the membership of these funds for the entire
period of their existence.
Establishment o f the Temporary Federal Deposit Insurance
Fund. The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation was established by
the Banking Act of 1933 as a permanent agency for the insurance of bank
deposits. That Act was drafted immediately following the banking
crisis of that year. It was known that many banks could not at that time
meet the tests which should be established for permanent insurance. It
was desired, however, immediately to restore complete confidence of the
public in the safety of funds on deposit in banks.
Under these conditions provision was made for the establishment of a
temporary insurance fund to be put into effect as soon as possible and to
remain in operation during the period necessary for the establishment of
permanent insurance. The temporary fund was to go into effect January
1, 1934, or at such earlier date as the President of the United States might
direct by proclamation, and the permanent plan was to go into effect
July 1, 1934. The President did not use his power to advance the date of
opening of the temporary fund and the temporary plan went into effect
January 1, 1934.
All banks which were members of the Federal Reserve System and
which had been licensed by the Secretary of the Treasury under the Exective Order of the President issued March 10,1933, were required to become
insured in the Temporary Federal Deposit Insurance Fund. Any State
bank not a member of the Federal Reserve System, including any such
bank in the District of Columbia, was authorized to become insured in
this Fund upon meeting four conditions: (1) certification to the Federal
Deposit Insurance Corporation by the appropriate banking authority
that the bank was in solvent condition; (2) examination and approval
by the Corporation; (3) agreement to comply with the requirements of
the deposit insurance law; and (4) payment of the assessment required.
The deposits of each bank insured in the Temporary Federal Deposit
Insurance Fund were, in the event of closing on account of inability to
meet deposit liabilities, insured to a maximum of $2,500 on account of the
net approved claim of the owner of any deposit. This insurance was
made applicable only to deposits made available since March 10, 1933, for
withdrawal in the usual course of the banking business.

To meet the cost of this insurance, each insured bank was assessed onehalf of 1 percent of the amount of deposits eligible for insurance, as re­
ported on a certified statement submitted at the time of admission. Onehalf of this assessment was payable at the time of admission, the other
half upon call by the Board of Directors of the Corporation. The Corp­
oration was also authorized to levy an additional assessment of one-half
of 1 percent, if necessary to meet its obligations on account of banks
closing during the period of operation of the temporary insurance plan.
Provision was also made for the refund to banks insured in the Tem­
porary Federal Deposit Insurance Fund, on such basis as the Corporation
found to be equitable, of the estimated balance remaining in the Fund on
July 1, 1934, after providing for all liabilities of the Fund, including its
expenses of operation and estimated losses in suspended insured banks.1
Extension and revision of insurance under the temporary plan.

By an Act approved June 16, 1934, Congress extended the period of in­
surance under the temporary plan to July 1, 1935, and amended the plan
in several respects.2 On June 28,1935, the operation of the temporary plan
was again extended for another two months, to cover the period until the
enactment of the Banking Act of 1935, then under consideration.3
The amendment of June 16, 1934, to the temporary insurance plan in­
creased the insurance coverage from $2,500 to $5,000 for each depositor,
except in the case of mutual savings banks, which were permitted to select
either of these two limits. Insured banks were required to file another
certified statement of deposits as of October 1, 1934, and to adjust their
assessments in accordance with any increase in the amount of deposits
eligible for insurance.
The Corporation, in the discretion of the Board of Directors, was auth­
orized to establish a separate fund for mutual savings banks. It was
provided that, in case such a fund were established, the Temporary
Federal Deposit Insurance Fund should not be subject to the liabilities of
the Fund for Mutuals, and that the Fund for Mutuals should not be sub­
ject to the liabilities of the Temporary Federal Deposit Insurance Fund.
A separate Fund for Mutuals was established by the Board of Directors on
July 14, 1934, effective July 1, 1934.
Banks in the territories of Alaska, Hawaii, Puerto Rico, and the Virgin
Islands of the United States were made eligible for insurance. Insured
banks not members of the Federal Reserve System were permitted to
lrrhe text o f the original deposit insurance law enacted June 16, 1933, is given in the Annual Report
of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, 1934, pages 117-27. The provisions regarding the
T em porary Federal D eposit Insurance Fund are contained in subsection (y ), pages 126-27, o f that R e p o rt.

Report of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, 1934, pages 128-30.

terminate their insurance in the Temporary Federal Deposit Insurance
Fund on July 1, 1934, provided such banks gave notice to the Corporation
at least ten days prior to July 1, 1934, of their intention to withdraw on
that date. Provision was made for the refunding to such withdrawing
banks of their proportionate share in the balance in the Fund on that date.
Insured banks were required to display a sign or signs to the effect that
their deposits were insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation.
Termination of the temporary Federal deposit insurance funds.

The Banking Act of 1935, which became effective August 23, 1935, pro­
vided for the immediate termination of the temporary plan of insurance of
bank deposits. By this Act the Temporary Federal Deposit Insurance
Fund and the Fund for Mutuals were terminated, and all banks insured in
either of these funds, with the exceptions noted below, became insured
under the revised permanent insurance plan.1 Any bank not a member
of the Federal Reserve System which had failed to file a certified statement
of its deposits on October 1,1934, and to pay the required assessment, and
any bank which had permanently discontinued banking operations prior
to the effective date of the Banking Act of 1935 ceased to be an insured
bank on August 31,1935. Any insured bank not a member of the Federal
Reserve System was permitted to withdraw from insurance if within 30
days after the effective date of the Act it notified the Corporation of its
election not to continue as an insured bank. The deposits of banks with­
drawing under this provision were insured for 50 days beyond the effective
date of the Banking Act of 1935, or until October 12,1935.
Banks insured at the opening of the Temporary Federal Deposit
Insurance Fund. The Temporary Federal Deposit Insurance Fund was

opened on January 1, 1934, with 13,201 banks insured or approved for in­
surance therein. Of these banks, 6,009 were members of the Federal
Reserve System in operation and licensed under the provisions of the
Executive Order of the President, issued March 10, 1933, and 7,192 were
State banks not members of the Federal Reserve System.2 Remittances
had not been received on January 1, 1934, from about 460 of the banks not
members of the Federal Reserve System then approved for insurance,
and these banks became insured later.3

with those not members of the Federal Reserve System which were ap­

percent of all commercial banks, and 36 percent of the mutual savings
banks, licensed under the Executive Order of March 10, 1933. About
1,600 licensed commercial banks and 363 mutual savings banks had not
made application for admission to insurance, or had not been approved
for insurance by the Corporation.
Banks admitted to insurance, January 2, 1934, to close of tem­

automatically admitted to insurance when authorized by the Comptroller
of the Currency to begin operations, and 45 State banks automatically

System. The remaining 1,192 were banks not members of the Federal
Reserve System which were examined and approved for insurance by the
Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation.

MEMBERSHIP OF THE TEMPORARY FUNDS

Suspensions o f banks insured in the temporary funds. During
the period of operation of the temporary funds 25 insured banks suspended.
One of these was reopened with no payments made to depositors by the
Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation. The deposits in the 24 suspend­
ed banks placed in receivership amounted to $5,500,000, of which 25
percent were protected by offset, security or preferment, and an additional
68 percent were protected by insurance. Only 7 percent of the de­
posits were uninsured, unsecured, not preferred,or not subject to offset and
thus only protected by general claims against the assets of the banks.
The total number of depositors in these 24 banks was 34,601, of whom
all but 63 were fully protected by insurance, or by offset, security, or pre­
ferment. By the end of December 31, 1935, the claims of 80 percent of
these depositors had been paid or settled.
The deposits paid by the Corporation up toDecember 31,1935, amounted
to $3,500,000. An additional $230,000 due depositors from the Corpora­
tion was unpaid on account of failure of the depositors to file or prove
their claims.
Further details regarding the deposits and depositors in these banks
are given in Table 26.

By December 31, 1935, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation had
received $528,533 from the receivers or liquidators of these banks. It is
expected that about 65 percent of the amount paid by the Corporation
to insured depositors will be recovered upon completion of liquidation
of the assets of the suspended banks.

Amount of deposits insured at the beginning and at the close of
the temporary insurance funds. Precise information is not available

as to the volume of deposits protected by insurance either at the beginning
or at the close of the temporary insurance funds. It is estimated,
however, that on January 1, 1934, insured deposits in commercial banks
amounted approximately to $11 billion and uninsured deposits in insured
banks to $20 billion. It is estimated that at the close of the temporary
funds insured deposits amounted approximately to $17 billion and
uninsured deposits in insured commercial banks to $24 billion. About
half of the growth in insured deposits resulted from the change in coverage
from $2,500 to $5,000 for each depositor and from the admission of banks
to insurance. The other half was chiefly the result of the growth in the
total volume of deposits. The growth in uninsured deposits was almost
wholly due to the growth in the total volume of deposits.

President, by and with the advice and consent of the Senate. One of the appointive
members shall be the chairman of the board of directors of the Corporation and not

and for two years thereafter to hold any office, position, or employment in any insured
bank. The appointive members of the board of directors shall be ineligible during
the time they are in office and for two years thereafter to hold any office, position,
or employment in any insured bank, except that this restriction shall not apply to
any appointive member who has served the full term for which he was appointed.
N o member of the board of directors shall be an officer or director of any bank,
banking institution, trust company, or Federal Reserve bank or hold stock in any
bank, banking institution, or trust company; and before entering upon his duties
as a member of the board of directors he shall certify under oath that he has complied
with this requirement and such certification shall be filed with the secretary of the

preceding sentences until the expiration of his present term of office.

retary of the Treasury shall be and continue to be, without application or approval,

After the effective date, every national member bank which is authorized to
commence or resume the business of banking, and every State bank which is con­
verted into a national member bank or which becomes a member of the Federal
Reserve System, shall be an insured bank from the time it is authorized to commence
or resume business or becomes a member of the Federal Reserve System. The
certificate herein prescribed shall be issued to the Corporation by the Comptroller
of the Currency in the case of such national member bank, or by the Board of Gov­
ernors of the Federal Reserve System in the case of such State member bank:
Provided, That in the case of an insured bank which is admitted to membership in

August 31, 1935: Provided further, That no bank admitted to the said Temporary
Federal Deposit Insurance Fund or the Fund For Mutuals prior to the effective

upon application by the bank and certification by the Comptroller of the Currency
in the manner prescribed in subsection (e) of this section, and any State nonmember
bank, upon application to and examination by the Corporation and approval by
the board of directors, may become an insured bank. Before approving the applica­
tion of any such State nonmember bank, the board of directors shall give considera­
tion to the factors enumerated in subsection (g) of this section and shall determine,
upon the basis of a thorough examination of such bank, that its assets in excess of
its capital requirements are adequate to enable it to meet all its liabilities to de­
positors and other creditors as shown by the books of the bank.
Factors and qualifications for insurance to be considered in the case of new
applications
(g) The factors to be enumerated in the certificate required under subsection (e)
and to be considered by the board of directors under subsection (f) shall be the
following: The financial history and condition of the bank, the adequacy of its

FEDERAL DEPOSIT INSURANCE CORPORATION

Payment of assessments
(h)
(1) The assessment rate shall be one-twelfth of 1 per centum per annum.
The semiannual assessment for each insured bank shall be in the amount of the
product of one-half the annual assessment rate multiplied by an assessment base
which shall be the average for six months of the differences at the end of each
calendar day between the total amount of liability of the bank for deposits (according
to the definition of the term “ deposit” in and pursuant to paragraph (12) of sub­
section (c) of this section, without any deduction for indebtedness of depositors)
and the total of such uncollected items as are included in such deposits and credited
subject to final payment: Provided, however, That the daily total of such uncollected
items shall be determined according to regulations prescribed by the board of direc­
tors upon a consideration of the factors of general usage and ordinary time of avail­
ability, and for the purposes of such deduction no item shall be regarded as un­
collected for longer periods than those prescribed by such regulations.
Each
insured bank shall, as a condition to the right to deduct any specific uncollected
item in determining its assessment base, maintain such records as will readily permit
verification of the correctness of the particular deduction claimed. The certified
statements required to be filed with the Corporation under paragraphs (2), (3), and
(4) of this subsection shall be in such form and set forth such supporting information
as the board of directors shall prescribe. The assessment payments required from
insured banks under paragraphs (2), (3), and (4) of this subsection shall be made in
such manner and at such time or times as the board of directors shall prescribe,
provided the time or times so prescribed shall not be later than sixty days after
filing the certified statement setting forth the amount of the assessment. In the
event that a separate Fund For Mutuals is established as provided in subsection
(1), the board of directors from time to time may fix a lower assessment rate operative
for such period as the board may determine which shall be applicable to insured
mutual savings banks only, and the remainder of this paragraph shall not be applic­
able to such banks.
(2) On or before the 15th day of July of each year, each insured bank shall file
with the Corporation a certified statement under oath showing for the six months
ending on the preceding June 30 the amount of the assessment base and the amount
of the semiannual assessment due to the Corporation, determined in accordance
with paragraph (1) of this subsection. Each insured bank shall pay to the Cor­
poration the amount of the semiannual assessment it is required to certify. On or
before the 15th day of January of each year after 1936 each insured bank shall file
with the Corporation a similar certified statement for the six months ending on the
preceding December 31 and shall pay to the Corporation the amount of the semi­
annual assessment it is required to certify.
(3) Each bank which becomes an insured bank according to the provisions of
subsection (e) or (f) of this section shall, on or before the 15th day of November
1935, file with the Corporation a certified statement under oath showing the amount
of the assessment due to the Corporation for the period ending December 31, 1935,
which shall be an amount equal to the product of one-third the annual assessment
rate multiplied by the assessment base determined in accordance with paragraph
(1) of this subsection, except that the assessment base shall be the average for the
31 days in the month of October 1935, and payment shall be made to the Corpora­
tion of the amount of the assessment so required to be certified. Each such bank
shall, on or before the 15th day of January 1936, file with the Corporation a certified
statement under oath showing the amount of the semiannual assessment due to the
Corporation for the period ending June 30, 1936, which shall be an amount equal
to the product of one-half the annual assessment rate multiplied by the assessment
base determined in accordance with paragraph (1) of this subsection, except that




REVISED DEPOSIT INSURANCE LAW

73

the assessment base shall be the average for the days of the months of October,
November and December of 1935, and payment shall be made to the Corporation
of the amount of the assessment so required to be certified.
(4) Each bank which becomes an insured bank after the effective date shall be
relieved from complying with the provisions of paragraph (2) of this subsection
until it has operated as an insured bank for a full semi-annual period ending on
June 30 or December 31 as the case may be. Each such bank, on or before the
forty-fifth day after its first day of operation as an insured bank, shall file with the
Corporation its first certified statement which shall be under oath and shall show
the amount of the assessment base determined in accordance with paragraph (1)
of this subsection, except that the assessment base shall be the average for the first
thirty-one calendar days it operates as an insured bank. Each such certified state­
ment shall also show as the amount of the first assessment due to the Corporation
the pro-rated portion (for the period between its first day of operation as an insured
bank and the next succeeding last day of June or December, as the case may be)
of an amount equal to the product of one-half the annual assessment rate multiplied
by the base required to be set forth on its first certified statement. Each bank which
becomes an insured bank after the effective date which has not operated as an insured
bank for a full semiannual period ending on June 30 or December 31, as the case
may be, shall, on or before the 15th day of the first month thereafter (except that
banks becoming insured in June or December shall have thirty-one additional days)
file with the Corporation its second certified statement under oath showing the
amount of the assessment base and the amount of the semiannual assessment due
to the Corporation. Such assessment base and amount shall be determined in
accordance with paragraph (1) of this subsection, except that if the bank became
an insured bank in the month of December or June the assessment base shall be the
average for the first thirty-one calendar days it operates as an insured bank, and
except that if it became an insured bank in any other month than December or June
the assessment base shall be the average for the days between its first day of opera­
tion as an insured bank and the next succeeding last day of June or December, as
the case may be. Each bank required to file a certified statement under this par­
agraph shall pay to the Corporation the amount of the assessment the bank is
required to certify.
(5) Each bank which shall be and continue without application or approval an
insured bank in accordance with the provisions of subsection (e) or (f) of this section,
shall, in lieu of all right to refund [except as authorized in paragraph (3) of sub­
section (i)], be credited with any balance to which such bank shall become entitled
upon the termination of the said Temporary Federal Deposit Insurance Fund or
the Fund For Mutuals. The credit shall be applied by the Corporation toward the
payment of the assessment next becoming due from such bank and upon succeeding
assessments until the credit is exhausted.
(6) Any insured bank which fails to file any certified statement required to be
filed by it in connection with determining the amount of any assessment payable
by the bank to the Corporation may be compelled to file such statement by mand­
atory injunction or other appropriate remedy in a suit brought for such purpose
by the Corporation against the bank and any officer or officers thereof in any court
of the United States of competent jurisdiction in the district or territory in which
such bank is located.
(7) The Corporation, in a suit brought at law or in equity in any court of com­
petent jurisdiction, shall be entitled to recover from any insured bank the amount of
any unpaid assessment lawfully payable by such insured bank to the Corporation,
whether or not such bank shall have filed any such certified statement and whether
or not suit shall have been brought to compel the bank to file any such statement.




74

FEDERAL DEPOSIT INSURANCE CORPORATION

(8) Should any national member bank or any insured national nonmember bank
fail to file any certified statement required to be filed by such bank under any
provision of this subsection, or fail to pay any assessment required to be paid by
such bank under any provision of this section, and should the bank not correct such
failure within thirty days after written notice has been given by the Corporation to
an officer of the bank, citing this paragraph, and stating that the bank has failed
to file or pay as required by law, all the rights, privileges, and franchises of the bank
granted to it under the National Bank Act or under the provisions of this Act, as
amended, shall be thereby forfeited. Whether or not the penalty provided in this
paragraph has been incurred shall be determined and adjudged in the manner pro­
vided in the sixth paragraph of section 2 of this Act, as amended. The remedies
provided in this paragraph and in the two preceding paragraphs shall not be con­
strued as limiting any other remedies against any insured bank, but shall be in
addition thereto.
(9) Trust funds held by an insured bank in a fiduciary capacity whether held in
its trust or deposited in any other department or in another bank shall be insured
in an amount not to exceed $5,000 for each trust estate, and when deposited by the
fiduciary bank in another insured bank such trust funds shall be similarly insured
to the fiduciary bank according to the trust estates represented. Notwithstanding
any other provision of this section, such insurance shall be separate from and ad­
ditional to that covering other deposits of the owners of such trust funds or the
beneficiaries of such trust estates: Provided, That where the fiduciary bank deposits
any of such trust funds in other insured banks, the amount so held by other insured
banks on deposit shall not for the purpose of any certified statement required under
paragraph (2), (3), or (4) of this subsection be considered to be a deposit liability
of the fiduciary bank, but shall be considered to be a deposit liability of the bank in
which such funds are so deposited by such fiduciary bank. The board of directors
shall have power by regulation to prescribe the manner of reporting and of depositing
such trust funds.
Termination of insured bank status
(i)
(1) Any insured bank (except a national member bank or State member bank)
may, upon not less than ninety days' written notice to the Corporation, and to the
Reconstruction Finance Corporation if it owns or holds as pledgee any preferred
stock, capital notes, or debentures of such bank, terminate its status as an insured
bank. Whenever the board of directors shall find that an insured bank or its
directors or trustees have continued unsafe or unsound practices in conducting the
business of such bank, or have knowingly or negligently permitted any of its officers
or agents to violate any provision of any law or regulation to which the insured
bank is subject, the board of directors shall first give to the Comptroller of the
Currency in the case of a national bank or a District bank, to the authority having
supervision of the bank in the case of a State bank, or to the Board of Governors
of the Federal Reserve System in the case of a State member bank, a statement with
respect to such practices or violations for the purpose of securing the correction
thereof. Unless such correction shall be made within one hundred and twenty days
or such shorter period of time as the Comptroller of the Currency, the State author­
ity, or Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, as the case may be, shall
require, the board of directors, if it shall determine to proceed further, shall give to
the bank not less than thirty days' written notice of intention to terminate the
status of the bank as an insured bank, and shall fix a time and place for a hearing
before the board of directors or before a person designated by it to conduct such
hearing, at which evidence may be produced, and upon such evidence the board of
directors shall make written findings which shall be conclusive. Unless the bank
shall appear at the hearing by a duly authorized representative, it shall be deemed




REVISED DEPOSIT INSURANCE LAW

75

to have consented to the termination of its status as an insured bank. If the board
of directors shall find that any violation specified in such notice has been established
the board of directors may order that the insured status of the bank be terminated
on a date subsequent to such finding and to the expiration of the time specified in
such notice of intention. The Corporation may publish notice of such termination
and the bank shall give notice of such termination to each of its depositors at his
last address of record on the books of the bank, in such manner and at such time as
the board of directors may find to be necessary and may order for the protection of
depositors. After the termination of the insured status of any bank under the
provisions of this paragraph, the insured deposits of each depositor in the bank on
the date of such termination, less all subsequent withdrawals from any deposits of
such depositor, shall continue for a period of two years to be insured, and the bank
shall continue to pay to the Corporation assessments as in the case of an insured
bank during such period. No additions to any such deposits and no new deposits
in such bank made after the date of such termination shall be insured by the Corpor­
ation, and the bank shall not advertise or hold itself out as having insured deposits
unless in the same connection it shall also state with equal prominence that such
additions to deposits and new deposits made after such date are not so insured.
Such bank shall, in all other respects, be subject to the duties and obligations of
an insured bank for the period of two years from the date of such termination, and
in the event that such bank shall be closed on account of inability to meet the de­
mands of its depositors within such period of two years, the Corporation shall have
the same powers and rights with respect to such bank as in case of an insured bank.
(2) Whenever the insured status of a State member bank shall be terminated by
action of the board of directors, the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve
System shall terminate its membership in the Federal Reserve System in accordance
with the provisions of section 9 of this Act, and whenever the insured status of a
national member bank shall be so terminated the Comptroller of the Currency shall
appoint a receiver for the bank, which shall be the Corporation whenever the bank
shall be unable to meet the demands of its depositors. Whenever a member bank
shall cease to be a member of the Federal Reserve System, its status as an insured
bank shall, without notice or other action by the board of directors, terminate on
the date the bank shall cease to be a member of the Federal Reserve System, with
like effect as if its insured status had been terminated on said date by the board of
directors after proceedings under paragraph (1) of this subsection.
(3) If any nonmember bank which becomes an insured bank under the provisions
of paragraph (1) of subsection (f) of this section shall elect, within thirty days after
the effective date, not to continue as an insured bank, and shall within such period
give written notice to the Corporation of its election, in accordance with regulations
to be prescribed by the board of directors, and to the Reconstruction Finance Cor­
poration if it owns or holds as pledgee any preferred stock, capital notes, or deben­
tures of such bank, it shall cease to be an insured bank and cease to be subject to
the provisions of this section and the rights of the bank (including its right to any
refund) shall be as provided by law existing prior to the effective date. The board
of directors shall cause notice of termination of insurance to be given to the depositors
of such bank by publication or otherwise as the board of directors may determine,
and the deposits in such bank shall continue to be insured for twenty days beyond
such thirty day period.
(4) Whenever the liabilities of an insured bank for deposits shall have been
assumed by another insured bank or banks, the insured status of the bank whose
liabilities are so assumed shall terminate on the date of receipt by the Corporation of
satisfactory evidence of such assumption with like effect as if its insured status
had been terminated on said date by the board of directors after proceedings under




76

FEDERAL DEPOSIT INSURANCE CORPORATION

paragraph (1) of this subsection: Provided, That if the bank whose liabilities are
so assumed gives to its depositors notice of such assumption within thirty days after
such assumption takes effect, by publication or by any reasonable means, in ac­
cordance with regulations to be prescribed by the board of directors, the insurance
of its deposits shall terminate at the end of six months from the date such assump­
tion takes effect, and such bank shall thereupon be relieved of all future obligations
to the Corporation, including the obligation to pay future assessments.
Powers of the Corporation
(j) Upon the date of enactment of the Banking Act of 1933, the Corporation
shall become a body corporate and as such shall have power—
First. To adopt and use a corporate seal.
Second. To have succession until dissolved by an Act of Congress.
Third. To make contracts.
Fourth. To sue and be sued, complain and defend, in any court of law or equity,
State or Federal. All suits of a civil nature at common law or in equity to which the
Corporation shall be a party shall be deemed to arise under the laws of the United
States: Provided, That any such suit to which the Corporation is a party in its
capacity as receiver of a State bank and which involves only the rights or obliga­
tions of depositors, creditors, stockholders, and such State bank under State law
shall not be deemed to arise under the laws of the United States. N o attachment
or execution shall be issued against the Corporation or its property before final
judgment in any suit, action, or proceeding in any State, county, municipal, or
United States court. The board of directors shall designate an agent upon whom
service of process may be made in any State, Territory, or jurisdiction in which
any insured bank is located.
Fifth. To appoint by its board of directors such officers and employees as are
not otherwise provided for in this section, to define their duties, fix their compensa­
tion, require bonds of them and fix the penalty thereof, and to dismiss at pleasure
such officers or employees. Nothing in this or any other Act shall be construed
to prevent the appointment and compensation as an officer or employee of the
Corporation of any officer or employee of the United States in any board, commis­
sion, independent establishment, or executive department thereof.
Sixth. To prescribe by its board of directors, bylaws not inconsistent with law,
regulating the manner in which its general business may be conducted, and the
privileges granted to it by law may be exercised and enjoyed.
Seventh. To exercise by its board of directors, or duly authorized officers or
agents, all powers specifically granted by the provisions of this section and such
incidental powers as shall be necessary to carry out the powers so granted.
Eighth. To make examinations of and to require information and reports from
banks, as provided in this section.
Ninth. To act as receiver.
Tenth. To prescribe by its board of directors such rules and regulations as it may
deem necessary to carry out the provisions of this section.
Administrative matters
(k) (1) The board of directors shall administer the affairs of the Corporation
fairly and impartially and without discrimination. The board of directors of the
Corporation shall determine and prescribe the manner in which its obligations
shall be incurred and its expenses allowed and paid. The Corporation shall be
entitled to the free use of the United States mails in the same manner as the executive
departments of the Government. The Corporation with the consent of any Federal




REVISED DEPOSIT INSURANCE LAW

77

Reserve bank or of any board, commission, independent establishment, or executive
department of the Government, including any field service thereof, may avail itself
of the use of information, services, and facilities thereof in carrying out the provi­
sions of this section.
(2) The board of directors shall appoint examiners who shall have power, on
behalf of the Corporation, to examine any insured State nonmember bank (except
a District bank), any State nonmember bank making application to become an
insured bank, and any closed insured bank, whenever in the judgment of the board
of directors an examination of the bank is necessary. Such examiners shall have
like power to examine, with the written consent of the Comptroller of the Currency,
any national bank or District bank, and, with the written consent of the Board of
Governors of the Federal Reserve System, any State member bank. Each such
examiner shall have power to make a thorough examination of all the affairs of the
bank and in doing so he shall have power to administer oaths and to examine and take
and preserve the testimony of any of the officers and agents thereof, and shall make
a full and detailed report of the condition of the bank to the Corporation. The
board of directors in like manner shall appoint claim agents who shall have power
to investigate and examine all claims for insured deposits and transferred deposits.
Each claim agent shall have power to administer oaths and to examine under oath
and take and preserve the testimony of any persons relating to such claims. The
provisions of sections 184 to 186 (both inclusive) of the Revised Statutes (U. S. C.,
title 5, secs. 94 to 96) are hereby extended to examinations and investigations
authorized by this paragraph.
(3) Each insured State nonmember bank (except a District bank) shall make to
to the Corporation reports of condition in such form and at such times as the board
of directors may require. The board of directors may require such reports to be
published in such manner, not inconsistent with any applicable law, as it may direct.
Every such bank which fails to make or publish any such report within such time,
not less than five days, as the board of directors may require, shall be subject to a
penalty of not more than $100 for each day of such failure recoverable by the
Corporation for its use.
(4) The Corporation shall have access to reports of examinations made by, and
reports of condition made to, the Comptroller of the Currency or any Federal
Reserve bank, may accept any report made by or to any commission, board, or
authority having supervision of a State nonmember bank (except a District bank),
and may furnish to the Comptroller of the Currency, to any Federal Reserve bank,
and to any such commission, board, or authority, reports of examinations made on
behalf of, and reports of condition made to, the Corporation.
Insurance of deposits— liquidation of insured banks
(1)
(1) The Temporary Federal Deposit Insurance Fund and the Fund For
Mutuals heretofore created pursuant to the provisions of this section are hereby
consolidated into a Permanent Insurance Fund for insuring deposits, and the assets
therein shall be held by the Corporation for the uses and purposes of the Corpora­
tion: Provided, That the obligations to and rights of the Corporation, depositors,
banks, and other persons arising out of any event or transaction prior to the effective
date shall remain unimpaired. On and after the effective date, the Corporation
shall insure the deposits of all insured banks as provided in this section: Provided,
That the insurance shall apply only to deposits of insured banks which have been
made available since March 10, 1933, for withdrawal in the usual course of the
banking business: Provided further, That if any insured bank shall, without the
consent of the Corporation, release or modify restrictions on or deferments of de­
posits which had not been made available for withdrawal in the usual course of the
banking business on or before the effective date, such deposits shall not be insured.




78

FEDERAL DEPOSIT INSURANCE CORPORATION

The maximum amount of the insured deposit of any depositor shall be $5,000.
The Corporation, in the discretion of the board of directors, may open on its books
solely for the benefit of mutual savings banks and depositors therein a separate
Fund For Mutuals. If such Fund is opened, all assessments upon mutual savings
banks shall be paid into such Fund and the Permanent Insurance Fund of the
Corporation shall cease to be liable for insurance losses sustained in mutual savings
banks: Provided, That the capital assets of the Corporation shall be so liable and
all expenses of operation of the Corporation shall be allocated between such Funds
on an equitable basis.
(2) For the purposes of this section, an insured bank shall be deemed to have
been closed on account of inability to meet the demands of its depositors in any case
in which it has been closed for the purpose of liquidation without adequate provision
being made for payment of its depositors.
(3) Notwithstanding any other provision of law, whenever any insured national
bank or insured District bank shall have been closed by action of its board of
directors, or by the Comptroller of the Currency, as the case may be, on account
of inability to meet the demands of its depositors, the Comptroller of the Currency
shall appoint the Corporation receiver for such closed bank, and no other person
shall be appointed as receiver of such closed bank.
(4) It shall be the duty of the Corporation as such receiver to realize upon the
assets of such closed bank, having due regard to the condition of credit in the locality;
to enforce the individual liability of the stockholders and directors thereof; and to
wind up the affairs of such closed bank in conformity with the provisions of law
relating to the liquidation of closed national banks, except as herein otherwise
provided. The Corporation shall retain for its own account such portion of the
amounts realized from such liquidation as it shall be entitled to receive on account of
its subrogation to the claims of depositors, and it shall pay to depositors and other
creditors the net amounts available for distribution to them. W ith respect to any
such closed bank, the Corporation as such receiver shall have all the rights, powers,
and privileges now possessed by or hereafter granted by law to a receiver of an
insolvent national bank.
(5) Whenever any insured State bank (except a District bank) shall have been
closed by action of its board of directors or by the authority having supervision
of such bank, as the case may be, on account of inability to meet the demands of
its depositors, the Corporation shall accept appointment as receiver thereof, if such
appointment is tendered by the authority having supervision of such bank and is
authorized or permitted by State law. W ith respect to any such insured State
bank, the Corporation as such receiver shall possess all the rights, powers, and
privileges granted by State law to a receiver of a State bank.
(6) Whenever an insured bank shall have been closed on account of inability
to meet the demands of its depositors, payment of the insured deposits in such bank
shall be made by the Corporation as soon as possible, subject to the provisions of
paragraph (7) of this subsection, either (A) by making available to each depositor
a transferred deposit in a new bank in the same community or in another insured
bank in an amount equal to the insured deposit of such depositor and subject to
withdrawal on demand, or (B) in such other manner as the board of directors may
prescribe: Provided, That the Corporation, in its discretion, may require proof
of claims to be filed before paying the insured deposits, and that in any case where
the Corporation is not satisfied as to the validity of a claim for an insured deposit,
it may require the final determination of a court of competent jurisdiction before
paying such claim.
(7) In the case of a closed national bank or District bank, the Corporation, upon
the payment of any depositor as provided in paragraph (6) of this subsection, shall




REVISED DEPOSIT INSURANCE LAW

79

be subrogated to all rights of the depositor against the closed bank to the extent of
such payment. In the case of any other closed insured bank, the Corporation shall
not make any payment to any depositor until the right of the Corporation to be
subrogated to the rights of such depositor on the same basis as provided in the case
of a closed national bank under this section shall have been recognized either by
express provision of State law, by allowance of claims by the authority having
supervision of such bank, by assignment of claims by depositors, or by any other
effective method. In the case of any closed insured bank, such subrogation shall
include the right on the part of the Corporation to receive the same dividends from
the proceeds of the assets of such closed bank and recoveries on account of stock­
holders’ liability as would have been payable to the depositor on a claim for the
insured deposit, but such depositor shall retain his claim for any uninsured portion
of his deposit: Provided, That the rights of depositors and other creditors of any
State bank shall be determined in accordance with the applicable provisions of
State law.
(8) As soon as possible after the closing of an insured bank, the Corporation, if it
finds that it is advisable and in the interest of the depositors of the closed bank or
the public, shall organize a new national bank to assume the insured deposits of such
closed bank and otherwise to perform temporarily the functions hereinafter provided
for. The new bank shall have its place of business in the same community as the
closed bank.
(9) The articles of association and the organization certificate of the new bank
shall be executed by representatives designated by the Corporation. N o capital
stock need be paid in by the Corporation. The new bank shall not have a board of
directors, but shall be managed by an executive officer appointed by the board of
directors of the Corporation who shall be subject to its directions. In all other
respects the new bank shall be organized in accordance with the then existing
provisions of law relating to the organization of national banking associations. The
new bank may, with the approval of the Corporation, accept new deposits which
shall be subject to withdrawal on demand and which, except where the new bank is
the only bank in the community, shall not exceed $5,000 from any depositor. The
new bank, without application to or approval by the Corporation, shall be an insured
bank and shall maintain on deposit with the Federal Reserve bank of its district
reserves in the amount required by law for member banks, but it shall not be required
to subscribe for stock of the Federal Reserve bank. Funds of the new bank shall be
kept on hand in cash, invested in obligations of the United States, or in obligations
guaranteed as to principal and interest by the United States, or deposited with the
Corporation, with a Federal Reserve bank, or, to the extent of the insurance cover­
age thereon, with an insured bank. The new bank, unless otherwise authorized by
the Comptroller of the Currency, shall transact no business except that authorized
by this section and as may be incidental to its organization. Notwithstanding any
other provision of law the new bank, its franchise, property, and income shall be
exempt from all taxation now or hereafter imposed by the United States, by any
Territory, dependency, or possession thereof, or by any State, county, municipality,
or local taxing authority.
(10) Upon the organization of a new bank, the Corporation shall promptly make
available to it an amount equal to the estimated insured deposits of such closed
bank plus the estimated amount of the expenses of operating the new bank, and
shall determine as soon as possible the amount due each depositor for his insured
deposit in the closed bank, and the total expenses of operation of the new bank.
Upon such determination, the amounts so estimated and made available shall be
adjusted to conform to the amounts so determined. Earnings of the new bank
shall be paid over or credited to the Corporation in such adjustment. If any new




80

FEDERAL DEPOSIT INSURANCE CORPORATION

bank, during the period it continues its status as such, sustains any losses with
respect to which it is not effectively protected except by reason of being an insured
bank, the Corporation shall furnish to it additional funds in the amount of such
losses. The new bank shall assume as transferred deposits the payment of the
insured deposits of such closed bank to each of its depositors. Of the amounts so
made available, the Corporation shall transfer to the new bank, in cash, such sums
as may be necessary to enable it to meet its expenses of operation and immediate
cash demands on such transferred deposits, and the remainder of such amounts
shall be subject to withdrawal by the new bank on demand.
(11) Whenever in the judgment of the board of directors it is desirable to do so,
the Corporation shall cause capital stock of the new bank to be offered for sale on
such terms and conditions as the board of directors shall deem advisable in an
amount sufficient, in the opinion of the board of directors, to make possible the con­
duct of the business of the new bank on a sound basis, but in no event less than that
required by section 5138 of the Revised Statutes, as amended (U. S. C., Supp.
V II, title 12, sec. 51), for the organization of a national bank in the place where
such new bank is located. The stockholders of the closed insured bank shall be
given the first opportunity to purchase any shares of common stock so offered.
Upon proof that an adequate amount of capital stock in the new bank has been
subscribed and paid for in cash, the Comptroller of the Currency shall require the
articles of association and the organization certificate to be amended to conform
to the requirements for the organization of a national bank, and thereafter, when
the requirements of law with respect to the organization of a national bank have
been complied with, he shall issue to the bank a certificate of authority to commence
business, and thereupon the bank shall cease to have the status of a new bank,
shall be managed by directors elected by its own shareholders and may exercise
all the powers granted by law, and it shall be subject to all the provisions of law
relating to national banks. Such bank shall thereafter be an insured national
bank, without certification to or approval by the Corporation.
(12) If the capital stock of the new bank is not offered for sale, or if an adequate
amount of capital for such new bank is not subscribed and paid for, the board of
directors may offer to transfer its business to any insured bank in the same com­
munity which will take over its assets, assume its liabilities, and pay to the Cor­
poration for such business such amount as the board of directors may deem adequate;
or the board of directors in its discretion may change the location of the new bank
to the office of the Corporation or to some other place or may at any time wind up
its affairs as herein provided. Unless the capital stock of the new bank is sold or
its assets are taken over and its liabilities are assumed by an insured bank as above
provided within two years from the date of its organization, the Corporation shall
wind up the affairs of such bank, after giving such notice, if any, as the Comptroller
of the Currency may require, and shall certify to the Comptroller of the Currency
the termination of the new bank. Thereafter the Corporation shall be liable for
the obligations of such bank and shall be the owner of its assets. The provisions
of sections 5220 and 5221 of the Revised Statutes (U. S. C., title 12, secs. 181 and
182) shall not apply to such new banks.
Rights of Corporation as receiver— liability for insured deposits
(m) (1) The Corporation as receiver of a closed national bank or District bank
shall not be required to furnish bond and shall have the right to appoint an agent
or agents to assist it in its duties as such receiver, and all fees, compensation, and
expenses of liquidation and administration thereof shall be fixed by the Corporation,
subject to the approval of the Comptroller of the Currency, and may be paid by
it out of funds coming into its possession as such receiver. The Comptroller of
the Currency is authorized and empowered to waive and relieve the Corporation




REVISED DEPOSIT INSURANCE LAW

81

from complying with any regulations of the Comptroller of the Currency with
respect to receiverships where in his discretion such action is deemed advisable
to simplify administration.
(2) Payment of an insured deposit to any person by the Corporation shall
discharge the Corporation, and payment of a transferred deposit to any person
by the new bank or by an insured bank in which a transferred deposit has been
made available shall discharge the Corporation and such new bank or other insured
bank, to the same extent that payment to such person by the closed bank would
have discharged it from liability for the insured deposit.
(3) Except as otherwise prescribed by the board of directors, neither the Cor­
poration nor such new bank or other insured bank shall be required to recognize
as the owner of any portion of a deposit appearing on the records of the closed
bank under a name other than that of the claimant, any person whose name or
interest as such owner is not disclosed on the records of such closed bank as part
owner of said deposit, if such recognition would increase the aggregate amount
of the insured deposits in such closed bank.
(4) The Corporation may withhold payment of such portion of the insured
deposit of any depositor in a closed bank as may be required to provide for the
payment of any liability of such depositor as a stockholder of the closed bank,
or of any liability of such depositor to the closed bank or its receiver, which is not
offset against a claim due from such bank, pending the determination and payment
of such liability by such depositor or any other person liable therefor.
(5) If, after the Corporation shall have given at least three months’ notice to
the depositor by mailing a copy thereof to his last known address appearing on
the records of the closed bank, any depositor in the closed bank shall fail to claim
his insured deposit from the Corporation within eighteen months after the appoint­
ment of the receiver for the closed bank, or shall fail within such period to claim
or arrange to continue the transferred deposit with the new bank or with the other
insured bank which assumes liability therefor, all rights of the depositor against the
Corporation with respect to the insured deposit, and against the new bank and such
other insured bank with respect to the transferred deposit, shall be barred, and all
rights of the depositor against the closed bank and its shareholders, or the receiver­
ship estate to which the Corporation may have become subrogated, shall thereupon
revert to the depositor. The amount of any transferred deposits not claimed
within such eighteen months’ period, shall be refunded to the Corporation.
Investment of funds of the Corporation
(n) (1) Money of the Corporation not otherwise employed shall be invested in
obligations of the Unt ed States or in obligations guaranteed as to principal and
interest by the United States, except that for temporary periods, in the discretion
of the board of directors, funds of the Corporation may be deposited in any Federal
Reserve bank or with the Treasurer of the United States. When designated for
that purpose by the Secretary of the Treasury, the Corporation shall be a depositary
of public moneys, except receipts from customs, under such regulations as may be
prescribed by the said Secretary, and may also be employed as a financial agent
of the Government. It shall perform all such reasonable duties as depositary of
public moneys and financial agent of the Government as may be required of it.
(2) Nothing contained in this section shall be construed to prevent the Corpora­
tion from making loans to national banks closed by action of the Comptroller
of the Currency, or by vote of their directors, or to State member banks closed
by action of the appropriate State authorities, or by vote of their directors, or from
entering into negotiations to secure the reopening of such banks.
(3) Receivers or liquidators of insured banks closed on account of inability to




82

FEDERAL DEPOSIT INSURANCE CORPORATION

meet the demands of their depositors shall be entitled to offer the assets of such
banks for sale to the Corporation or as security for loans from the Corporation,
upon receiving permission from the appropriate State authority in accordance
with express provisions of State law in the case of insured State banks, or from the
Comptroller of the Currency in the case of national banks or District banks. The
proceeds of every such sale or loan shall be utilized for the same purposes and in
the same manner as other funds realized from the liquidation of the assets of such
banks. The Comptroller of the Currency may, in his discretion, pay dividends
on proved claims at any time after the expiration of the period of advertisement
made pursuant to section 5235 of the Revised Statutes (U. S. C., title 12, sec. 193),
and no liability shall attach to the Comptroller of the Currency or to the receiver
of any national bank by reason of any such payment for failure to pay dividends
to a claimant whose claim is not proved at the time of any such payment. The
Corporation, in its discretion, may make loans on the security of or may purchase
and liquidate or sell any part of the assets of an insured bank which is now or may
hereafter be closed on account of inability to meet the demands of its depositors,
but in any case in which the Corporation is acting as receiver of a closed insured
bank, no such loan or purchase shall be made without the approval of a court of
competent jurisdiction.
(4)
Until July 1, 1936, whenever in the judgment of the board of directors such
action will reduce the risk or avert a threatened loss to the Corporation and will
facilitate a merger or consolidation of an insured bank with another insured bank,
or will facilitate the sale of the assets of an open or closed insured bank to and
assumption of its liabilities by another insured bank, the Corporation may, upon
such terms and conditions as it may determine, make loans secured in whole or
in part by assets of an open or closed insured bank, which loans may be in subordina­
tion to the rights of depositors and other creditors, or the Corporation may purchase
any such assets or may guarantee any other insured bank against loss by reason
of its assuming the liabilities and purchasing the assets of an open or closed insured
bank. Any insured national bank or District bank, or, with the approval of the
Comptroller of the Currency, any receiver thereof, is authorized to contract for
such sales or loans and to pledge any assets of the bank to secure such loans.
Obligations of the Corporation
(o)
(1) The Corporation is authorized and empowered to issue and to have
outstanding its notes, debentures, bonds, or other such obligations, in a par amount
aggregating not more than three times the amount received by the Corporation
in payment of its capital stock and in payment of the assessments upon insured
banks for the year 1936. The notes, debentures, bonds, and other such obligations
issued under this subsection shall be redeemable at the option of the Corporation
before maturity in such manner as may be stipulated in such obligations, and shall
bear such rate or rates of interest, and shall mature at such time or times, as may
be determined by the Corporation: Provided, That the Corporation may sell
on a discount basis short-term obligations payable at maturity without interest.
The notes, debentures, bonds, and other such obligations of the Corporation may
be secured by assets of the Corporation in such manner as shall be prescribed by
its board of directors. Such obligations may be offered for sale at such price or
prices as the Corporation may determine.
(2)
The Secretary of the Treasury, in his discretion, is authorized to purchase
any obligations of the Corporation to be issued hereunder, and for such purpose
the Secretary of the Treasury is authorized to use as a public-debt transaction the
proceeds of the sale of any securities hereafter issued under the Second Liberty
Bond Act, as amended, and the purposes for which securities may be issued under
the Second Liberty Bond Act, as amended, are extended to include such purchases:




REVISED DEPOSIT INSURANCE LAW

83

Provided, That if the Reconstruction Finance Corporation fails for any reason to
purchase any of the obligations of the Corporation as provided in subsection (b)
of section 5e of the Reconstruction Finance Corporation Act, as amended, the
Secretary of the Treasury is authorized and directed to purchase such obligations
in an amount equal to the amount of such obligations the Reconstruction Finance
Corporation so fails to purchase: Provided further, That the Secretary of the
Treasury is authorized and directed, whenever in the judgment of the board of
directors of the Corporation additional funds are required for insurance purposes,
to purchase obligations of the Corporation in an additional amount of not to exceed
$250,000,000 par value: Provided further, That the proceeds derived from the
purchase by the Secretary of the Treasury of any such obligations shall be used
by the Corporation solely in carrying out its functions with respect to such insurance.
The Secretary of the Treasury may, at any time, sell any of the obligations of the
Corporation acquired by him under this subsection. All redemptions, purchases,
and sales by the Secretary of the Treasury of the obligations of the Corporation
shall be treated as public-debt transactions of the United States.
Tax exemption provisions
(p) All notes, debentures, bonds, or other such obligations issued by the Cor­
poration shall be exempt, both as to principal and interest, from all taxation (except
estate and inheritance taxes) now or hereafter imposed by the United States, by
any Territory, dependency, or possession thereof, or by any State, county, mu­
nicipality, or local taxing authority. The Corporation, including its franchise, its
capital, reserves, and surplus, and its income, shall be exempt from all taxation
now or hereafter imposed by the United States, by any Territory, dependency, or
possession thereof, or by any State, county, municipality, or local taxing authority,
except that any real property of the Corporation shall be subject to State, Ter­
ritorial, county, municipal, or local taxation to the same extent according to its
value as other real property is taxed.
Forms of obligations
(q) In order that the Corporation may be supplied with such forms of notes,
debentures, bonds, or other such obligations as it may need for issuance under
this Act, the Secretary of the Treasury is authorized to prepare such forms as shall
be suitable and approved by the Corporation, to be held in the Treasury subject
to delivery, upon order of the Corporation. The engraved plates, dies, bed pieces,
and other material executed in connection therewith shall remain in the custody

deposits made in any noninsured bank, or transfer assets to any noninsured bank in
consideration of the assumption of liability for any portion of the deposits made in

board of directors shall by regulation prescribe different rates for such payment on
time and savings deposits having different maturities, or subject to different conditions
respecting withdrawal or repayment, or subject to different conditions by reason of
different locations, or according to the varying discount rates of member banks in

define what constitutes time and savings deposits in an insured nonmember bank.

deposit before its maturity except upon such conditions and in accordance with
such rules and regulations as may be prescribed by the board of directors, and from
waiving any requirement of notice before payment of any savings deposit except
as to all savings deposits having the same requirement. For each violation of any
provision of this paragraph or any lawful provision of such regulation* relating to

this section. No bank shall be discriminated against because its capital stock is
less than the amount required for eligibility for admission into the Federal Reserve
System.

depositor to a maximum less than the full amount shall be independent and separable

Subsection (c). N o insured bank is required to use the emblem or short title to
any extent whatsoever. However, if any insured bank desires to use the emblem
or short title, it may do so in any of its advertisements and on any of its bank supplies.

of this regulation will satisfy the mandatory requirements of that Section.
Any insured bank may, in addition to the requirements of this regulation, use any
proper advertising of insurance of its deposits. For example, as an addition to the
official advertising statement, any insured bank may, at its option, use the following
in any of its advertisements:
“ Deposits in this bank are insured with
maximum insurance of $5000 for each depositor”
Further, in the case of display signs in the banking offices which, under the provi­
sions of this regulation, are not required to include the official advertising statement,
any insured bank may use, for example, any of the following:

tion with $5000 maximum insurance for each depositor.”

complies with the provisions of Sections 2 and 3 of this regulation. N o penalty will
be imposed for any violation of the provisions of this regulation until the bank has
been given an opportunity to be heard before the Board of Directors of this Cor­
poration.

ship of the bank in the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation.”

M axim um Rate of Interest on Time and Savings Deposits
(a) Maxim um rate prescribed from time to time. Except in accordance with the
provisions of this regulation, no insured nonmember bank shall pay interest on any
time deposit or savings deposit in any manner, directly or indirectly, or by any
method, practice, or device whatsoever. No insured nonmember bank shall pay
interest on any time deposit or savings deposit at a rate in excess of such applicable
maximum rate as the Board of Directors of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corpora­
tion shall prescribe from time to time; and any rate or rates which may be so pre­
scribed by the Board will be set forth in supplements to this regulation, which will be
issued in advance of the date upon which such rate or rates become effective.
(b) Modification of contracts to conform to regulation. No certificate of deposit
or other contract shall be renewed or extended unless it be modified to conform to
the provisions of this regulation, and every insured nonmember bank shall take
such action as may be necessary, as soon as possible consistently with its con­
tractual obligations, to bring all of its outstanding certificates of deposit or other
contracts into conformity with the provisions of this regulation.
(c) Savings deposits received during first five days of m onth. An insured non­
member bank may pay interest on a savings deposit received during the first five
days of any calendar month at the applicable maximum rate prescribed pursuant to
the provisions of subsection (a) of this section, calculated from the first day of such
calendar month until such deposit is withdrawn or ceases to constitute a savings
deposit under the provisions of this regulation, whichever shall first occur.
(d) Continuance of time deposit status. A deposit which was a time deposit at
the date of deposit continues to be such until maturity although it has become pay­
able within 30 days, and interest at a rate not exceeding that prescribed pursuant to
the provisions of subsection (a) of this section may be paid until maturity upon such
deposit. A time deposit or a savings deposit, with respect to which notice of with­
drawal has been given, continues to be such until the expiration of the period of such
notice, and interest may be paid upon such deposit until the expiration of the period
of such notice at a rate not exceeding that prescribed pursuant to the provisions of
subsection (a) of this section. Interest at a rate not exceeding that prescribed pur­
suant to the provisions of subsection (a) of this section may be paid upon savings
deposits with respect to which notice of intended withdrawal has not actually been
required or given. No interest shall be paid by an insured nonmember bank on any
amount which by the terms of any certificate or other contract, or agreement, or
otherwise, the bank may be required to pay within 30 days from the date on which
such amount is deposited in such bank,8 except as to savings deposits with respect
to which the bank consistently continues to adhere to a practice existing prior to
January 23, 1936, of requiring notice of at least 15 days before permitting with­
drawal.
(e) No interest after maturity or expiration of notice. Exception. N o interest
shall be paid on any time or savings deposit for any period subsequent to maturity,
whether such deposit matures by its terms on a specific date or at the expiration of a
notice period pursuant to written notice actually given, except if a time certificate is
renewed within 10 days after maturity, the renewal certificate9 may draw interest
from the maturity date of the matured certificate.
S e c t io n 4

Paym ent of Time D eposits before M aturity
(a) Tim e deposits payable on a specified date. N o insured nonmember bank
shall pay any time deposit, which is payable on a specified date, before such specified
date, except as provided in subsection (d) of this section.

specified period before any withdrawal is made, until such required notice has been
given and the specified period thereafter has expired, except as provided in subsection
(d) of this section.
(d) Loans upon security of time deposits. An insured nonmember bank may
make a loan to the depositor upon the security of his time deposit, provided that the
rate of interest on such loan shall be not less than 2 percent per annum in excess of
the rate of interest on the time deposit.
Where a loan to the depositor upon the security of his time deposit upon terms
satisfactory to the insured nonmember bank and the depositor cannot be arranged,
and where the depositor signs a written statement to be kept in the files of the bank
that he is in need of money represented by the time deposit before the maturity
thereof, stating the definite amount needed, the time deposit may be paid before
maturity to the extent required to meet such need, but the depositor shall forfeit
accrued and unpaid interest for a period of not less than three months on the amount
withdrawn. When a portion of a time certificate of deposit is paid before maturity,
the certificate shall be cancelled and a new certificate shall be issued for the unpaid
portion of the deposit, with the same terms, rate, date, and maturity as the original
deposit.
S e c t io n 5
Notice of Withdrawal of Savings Deposits

(a) Requirements regarding notice. An insured nonmember bank shall observe
the requirements set forth as follows in requiring notice of intended withdrawal of any
savings deposit or part thereof or in permitting withdrawal without requiring such
notice:
(1) If an insured nonmember bank pay any amount or percentage of the savings
deposits of any depositor without requiring such notice, it shall, upon request,
and without requiring such notice, pay the same amount or percentage, of
the savings deposits of every other depositor, subject to the same notice
requirement, except if the bank changes its practice in accordance with
subsection (b) of this section.
(2) If an insured nonmember bank requires such notice before the payment of
any amount or percentage of the savings deposits of any depositor, it shall
require such notice before the payment of the same amount or percentage
of the savings deposits of any other depositor, subject to the same notice
requirement, except if the bank changes its practice in accordance with
subsection (b) of this section.
Even though the bank’s practice is to require notice, an insured nonmember bank
is not prevented by this regulation from paying during the next succeeding interest
period without requiring notice of withdrawal interest on a savings deposit which
has accrued during the preceding interest period.
(b) Requirements regarding change of practice. No insured nonmember bank
shall change its practice with respect to the requiring or not requiring of notice of
intended withdrawal of savings deposits, except after duly recorded action of its
board of directors or of its executive committee properly authorized, and no practice
in this respect shall be adopted which does not conform to the requirements of
paragraphs (1) and (2) of this section.
(c) Change of practice for purpose of discrimination. N o change in the practice
of an insured nonmember bank with respect to the requiring or not requiring of
notice of intended withdrawal of savings deposits shall be made for the purpose of
discriminating in favor of or against any particular depositor or depositors.
(d) Requirements applicable although no interest paid. An insured nonmember
bank shall observe the requirements of this section with respect to savings deposits
even though no interest be paid on such deposits.
(e) Loans upon security of savings deposits. An insured nonmember bank may
make a loan to any of its depositors upon the security of his savings deposits, pro­
vided that if the bank’s practice is to require notice before permitting withdrawal
of any amount or percentage of the savings deposits of any depositor, it shall require
like notice before permitting a loan on the security of the same amount or percentage
of such deposits.

Statutory Provisions
Paragraph (8), subsection (v) of Section 12B of the Federal Reserve Act, as
amended, provides as follows:
(8)
The board of directors shall by regulation prohibit the payment of interest
on demand deposits in insured nonmember banks and for such purpose it may define
the term “ demand deposits” ; but such exceptions from this prohibition shall be
made as are now or may hereafter be prescribed with respect to deposits payable on
demand in member banks by section 19 of this Act, as amended, or by regulation
of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System. The board of directors
shall from time to time limit by regulation the rates of interest or dividends which
may be paid by insured nonmember banks on time and savings deposits, but such
regulations shall be consistent with the contractual obligations of such banks to
their depositors. For the purpose of fixing such rates of interest or dividends, the
board of directors shall by regulation prescribe different rates for such payment on
time and savings deposits having different maturities, or subject to different condi­
tions respecting withdrawal or repayment, or subject to different conditions by
reason of different locations, or according to the varying discount rates of member
banks in the several Federal Reserve districts. The board of directors shall by
regulation define what constitutes time and savings deposits in an insured non­
member bank. Such regulations shall prohibit any insured nonmember bank from
paying any time deposit before its maturity except upon such conditions and in
accordance with such rules and regulations as may be prescribed by the board of
directors, and from waiving any requirement of notice before payment of any
savings deposit except as to all savings deposits having the same requirement. For
each violation of any provision of this paragraph or any lawful provision of such
regulations relating to the payment of interest or dividends on deposits or to with­
drawal of deposits, the offending bank shall be subject to a penalty of not more than
$100, recoverable by the Corporation for its use.
Paragraph (7), subsection (c) of Section 12B of the Federal Reserve Act, as
amended, provides as follows:
(c) As used in this section—(7)
The term “ savings bank” means a bank (other than a mutual savings bank)
which transacts its_ ordinary banking business strictly as a savings bank under State
laws imposing special requirements on such banks governing the manner of investing
their funds and of conducting their business: Provided, That the bank maintains,
until maturity date or until withdrawn, all deposits made with it (other than funds
held by it in a fiduciary capacity) as time savings deposits of the specific term type
or of the type where the right is reserved to the bank to require written notice before
permitting withdrawal: Provided further, That such bank to be considered a savings
bank must elect to become subject to regulations of the Corporation with respect
to the redeposit of maturing deposits and prohibiting withdrawal of deposits by
checking except in cases where such withdrawal is permitted by law on the effective
date from specifically designated deposit accounts totaling not more than 15 per
centum of the bank’s total deposits.

Miscellaneous rules, resolutions, and interpretations. In ad­
dition to the regulations listed above, the Board of Directors during
1935 adopted the following rules and resolutions:

R U L E IN R E D E P O S IT S E V ID E N C E D B Y N E G O T I A B L E I N S T R U M E N T S

Adopted October 1, 1935

If any insured deposit obligation of a bank be evidenced by a negotiable certificate
of deposit, negotiable draft, negotiable cashier’s or officer’s check, negotiable cer­
tified check or negotiable travelers check or letter of credit, the owner of such
deposit obligation will be recognized for all purposes of claim for insured deposits to
the same extent as if his name or interest was disclosed on the records of the bank
provided the instrument was in fact negotiated to such owner prior to the date of
the closing of the bank. Affirmative proof of such negotiation must be offered in
all cases to substantiate the claim.

Adopted November 7, 1935

The deposit liabilities of one bank, if assumed by a second bank, will, except to the
extent that depositors of the first bank by affirmative action signify their express
intention to hold the first bank liable as debtor, be presumed for assessment pur­
poses to cease being deposit liabilities of the first bank on the date the assumption
becomes effective and be presumed for assessment purposes to become deposit
liabilities of the second bank on the same date.

REGULATIONS AND RULINGS OF THE BOARD OF GOVERNORS
OF THE FEDERAL RESERVE SYSTEM

During 1935 the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System
revised and reissued several of its regulations. Most of the revisions
were made necessary by provisions of the Banking Act of 1935. The
addition of clarifying amendments, interpretations, and rulings
accounted for the other changes. There follows a brief description
of each of the Board's revised regulations which affects the operations
of insured banks not members of the Federal Reserve System as well
as of banks members of the System.1 Complete texts of the regula­
tions and rulings are available upon request at any of the Federal
Reserve banks and at the Washington office of the Board of Governors.
Regulation H— Membership of State banking institutions in the
Federal Reserve System. The revision of Regulation H relating to

membership of State banking institutions in the Federal Reserve
System became effective January 1, 1936. The revised regulation
incorporates a number of changes made necessary by recent amend­
ments to the law. The standard conditions of membership to be
accepted by State institutions upon admission to the System were
revised and simplified.
Regulation P— Holding company affiliates— voting permits. Re­
gulation P relating to holding company affiliates and voting permitswas amended, effective January 1, 1936, giving effect to certain
changes, chiefly of a technical nature, made necessary by amendments
to the law contained in the Banking Act of 1935.
Amendments to Regulation T— Extension and maintenance of
credit by brokers, dealers, and members of national securities
exchanges. Although Regulation T was not reissued by the Board

of Governors in 1935, six amendments to that regulation were ap­
proved during the year. Of these amendments four became effective
on May 10, 1935, one on August 8,1935, and one on October 29,1935.
FORMS AND INSTRUCTIONS

There were no basic changes during 1935 in the forms or instructions
used by the Corporation in assembling reports of condition and reports
of earnings and dividends from insured State banks not members of the
Federal Reserve System. Owing to#the revised plan of assessment
provided for the permanent plan of insurance in the Banking Act of
1935, however, it was found necessary to revise the form of certified
statement used by insured banks to report their deposit liabilities,
and to provide forms to serve as basic supporting records for the cer­
tified statement. These forms and instructions for their use are
reproduced below.
Basic records, Forms 555 and 556. Form 555, “ Tabulation of the
Assessment Base” , must be maintained and preserved as a permanent
record by all insured banks. Form 556, “ Schedule Supporting Tabula­
tion of Assessment Base” , or a similar form showing substantially the
same information, must be kept by all insured banks to support the
l The attention of insured banks not members of the Federal Reserve System is directed also to Regulation
U, Loans by banks for the purpose of purchasing or carrying stocks registered on a national securities ex­
change, approved by the Board of Governors effective May 1, 1936.

ing to take advantage of permissible deductions to support any items
of “ Deductions claimed” on Form 555. These forms and instructions
for their use are reproduced on pages 112-13.
Recapitulation of monthly totals, Form 555A. There is repro­
duced on page 114 Form 555A, the recapitulation of monthly totals
from Form 555, which supports and is submitted with the certified

which are reproduced with instructions on pages 110-11 and 115-17,
Form 545A is the certified statement submitted on January 15, 1936,
by banks which were insured at the inception of the permanent plan of
insurance on August 23, 1935, while Form 645A is the statement
submitted by banks becoming insured after August 23.

S T A T U T O R Y P R O VISIO N S
Paragraphs (1), (2), and (3) subsection (h), of Section 12B of the Federal Reserve
Act, as amended, provide in part as follows:
(1) “ * * * Each insured bank shall, as a condition to the right to deduct
any specific uncollected item in determining its assessment base, maintain such
records as will readily permit verification of the correctness of the particular
deduction claimed. The Certified Statements required to be filed with the Cor­
poration * * * shall be in such form and set forth such supporting information
as the board of directors shall prescribe. * * *
(2) “ On or before the 15th day of July of each year, each insured bank
shall file with the Corporation a Certified Statement under oath showing for
the six months ending on the preceding June 30 the amount of the assess­
ment base and the amount of the semiannual assessment due to the Corpora­
tion, determined in accordance with paragraph (1) of this subsection. Each
insured bank shall pay to the Corporation the amount of the semiannual as­
sessment it is required to certify. On or before the 15th day of January of
each year after 1936 each insured bank shall file with the Corporation a
similar Certified Statement for the six months ending on the preceding Dec­
ember 31 and shall pay to the Corporation the amount of the semiannual
assessment it is required to certify.
(3) “ Each bank which becomes an insured bank according to the provi­
sions of subsection (e) or (f) of this section shall, on or before the 15th day of
November 1935, file with the Corporation a certified statement under oath
showing the amount of the assessment due to the Corporation for the period
ending December 31, 1935, which shall be an amount equal to the product of
one-third the annual assessment rate multiplied by the assessment base deter­
mined in accordance with paragraph (1) of this subsection, except that the
assessment base shall be the average for the 31 days in the month of October
1935, and payment shall be made to the Corporation of the amount of the
assessment so required to be certified. Each such bank shall, on or before the
15th day of January 1936, file with the Corporation a certified statement under
oath showing the amount of the semiannual assessment due to the Corporation
for the period ending June 30, 1936, which shall be an amount equal to the
product of one-half the annual assessment rate multiplied by the assessment
base determined in accordance with paragraph (1) of this subsection, except
that the assessment base shall be the average for the days of the months of
October, November and December of 1935, and payment shall be made to the
Corporation of the amount of the assessment so required to be certified.”




106

FEDERAL DEPOSIT INSURANCE CORPORATION
G ENERAL

The form of Certified Statement consists of two parts. Part one is a summary of
the computations for determining the assessment and the amount due. Part two
is a supporting schedule for the summary. These forms which are prescribed
pursuant to law make it necessary that the banks maintain records which will be
adequate to reflect their total deposit liabilities as of the close of each calendar day
and the total of deductions claimed.
These instructions relate to the manner of tabulating the information for Part
two of the Certified Statement.
ON OR BEFO R E N O V E M B E R 15, 1935, banks continuing as insured banks
shall certify an assessment base which shall be the average for the 31 days in the
month of October, 1935, of the difference at the end of each calendar day, between
the total amount of liability of the bank for deposits (without any deduction for
indebtedness of depositors) and the total of such uncollected items as are included
in such deposits and credited subject to final payment. The assessment payable
based on this Certified Statement is for the four months ending December 31, 1935.
ON OR B EFO R E J A N U A R Y 15, 1936, banks which continued to be insured
banks after the effective date of the Banking Act of 1935 and which were required
to file a Certified Statement on or before November 15, 1935, shall certify an assess­
ment base which shall be the average for the three months .ending December 31,
1935, of the differences at the end of each calendar day between the total amount
of the liability of the bank for deposits (without any deduction for indebtedness
of depositors) and the total of such uncollected items as are included in such deposits
and credited subject to final payment. The assessment payable based on this
Certified Statement is for the six months ending June 30, 1936.
The information accumulated for the month of October must be retained for use
by the bank in computing the assessment due for the six months ending June 30,
1936, based on the average deposits for the three months ending December 31, 1935.
The Certified Statement, Part one, to be filed on or before November 15, 1935,
shall be computed on daily balances for the month of October only. Subsequent
Certified Statements, except the one required to be filed on or before January 15,
1936, shall be computed on daily balances for each semiannual period ending June
thirtieth and December thirty-first. The a m o u n ts to be included as daily
balances for Sundays and holidays shall be the sam e as those for the pre­
ceding business day.

Form 556, or a similar form showing substantially the same information and
sufficient to support the item of “ Total Deposit Liabilities” on Form 555 must be
maintained and preserved by all insured banks. The record must show the daily
balances of the respective deposit liability accounts and the total thereof, in support
of the daily total of such items shown on Form 555.
Form 556, or a similar form showing substantially the same information and suffi­
cient to support any items of “ Deductions Claimed” on Form 555, must be main­
tained and preserved by all insured banks only if the bank desires to take advantage
of permissible^deductions. If this or a similar form is not maintained and preserved
by the bank, its assessment must be based on its total deposit liability without any
deductions otherwise permitted.
A bank operating branch offices must include in its Certified Statement a consoli­
dated summary for all of its branches for the purpose of determining the assessment
base. The bank should advise this Corporation of the names and locations of the
home office and branch offices whose Certified Statements are so consolidated.

Column A. Total Deposit Liabilities. The totals for the purpose of computing
the assessment base shall include all commercial, checking, savings, time, thrift
accounts, certificates of deposit, officer’s or cashier’s checks, traveler’s checks,
certified checks, outstanding drafts, and letters of credit. Also by express provision
of law (see Section 1 of Regulation I) such totals shall include trust funds held in
the trust department or on deposit in any other department of the bank or re­
deposited in other banks.
All the ite m s described m u st be included regardless of w hether they are
secured or unsecured or represent private, public, govern m en t or postal
savings deposits.
The totals used under this heading must be supported by a tabulation, Form 556,
or other appropriate record in such form that the Corporation’s representatives
may readily trace the various items included therein to the general books of the
banking institution.
D E D U C T IO N S
No deduction may be made from total deposit liabilities of any item unless in­
cluded in total deposit liabilities reported in Column A.
C olu m n B. Local Exchanges. Items included in the amounts reported for
total deposit liabilities in Column A, which are represented by checks drawn on
local banks and are credited subject to final payment, may be taken as a deduction
in Column B if uncollected at the close of the business day during which they were
received. Such items may not be presumed to be uncollected for a period longer
than one day. (See Section 3 of Regulation II.)
C olu m n C. O utside Exchanges. Items included in the amounts reported
for total deposit liabilities in Column A, which are represented by checks drawn
on out of town banks and are credited subject to final payment, may be taken as a
deduction in Column C while they remain uncollected, provided that they shall be
deemed to be collected within a period not exceeding the time required for collection
provided for in the Federal Reserve time schedule. (See Section 2 of Regulation II.)
Federal Reserve time schedules referred to in Regulation II may be obtained

inter-branch accounts in subsidiary deposit ledgers rather than as separate accounts
on the general ledger, may deduct such inter-branch accounts by inserting the
amounts thereof in Column E, provided these amounts have been included in total
deposit liabilities in Column A.
To avoid deposit liability of the same bank being included twice, any item repre­
senting a deposit liability payable at a main office or branch of a bank or checks
drawn by a depositor in such main office or branch, if deposited in a different office
or branch of the same bank, may be taken as a deduction from the time of such
deposit until finally cleared.
C olu m n F. O ther D eductions. Certain other items, such as outstanding
drafts, cashier’s or officer’s checks issued for the payment of expenses, repayment
of borrowed money, etc., which do not represent deposit liabilities as defined in

F IR S T CE R TIF IE D S T A T E M E N T

The certified statement must be filed on or before the forty-fifth day after the
first day of operation as an insured bank. This certified statement shall show
an assessment base which shall be the average for the first thirty-one days of opera­
tion as an insured bank of the differences at the end of each calendar day between
the total amount of liability of the bank for deposits (without any deduction for
indebtedness of depositors) and the total of such uncollected items as are included in
such deposits and credited subject to final payment.
The assessment to be certified shall be the prorated portion of a six months assess­
ment. This prorated portion shall be computed by multiplying the amount equal
to the product of
of l/1 2 th of 1 percent of the average daily deposit liabilities so
certified, by a ratio having as denominator the number of days in the six months
period ending on the June 30th or December 31st following its first day of operation
as an insured bank, and having as numerator the number of days from and including
its first day of operation as an insured bank to and including the next succeeding
June 30th or December 31st.
E x am p le:
A bank beginning operation as an insured bank on September 5, 1935, and cer­
tifying to an assessment base of $100,000.00 (Item I), would be required to certify
and pay an assessment of $26.72 (Item J), computed as follows:
Item J— Assessment:
(1) Number of days from and including its first day of operation as an insured
bank to and including the next succeeding June 30th or December 31st, 118
(2) Number of days in the six months period ending on the next succeeding June
30th or December 31st, 184
(3) Ratio of (1) to (2) =
(4)

Jg® =

.6413

of l/1 2 th of 1 percent of assessment base, Item I

( $ 100, 000. 00)

=

$41.66

(5) Assessment remitted herewith ($41.66, obtained in (4) above, multiplied by
.6413, obtained in (3) above) =
$26.72
The assessment payable based on this certified statement will be for the period
from the first day of operation as an insured bank to the next succeeding June 30th
or December 31st.
SECOND C E R TIF IE D ST A T E M E N T
The second certified statement for a bank becoming an insured bank after August
23, 1935, (except one becoming an insured bank in the month of June or December)
must be submitted on or before the next succeeding January 15th or July 15th, after
the bank became an insured bank. This certified statement shall show an assessment
base which shall be the average for the days between its first day of operation as an
insured bank and the last day of the next succeeding June or December of the diff­
erences at the end of each calendar day between the total amount of the liability of
the bank for deposits (without any deduction for indebtedness of depositors) and
the total of such uncollected items as are included in such deposits and credited
subject to final payment. The number of days used in determining the average
shall not be less than thirty-one.
The assessment to be certified shall be H of l/1 2 th of 1 percent of the assessment
base so certified. The assessment payable based on this certified statement is for
the six months ending on the last day of the next succeeding June or December after
the date on which this certified statement is required to be filed.
The second certified statement for a bank becoming an insured bank in the month
of June or December shall show an assessment base which shall be the average for
the first thirty-one calendar days it operates as an insured bank and shall show an
assessment equal to
of l/1 2 th of 1 percent of such assessment base. Such bank
shall be required to file its certified statement and pay the assessment shown thereon,
on or before February 15th or August 15th after becoming an insured bank. The
assessment base will be the same as the assessment base for the first certified state­
ment. There will be a difference in the determined assessment because the first
assessment is for only the prorated portion of a semiannual period whereas the second
assessment will be for a full semiannual period.

PART FIVE
STATISTICS OF BANKS AND DEPOSIT INSURANCE







E X P LA N A TO R Y NOTE
Sources of data. With the exceptions noted below, all figures relating to national
banks were obtained from the Comptroller of the Currency or the Board of Gover­
nors of the Federal Reserve System; figures relating to State banks members of the
Federal Reserve System were obtained from the Board of Governors; and figures
relating to insured banks not members of the Federal Reserve System were obtained
from the banks themselves. Data relating to noninsured banks were obtained from
the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System or from Rand M cN ally
Bankers D irectory.
Average deposit figures used in Tables 114 to 120, inclusive, were reported to the
Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation by all insured banks upon certified state­
ments submitted in connection with insurance assessments.
Data concerning insured banks in receivership were taken from the records of the
Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation.
Classification of banks. “ Commercial banks” includes the following groups of
banks: national banks, State (commercial) banks, loan and trust companies, stock
savings banks, private banks under State supervision, and insured industrial and
Morris Plan banks. The term “ commercial State banks” is used to designate all
commercial banks (as defined above) exclusive of national banks.
The term “ insured banks” is used to include all banks insured by the Federal
Deposit Insurance Corporation; the term “ noninsured banks” to include all banks
not so insured.
The figures for banks not members of the Federal Reserve System used in this
Report differ from those compiled by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve
System due to the inclusion here of some insured industrial banks which are excluded
from figures compiled by the Board of Governors.
The classification of mutual savings banks conforms with that adopted by the
Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System except for one bank classified as a
mutual savings bank by that Board which is insured and classified by the Federal
D eposit Insurance Corporation as a commercial bank. Inclusion of banks in the
tables as mutual savings banks does not indicate that they are eligible in every case
for insurance as mutual savings banks by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation.
Branches. The term “ branches” is used in accordance with the definition in
paragraph (15), subsection (c) of Section 12B of the Federal Reserve Act, which
is as follows: “ The term ‘branch’ includes any branch bank, branch office, branch
agency, additional office, or any branch place of business located in any State
of the United States or in Hawaii, Alaska, Puerto Rico, or the Virgin Islands at
which deposits are received or checks paid or money lent.”
