SUMMARY
Out of a total of 13,999 banks in the United States at the end of 1960,
13,451 participated in Federal deposit insurance. Deposits in insured
banks totaled $260 billion, and an estimated $150 billion was insured
under the limit of $10,000 for each depositor. (Pp. 3, 21.)
The deposit insurance fund amounted to $2,222 million on December
31, 1960, or 0.85 percent of total deposits in insured banks. (Pp. 20-21.)
One insured bank required disbursements from the insurance fund in
1960. This raised to 440 the total number of banks whose depositors have
received financial assistance from the Corporation since the beginning
of 1934. (Pp. 4-5.)
Although normal growth and wartime expansion have led to larger
banks, statistics indicate that the largest 100 and the largest 10 com
mercial banks in the United States hold a smaller percentage of total
deposits than was the case in 1934 or in 1940. Similarly, in the majority
of the States the proportion of deposits held by the largest banks, and
by the largest five banks, in the State declined during the past two
decades. Consequently, insofar as concentration in banking can be used
as a criterion, evidence would suggest that there has been no diminution
of competition within the commercial banking system since the 1930’s.
(Pp. 27-61, 99-104.)
There were 25,105 banking offices operating in the United States at the
end of 1960, an increase of 863 over the 1959 level. (P. 94.)
Assets of all banks totaled $299 billion at the end of 1960, an increase
of 5 percent during the year. Insured commercial banks held $256 billion,
and insured mutual savings banks, $35 billion. (Pp. 92, 95, 97.)
Net profits after taxes of insured commercial banks reached $2 billion
in 1960, a third greater than in 1959, and the highest rate of return since
1945. Retained profits were two-thirds greater than in 1959, and were
primarily responsible for raising total capital accounts to 8.1 percent of
total assets. (Pp. 94, 106.)
The Federal Deposit Insurance Act was amended in 1960 by two
significant measures. One requires approval by a Federal bank supervisory
agency of absorption transactions between insured banks. The other
provides for a simplification of the method of determining deposit insur
ance assessments. (Pp. 10, 14, 65-72.)

PART ONE
OPERATIONS OF THE CORPORATION
D
e p o s it
I n s t jb a n c e P a r t i c i p a t i o n
and
C overage
The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation was created by Congress
in 1933, during the depths of the most severe banking crisis and business
depression in the nation/s history. The situation at that time was de
scribed as follows in the report of the Committee on Banking and
Currency of the House of Representatives:
Experts advise us that more than 90 percent of the business of the
nation is conducted with bank credit, or check currency. The use of
bank credit has declined to the vanishing point . . . The result is cur
tailment of business, decline in values, idleness, unemployment,
bread lines, national depression, and distress. We must resume the
use of bank credit if we are to find our way out of our present
difficulties.1
The record of events since 1933 has substantiated the belief that
deposit insurance, together with other banking reforms, would revive
and maintain confidence in the nation’s banks, permitting uninterrupted
use of their obligations as the major means of making payments. For
the next ten years business recovery was continuous, except for an inter
ruption in 1937-1938. War financing then brought an unparalleled ex
pansion in bank assets and liabilities, with a consequent price inflation;
but at the close of World War II the contraction and deflation that had
followed previous major wars was avoided. From 1946 to 1960, inclusive,
only 42 insured banks were closed because of financial difficulties re
quiring disbursements by the Corporation, with no more than five in
any one year. Most of the closings were due to defalcations.
Participation in Federal deposit insurance. The Corporation
began its insurance operations on January 1, 1934, with 86 percent of
all banks participating. The proportion of banks participating in Federal
deposit insurance has increased each year to more than 96 percent at
the end of 1960. On that date the Corporation was insuring deposits
in 13,451 banks, out of a total of 13,999 operating in the United States.
The 548 nonparticipating banks at the end of 1960 included diverse
types of banking institutions. Only 168 were incorporated commercial
banks operating under the general banking codes of the various States.
There were 28 each in Iowa and Nebraska; the remainder were distributed
among 35 States, no one of which had more than 12. In Massachusetts
177 mutual savings banks, and in other States 13 such banks, were not
participating in Federal deposit insurance. In a few States some un1 Report No. 150, House of Representatives, 73d Congress, 1st session, submitted by Mr. Steagall
from the Committee on Banking and Currency to accompany H. R. 5661, Banking Act o f 1983, p. 6.

incorporated banks of deposit remain in operation, though no State
now permits their establishment, and they are not eligible for admission
to insurance. The number at the end of 1960 was 85, of which 54 were
in Georgia, with no more than 11 in any other State. Another group of
noninsured institutions consists of trust companies not regularly engaged
in deposit banking, numbering 54 at the end of 1960, which also are
ineligible for admission to deposit insurance. The remaining 51 noninsured
banks at the end of 1960 consisted of a variety of institutions operating
under special State laws, government operated banks, and branches
in the United States of banks chartered in foreign countries.
Deposit insurance coverage. In the law of 1933 Congress provided
two separate plans of deposit insurance: a temporary plan, effective
January 1, 1934, and a permanent plan, which was intended to become
effective on July 1, 1934, but which did not become effective as it was
superseded by a revised permanent plan embodied in the Banking Act
of 1935. The temporary plan limited the insurance to $2,500 for each
depositor, which was later increased to $5,000. The original permanent
plan provided for full coverage on the first $10,000 of each depositor,
75 percent coverage on the next $40,000 of deposits, and 50 percent
coverage on all deposits in excess of $50,000.
The revised permanent plan, as adopted in 1935, continued the pro
vision of the temporary plan limiting the insurance coverage afforded
to each depositor to $5,000. The Corporation was authorized to effect
assumptions, mergers, or consolidations by making loans secured by
assets of insured banks, by purchasing assets from insured banks, or
by guaranteeing an insured bank against loss by reason of its assuming
the deposit liabilities and taking over the assets of another insured bank,
when such loan, purchase, or assumption transaction would reduce the
risk or avert a threatened loss to the Corporation. In these transactions
the depositors sustain no loss.
In 1950 the insurance coverage was increased to a maximum of $10,000
for each depositor, and a provision was added authorizing the Corporation
to make a subordinated deposit in or loan to, or purchase assets from,
an insured bank in danger of closing when the continued operation of
the bank is deemed essential to provide adequate banking service in
the community.

Bank failing during I960. On July 29, 1960, the Capitol Hill State
Bank, Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, was closed as the result of financial
irregularities. The Corporation was appointed Liquidating Agent for
the State Bank Commissioner. The bank had approximately 11,200
depositors, with total deposits of nearly $7 million.
INSURANCE OPERATIONS TO PROTECT DEPOSITORS
5
Insured deposits were promptly paid by the Corporation, starting
within ten days after the bank closed; and on February 23, 1961, pay
ment in full of all deposit claims was authorized by means of a liquidating
dividend.
Banks failing, 1934-1960. The Corporation acts to make insured
deposits available to their owners as soon as possible after an insured
bank is closed as a result of inability to meet the demands of its depositors.
By the end of 1960 the Corporation had made disbursements to protect
the depositors in 440 failing insured banks. In 258 of these cases, the

deposit payoff method was used, with direct payments by claim agents
of the Corporation of amounts due insured depositors in closed banks.
In these cases the protection given to depositors by the Corporation
was limited to $2,500 per depositor in one bank closed between January
1 and July 1, 1934; to $5,000 per depositor in 244 banks closed between
July 1, 1934, and September 21, 1950; and to $10,000 per depositor in
13 banks closed subsequent to September 21, 1950. In 182 cases the
deposit liabilities of banks in serious financial difficulties were assumed
by other insured banks and became immediately available in full to
depositors. These assumption transactions were made possible by Corpo
ration disbursements in the form of loans to, or the purchase of assets
from, the failing banks.

By December 31, 1960, fewer than five thousand out of the approxi
mately 1,452,000 depositors in the insured banks which closed since the
beginning of Federal deposit insurance had not had their deposits in
excess of the insurance maximum made available to them in full. The
INSURANCE OPERATIONS TO PROTECT DEPOSITORS

amount of the deposits which had not been paid was less than one-half
of 1 percent of the total deposits in these banks. Table 1 shows, by type
of case, the degree to which depositors have been protected in the 440
insured banks requiring disbursements by this Corporation.
Corporation disbursements and losses. Between January 1, 1934,
and December 31, 1960, Corporation disbursements in insurance transac
tions amounted to $353 million. Amounts paid to depositors of insured
banks or to banks in financial difficulties in order to facilitate the assump
tion of their deposit liabilities by other insured banks, designated principal
disbursements, constituted more than five-sixths of total disbursements.
An analysis of the disbursements, recoveries, and losses to the Corpora
tion is shown in Table 2.
Almost 92 percent of the Corporation's disbursements have been or
will be recovered. The loss to the Corporation is estimated at slightly
less than $29 million.

Admission to insured status. To be admitted to insurance, banks
must satisfy criteria set forth in the Federal Deposit Insurance Act.
The factors which must be taken into account by the appropriate au
thority are: (1) the financial history and condition of the bank, (2) the
adequacy of its capital structure, (3) its future earnings prospects,
(4) the general character of its management, (5) the convenience and
needs of the community to be served by the bank, and (6) the consistency
of its corporate powers with the purposes of the Federal Deposit In
surance Act. Upon certification to the Corporation that these factors
have been considered, national banks and State banks admitted to the
Federal Reserve System become insured automatically. State banks not
members of the Federal Reserve System may apply to the Corporation
for admission to insurance.
An applicant bank must be in operation, or prior to Corporation
action have a charter, or a permit to organize, from the appropriate
State banking authority. Banks applying to the Corporation for deposit
insurance in 1960 totaled 172. Seven of these applicants were disapproved.
About one-half the banks applying for insurance in 1960 were operating
banks. Most of these were in Connecticut, where all the mutual savings
banks not previously participating in Federal deposit insurance applied
and were admitted. New banks approved for insurance by the Corpo
ration were scattered among 30 States. As in 1959, the three States
having the largest number approved for admission to insurance were
Texas, Florida, and Illinois, with 18, 10, and 8, respectively, in 1960.

Other applications from banks. Certain other actions by insured

of time with respect to an insurance commitment for a new bank. Also excludes a few applications acted
upon in prior years on which additional action was taken during 1960.
2 Of these, two were newly-chartered banks organized to succeed noninsured banking institutions
not eligible for deposit insurance.
3 One approved prior to, and 21 after, amendment of Federal Deposit Insurance Act May 13, 1960.
4 Approved prior to May 13, 1960.
The Corporation approved 247 new branch offices in 1960. New York
State had 33, Connecticut 21, North Carolina 19, Michigan and Pennsyl
vania 15 each, and California 12. The 25 banks which became branches
as a result of mergers approved by the Corporation were scattered among
14 States, with one-half of them in Pennsylvania, North Carolina, and
Maryland.
The number of applications from new banks for admission to insured
status approved and disapproved by the Corporation, and applications
for new branches approved and disapproved, in each year from 1946
to 1960, are shown in Chart A. During the 15-year period 87 percent
of the applications for new banks and 97 percent of the applications
for new branches were approved.

FEDERAL DEPOSIT INSURANCE CORPORATION
Regulation of bank mergers. An amendment to the Federal Deposit
Insurance Act, approved May 13, I960, gave Federal banking authorities
additional responsibilities for the regulation of bank merger transactions.
The amendment provides that without prior written consent of one of
the Federal banking authorities no insured bank may merge or consolidate
with any other insured bank, or acquire the assets of, or assume liability
to pay any deposits in any other insured bank. Consent to engage in
a transaction in which the acquiring, assuming, or resulting bank is
to be a national bank or is located in the District of Columbia must be
obtained from the Comptroller of the Currency; if it is to be a State
member bank, except in the District of Columbia, from the Board of
Governors of the Federal Reserve System; and if a nonmember insured
bank, except in the District of Columbia, from the Corporation.

The number of resulting banks is smaller than the number of transactions, which totaled 97,
because a few banks engaged in more than one transaction.
*
In cases where an absorbing bank engaged in more than one transaction, the resources included
are those of the bank before the latest transaction, and the number of offices before the first and after
the last transaction.
SUPERVISORY ACTIVITIES
11
In granting or withholding consent for a bank to engage in a merger,
consolidation, acquisition of assets, or deposit assumption transaction,
the appropriate Federal bank supervisory agency must consider the six
factors specified for consideration in the admission of banks to insurance,
commonly referred to as banking factors, and must also take into con
sideration the effect of the transaction on competition, including any
tendency toward monopoly. A transaction may not be approved unless,
after weighing all of these factors, it is found to be in the public interest.
The agency must request in each case a report on the competitive factors
from the other two Federal banking agencies and from the Attorney
General; and must include in its annual report to Congress a description
of each transaction approved, the basis for its approval, and a summary
prepared by the Attorney General of the substance of his report.
From the date of approval of the amendment on May 13 to December
31, 1960, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation granted permission
in 21 cases, involving 40 banks with resources of $886 million, to engage
in these types of transactions. Data regarding each bank participating
in these transactions, together with a statement in each case of the basis
for approval and the Attorney General’s summary of his report, are
shown in Table 101. Information regarding the number, resources,
and offices of all insured banks involved in such transactions approved
by the appropriate bank supervisory agency is given in Table 4.
Bank examinations. The Corporation regularly examines insured
State banks other than District of Columbia banks and members of the
Federal Reserve System, and reviews reports of examination of other
insured banks made by the Comptroller of the Currency and by the
Federal Reserve banks. It also investigates proposals for new banks
and branches, and proposals for bank absorptions where the resulting
bank would be a nonmember insured bank. During 1960 the Corporation
conducted a total of 11,199 examinations and investigations; these are
classified in Table 5.
Examinations comprise the principal contact of the Corporation with
insured banks, and furnish information about the nature and extent of
the Corporation’s risk. They are the medium by which the Corporation
has encouraged the development of and adherence to sound banking
practices. Equally, they provide information about insured risks and
alert the Corporation to situations requiring attention. The field activities
of the Division of Examination in examining insured State banks not
members of the Federal Reserve System are conducted through twelve
district offices located in different parts of the United States, and require
the services of about three-fourths of the Corporation’s employees.
Reports of such examinations are forwarded to the Washington office
for review and any necessary action.

Citations for unsafe and unsound banking practices and
violations of law. Prohibited and unsound banking practices reported
by examiners are usually corrected by normal supervisory actions with
the cooperation of the offending bank. However, when examination shows
that a bank has persisted in operating in an unsafe or unsound manner
or in violation of law or regulations, the Corporation has the authority
and duty to begin proceedings for termination of the bank’s insured
status. Proceedings are initiated only after other corrective methods
have been exhausted, and during the proceedings, which include an
administrative hearing, the bank is given ample opportunity to present
its case. If and when insurance is withdrawn, the insured deposits of
each depositor on the date of termination, less subsequent withdrawals,
continue to be insured for two years, and each depositor is so notified.
During 1960 proceedings were instituted against two banks operating
with hazardous management. One of these cases was discontinued when
the bank made the necessary corrections; the other was pending at the
end of 1960. One case instituted during 1959 was continued to permit
the bank to complete necessary corrections.
During the entire period of Federal deposit insurance, proceedings
for the termination of insurance have been initiated against 182 banks.
In more than a third of the cases the necessary corrections were made;
and in more than one-half of the cases the banks were absorbed or sue

ceeded by other banks or suspended operations prior to Corporation
action setting a date for termination of insurance. In 12 cases the Corpo
ration set a date for termination of insurance. Of these, nine suspended
prior to and one shortly after the insurance was terminated; only two
continue in operation. Details concerning the outcome of termination
proceedings are given in Table 6.

2 One of these suspended 4 months after its insured status was terminated.
Reports from banks. The reports obtained from banks are useful
for supervisory purposes and as a source of data regarding economic and
banking conditions. Each insured bank submitted statements of its
assets and liabilities as of June 15 and December 31,1960, and a statement
of its income for the calendar year 1960, to the appropriate Federal
supervisory agency. Noninsured banks also furnished data, to State
supervisory authorities or to the Corporation, on their assets and lia
bilities, making possible a tabulation covering assets and liabilities of
all banks. No information is received by the Corporation on the income
of noninsured banks.
Certified statements of deposit insurance assessments were filed by
each insured bank for the six months ended on December 31, 1959, and
June 30, 1960, respectively, showing its deposit insurance assessment
base and the semiannual assessment due the Corporation.
Statistics on the income of insured banks, and tabulations of the
assets and liabilities of both insured and noninsured banks, are presented
in Parts Four and Five of this report. Tabulations of reports of assets
and liabilities classified by State are published semiannually by the
Corporation in separate reports.

Federal legislation. The Federal Deposit Insurance Act was amended
during 1960 by two significant measures. The first of these acts, Public
Law 86-463, which was signed by the President on May 13, 1960, re
quires approval by a Federal bank supervisory agency for merger,
consolidation, asset acquisition, and deposit assumption transactions
between insured banks, and has been described above.
The second measure, Public Law 86-671, providing for a simplification
of the method of determining the deposit insurance assessment under
the Federal Deposit Insurance Act, was approved by the President on
July 14, 1960. Under this law, assessments will be based on the average
of deposits shown in two reports of condition in each semiannual assess
ment period, with authorized deductions of 16-2/3 percent of demand
deposits and 1 percent of time and savings deposits. The basic annual
assessment rate of one-twxlfth of 1 percent remains unchanged. The
credit to insured banks will be computed at 66-2/3 percent of the net
assessment income instead of the former 60 percent. These changes in
the manner of computing the assessment will take effect with the certified
statement to be submitted in July 1961. The change in the ratio of net
assessment income to be credited to insured banks will become effective
with the credit for calendar year 1961, to be made to insured banks for
application toward the payment of their assessments which will become
due in July 1962.
The two statutes are published in Part Three of this report.
Rules and regulations of the Corporation. Because of the amend
ments of the Federal Deposit Insurance Act, Parts 301, 303, 304, and
327 of the Corporation’s Rules and Regulations were amended to conform
to and implement the new provisions and to effect other changes. Former
Part 326 of the Rules and Regulations, relating to bank obligations
prescribed as deposits, was repealed, effective January 16, 1961, because
of the amendment of the definition of the term “ deposit” in subsection
(1) of Section 3 of the Federal Deposit Insurance Act, as amended by
Public Law 86-671, approved July 14, 1960, and effective January 1,
1961, except as to the determination and payment of assessments due
on January 15, 1961 (12 U.S.C. 1813 (1)). However, rights and liabilities
existing on or before January 1, 1961, with respect to insured deposits,
and existing on or before January 15, 1961, with respect to the determi
nation and payment of assessments, are not affected by the repeal of
former Part 326 or the amendment of Part 327. The amended Parts of
the Rules and Regulations, published in the Federal Register of January
14, 1961 (26 F.R. 287-292), are set forth in Part Three of this report.
State legislation. Part Three also includes a summary of State
banking legislation enacted in 1960.

by the President of the United States, one of whom serves as Chairman
of the Board; the Comptroller of the Currency, also appointed by the
President, serves as the third director. Mr. Jesse P. Wolcott was Chairman
throughout 1960. With the change in the Federal administration, Mr.
Wolcott resigned as Chairman and the Board of Directors elected Mr.
Erie Cocke, Sr., as Chairman, effective at noon on January 20, 1961.
Mr. Wolcott and the Comptroller of the Currency, Mr. Ray M. Gidney,
continue to serve as directors.
The main office of the Corporation is in Washington, D. C., and
district offices are maintained in 12 major cities. During 1960 plans went
forward for construction of a headquarters building for the Corporation
in downtown Washington. Ground was broken early in 1961 at the site
at the corner of 17th Street and New York Avenue, N. W., and completion
of the building is expected in about two years.
Corporation officials are listed on page v of this report, adjacent to
an organization chart of the Corporation. The location of each District
office and the area it includes, with the names of the respective Super
vising Examiners, are given on pages vi and vii.

The Corporation had a net increase of seven employees in the year
ended December 31, 1960. Turnover was appreciably greater than during
1959. For all employees (excluding temporary personnel engaged in field
liquidation activities) the turnover ratio was 16 employees per 100,
compared with 13 per 100 in 1959. Among field examiners, the turnover
ratio rose from 10 to nearly 14 per 100 during the same period. Almost
one-half of the 96 departing field examiners went to banks and other
financial institutions or supervisory agencies. At the end of 1960, 107

employees had more than 25 years, and 193 between 15 and 25 years,
of service with the Corporation. A distribution of the Corporation’s
employees at the end of 1960, according to Division and location, is
presented in Table 7.
Employee benefits and programs. Corporation employees receive
the benefits generally available to Federal employees. The most important
of these benefits are retirement annuities, life insurance, vacation and
sick leave, compensation for on-the-job injuries, and unemployment and
health benefits.
The educational program for examiners instituted by the Corporation
in 1946 had resulted by the end of 1960 in completion of over 2700
courses of study. The program has consisted principally of correspondence
courses conducted by the American Institute of Banking, but also includes
resident graduate work at eight outstanding universities. In addition,
nearly 300 examiners have attended the Interagency Bank Examination
School conducted in Washington jointly by the Federal bank supervisory
agencies.
Further educational purposes are served by a program of detailing
a limited number of field examiners to the Washington office. The pro
gram includes special training in the analysis of municipal credits and
the investment portfolio of banks and short tours of duty as review
examiners. Progress was made also in 1960 in training employees to meet
the emerging demand for new kinds of skills necessitated by the increasing
use of automatic data processing equipment.

Assets and liabilities. Assets of the Corporation totaled $2,337
million on December 31, 1960. United States Government obligations,
valued at amortized cost, with accrued interest, comprised $2,325 million
of that amount. Half of the remaining $12 million consisted of the esti
mated net value of assets acquired in insurance transactions, after pro
vision for losses. Cash exceeded $3 million. Most of the remaining assets
was represented by the building site and planning costs of the Corpora
tion’s new headquarters building.
Liabilities of the Corporation totaled $115 million on December 31,
1960. Net assessment income credits and other credits due insured
banks, amounting to $112 million, were the principal liability item. The
excess of the Corporation’s assets over its liabilities constitutes the
deposit insurance fund, and comprises the Corporation’s financial re
sources for the protection of depositors. At the end of 1960 this fund
amounted to $2,222 million. Assets and liabilities of the Corporation
on December 31, 1960, are presented in Table 8.

2 The Deposit Insurance Fund represents the cumulative net income (surplus) of the Corporation
from its inception to December 31, 1960. For the protection of depositors, in addition to this Fund,
the Corporation is authorized to borrow up to three billion dollars from the United States Treasury
when in the judgment of the Board of Directors such funds are required for insurance purposes.
Incom e in 1960 and its disposition. During 1960 the deposit
insurance fund increased $132 million. Net income from assessments on
insured banks amounted to more than $79 million, and income from
United States Government securities totaled $65 million. Expenses and
losses amounted to $12 million. Table 9 presents a statement of the
Corporation’s income in 1960, and of changes in the deposit insurance
fund during the year.
Income from assessments is determined by a formula which takes
account of the Corporation’s operating expenses and insurance losses.

Net after deducting the portion of net assessment income credited to insured banks, pursuant to
provisions of the Federal Deposit Insurance Act of 1950. Since that time, assessment credits to insured
banks have amounted to $931.8 million, equal to 56.276% of gross assessments.
1 Assessments collected from insured banks, members of the temporary insurance funds which
became insured under the permanent plan, were credited to their accounts in total at the termination
of the temporary funds and were applied toward payment of subsequent assessments becoming due
under the permanent insurance fund, resulting in no income to the Corporation from assessments during
the existence of the temporary insurance funds.

Audit. The Audit Division of the Corporation makes a continuous
audit of its financial operations. Outside audits have been made each
year from the beginning of the Corporation, first by private firms, and
since 1945 by the General Accounting Office.
The short form report on audit for the year ended June 30, 1960,
furnished by the Comptroller General, is presented in Table 14. As
indicated there, and in his larger report to the Congress, the Comptroller
General found the financial accounts to be as represented and in general
conformity with accepted accounting principles. In the report to Congress,
two ■recommendations were repeated from earlier audit reports: (a)
'

FEDERAL DEPOSIT INSURANCE CORPORATION
that the Federal Deposit Insurance Act be amended to require the
Corporation to pay, currently and retroactively from its creation, the
Government’s share of the cost of administering and providing retire
ment, disability, and workmen’s compensation benefits to the Corpo
ration’s employees; and (b) that the Act be amended to require the
General Accounting Office to make its report of audit on a calendarvear rather than a fiscal-year basis. The Board of Directors of the Corpo
ration has expressed its accord with each of these recommendations.

To
Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation
The General Accounting Office has made an audit of the Federal Deposit Insurance
Corporation, an independent Government agency, for the year ended June 30, 1960,
pursuant to section 17(b) of the Federal Deposit Insurance Act (12 U.S.C. 1827).
Our audit included an examination of the Corporation's financial condition as of
June 30, 1960, and the related income and expenses for the year then ended, in ac
cordance with generally accepted auditing standards and such tests of the accounting
records and such other auditing procedures as we considered necessary in the circum
stances and appropriate in view of the effectiveness of the system of internal control
and the work performed by the Corporation's internal auditors.
The financial statements in this report were prepared by us from the accounts
and related records of the Corporation. The statements are similar in format to the
official financial statements issued by the Corporation on a calendar-year basis except
that in the statement of income (schedule 2) we have included $699,663 representing
adjustments to prior years' income, which type of adjustments the Corporation
normally credits directly to its deposit insurance fund. Of this amount, $541,210
represents a decrease in the Corporation's estimate of insurance losses applicable to
banks closed in prior years and $158,453 represents a net increase in assessments
applicable to prior years.
The Corporation's accumulated net income has been retained as a deposit insurance
fund and is available for future deposit insurance losses. We are unable to express
an opinion on the adequacy of the deposit insurance fund to meet future losses because
the amount that may be needed is dependent on future economic conditions which
cannot be predicted.
In our opinion, subject to the comments in the preceding paragraph, the accompany
ing financial statements (schedules 1 and 2) present fairly the financial position of
the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation at June 30, 1960, and the results of its
operations for the year then ended, in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles applied on a basis consistent with that of the preceding year and with
applicable Federal laws.

N otes to th e F inancial Statements— June 30, 1960
1. The Corporation has acquired a building site in the District of Columbia on which it plans to
construct its own office building. The Corporation estimates that the completed structure will cost about
7.5 million dollars and will be ready for occupancy during calendar year 1962.
2. The Federal Deposit Insurance Act (12 U.S.C. 1817(d)) provides that insured banks shall be
allowed, against current semiannual insurance assessments, pro rata credits totaling 60 percent of the
Corporation’s net assessment income (as defined by the act) for the prior calendar year. At June 30,
1960, the amounts due the banks for net assessment income credits totaled $150, 903,086 which comprised
credits of $99,926,339 for calendar year 1959 and prior years and estimated credits of $50,976,747 for
the first 6 months of calendar year 1960.
3. The deposit insurance fund of $2,155,132,283 at June 30, 1960, is available for future deposit
insurance losses and related expenses. The fund amounts to about 1.54 percent of all insured deposits,
which the Corporation estimates at 140 billion dollars. The existing law does not specify either the
amount or the ratio of insured deposits to which the insurance fund is to be accumulated.
The fund is not a measure of the deposit insurance risk. Its adequacy to meet future losses is de
pendent on future economic conditions which cannot be predicted. The Corporation from its inception
to June 30, 1960, has made disbursements of about $348,400,000 in protecting depositors of 439 insured
banks and in facilitating the termination of liquidations. The Corporation’s accumulated losses amount
to about $29,000,000, including estimated losses of $7,329,000 on cases not terminated at the close of
the year ended June 30, 1960.
The Corporation is authorized to borrow from the United States Treasury up to 3 billion dollars
outstanding at any one time when, in the judgment of the board of directors, such funds are required
for insurance purposes. The Corporation has never used this borrowing authority.

AND IN THE RELATIVE POSITION OF BANKS,
During the four decades since 1920 there have been fundamental and
far-reaching changes in the number of operating banks and branches in
the United States. In 1921, approximately 31,000 banks were in opera
tion, the largest number in the nation’s history. From that peak the
number of banks has declined to about 14,000. Branches, on the other
hand, numbered fewer than 1,500, or less than five percent of all banking
offices, in 1921; but there are now nearly 11,000 branches, comprising
more than 40 percent of all banking offices.
These changes in the numbers of banks and branches have given rise
to diverse reactions. Some people view the decline in number of banks
and the rise in number of branches with alarm; others see the same
developments as beneficial, or at least as natural and reasonable adjust
ments to more fundamental changes in our economic system. An analysis
is given here of changes in the number of banks and branches, with
comments regarding their effect on the competitive character of the
banking system.1

1859-1959
Because of the peak in the number of banks in 1921, the magnitude
of the subsequent decline, and the lack of annual data on the character
of bank changes prior to 1921, that year has become the bench-mark
from which changes in the banking structure are usually measured. Use
of 1921 as the starting point in analyses of bank changes carries a con
notation of normality in the banking structure of that year. Such an
implication is unwarranted; in fact the banking structure in 1921 appears
to have been inherently unstable. Many sections of the country were
undoubtedly “ over-banked” in the sense that they could not support
for long the number of banks attempting to do business. Accordingly,
bank changes since 1920 should be viewed in the perspective of such
changes over a longer period of time.
Changes in num ber o f banks, 1859-1959. The past 100 years of
American banking have been characterized by periods of remarkably
rapid change, intermixed with periods of minor change. For approxi
mately six decades, from 1859 to 1921, the number of banks moved
almost continuously upward—sometimes slowly or with interruptions as
in the 1870’s and 1890’s, and sometimes very rapidly, as during the early
1900’s. The decline which began in 1921, like the rise that preceded it,
» Changes in the number of banks and branches during 1960 are described in Part Four of this
report.
27

FEDERAL DEPOSIT INSURANCE CORPORATION
has been virtually continuous and also at an uneven pace. There was a
precipitous fall in the number of banks during the 12 years after 1921, and
during the quarter of a century subsequent to 1933 a slow downward
drift. Annual data are given in Tables 15 and 16.
Although the growth in number of banks during the six decades from
1860 to 1920 did not proceed at an even pace, in all but a few years that
growth exceeded the rate of population increase. By 1920 the average
bank in the United States depended for its potential business on a smaller
number of people than ever before or since in the nation’s history. A
century ago there were about 3,000 banks in the nation, and about
11,000 people for each bank. By 1880 the number of persons per bank
had declined to about 8,000, by 1890 to 6,000, and by 1920 to fewer
than 3,500.
The instability of the 1921 banking structure was demonstrated by
the fact that the number of banks fell by half in the next 12 years. About
one-third of this great reduction occurred during the predominantly
prosperous period of the 1920’s, and two-thirds during the depression
years, 1930-1933. The decline in number of banks from 1920 to 1933, when
adjusted for those that reopened after the banking holiday of 1933, was
enough to offset the increase, relative to population, of the 40 years
prior to 1920, so that the population per bank was again about 8,000.
During 1934 there was a significant increase in the number of banks,
due almost entirely to reopening of banks previously closed. From 1934
to 1959 there was a slow decline in the number of banks, at an average
rate of about one-half of 1 percent per year. However, the growth of
population during this time resulted in a rise in population per bank to
nearly 13,000.
Changes in number of branches and total banking offices, 19001959. Changes in the number of banks do not, of course, accurately
reflect changes in the availability of banking services. Because of the
increase in the number of branches, particularly in most of the large
cities and throughout several States, the population per banking office
is now much smaller than the population per bank. Annual data since
1920, and by 5-year periods from 1900 to 1920, are given in Tables
15 and 16.
The earliest year for which a tabulation of branches is available is
1900, when about a hundred branches were being operated by incorporated
commercial banks.1 During the next twenty years, when there was an
increase of about 18,000 in the number of banks, the increase in number
of branches was about 1,200. From 1920 to 1934, when the number of

1,700 in the number of branches; and from 1934 to 1959, when there was
a slow downward trend in number of banks with a total reduction of
about 2,000, there was a relatively large growth, about 7,000, in number
of branches.

Tabulations of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation. Data have been revised and for most
years differ slightly from those published in the respective annual reports of the Corporation. For 1938
and 1934 numbers exceed those in Table 15 by the number of mutual savings branches in continental
United States plus the number of commercial and mutual savings banks and branches in other areas
(Alaska, American Samoa, Hawaii, Mariana Islands, Panama Canal Zone, Puerto Rico, and Virgin
Islands).
* Population data used are Bureau of the Census estimates for July 1, as published in Historical
Statistics of the United States 1789-19U5, and various issues of the Statistical Abstract of the United States.
* As of January 1, 1934. Figures differ from those for December 30, 1933, because of banks absorbed
or otherwise ceasing operations after the close of business on December 30, and because of those un
licensed on that date but approved for insurance or licensed in time to reopen on the morning of
January 2, 1934.
,
The consequence of these changes was a growing divergence between
the population per bank and the population per banking office. Both
in 1900 and in 1920 the population per banking office was only a little
smaller than the population per bank. By 1934 there was a greater
difference, with about 8,000 persons per bank and 6,600 per banking office.
But at the end of 1959, when the population per bank was nearly 13,000,
the population per office was about 7,400. The latter figure was smaller
than in 1880, when the population per bank was over 8,000 and there were
relatively few branches. This seems remarkable in view of the much

Character o f bank changes, 1859-1920, Detailed statistics regarding
the character of bank changes prior to 1921 are not available. However,
there was a remarkable increase in number of banks during the twenty
years preceding 1921, with a consequent decline in population per bank.
Character o f bank changes, 1921-1934. From 1920 to 1959 the
number of banks going out of business exceeded the number opened in
all years except 1934 and 1945-1947. However, the changes from 1920
to 1934 were of a different order of magnitude, largely different in char
acter, and the available statistics are somewhat different, than for the
period after 1934. It is accordingly convenient to present separately,
in Tables 17 and 18, the pertinent data for these two periods.
In the years 1921-1933, the number of banks going out of business was
far greater than the number opened. Annual data for each year of this
period and for 1934 are shown in Table 17, with the closings classified
into those suspended, those absorbed, and those placed in voluntary
liquidation, and the openings divided between new banks and reopenings
of suspended banks. The data pertain to incorporated commercial banks
in continental United States. Most of the changes occurred among
those banks, the net decrease in the number of incorporated commercial
banks for 1920 to 1934 being approximately 14,000, compared with about
900 for unincorporated commercial banks and about 50 for mutual
savings banks.
The decline of 14,000 in the number of incorporated commercial banks
during the years 1921-1934 represented the difference between the closing
of 22,000 banks and the opening of about 8,000 banks, with the latter
figure including reopenings of suspended banks and the chartering of
previously unincorporated banks. About half of the openings were new
banks, and nearly half reopenings of suspended banks.
Bank suspensions from 1921 to 1934 accounted for nearly two-thirds
of the 22,000 banks that ceased business during that period. Suspensions
were numerous during the prosperous years of the 1920’s. In each year
from 1923 through 1929 the number of banks ceasing operation because
of financial difficulties substantially exceeded the number of newly
organized banks, the typical ratio being about two failed banks for each
new bank. In all, over 5,400 banks suspended during the nine years,
1921-1929, or an average of about 600 per year during one of the most
prosperous decades in the nation’s history. These failures represented,

FEDERAL DEPOSIT INSURANCE CORPORATION
primarily, the inability of banks in the agricultural regions of the nation
to adjust themselves to the impact of a set of economic circumstances
having an adverse effect on agriculture and on the trading centers of
agricultural areas, even though business throughout the nation was
generally prosperous. The depression of the early 1930’s saw a catastrophic
rise in bank suspensions, as approximately 9,000 banks failed during
four years. This depression, which was nation-wide, together with the
financial panic of 1933, was primarily responsible for the extraordinarily
large number of failures during those years.
Bank absorptions, using that term to include consolidations, mergers,
and assumption of deposit liabilities of one bank by another, were of
significant importance in the decline in the number of banks between
1920 and 1934, although they ranked well below bank suspensions as a
cause of the decline in number of banks. Absorptions accounted for about
three out of every ten banks ceasing business during this period, whereas
suspensions were responsible for approximately six out of every ten banks
that closed.
Expansion of branch banking systems was not a primary force in
these bank absorptions. The number of banks absorbed was much
larger than the increase in the number of branches operated and a
relatively small proportion of the absorptions occurred in the same
States as most of the increase in branches. Moreover, during most of
the period from 1920 to 1934, the number of absorptions appears to have
been related to the number of suspensions. Both tended to rise during
the 1920’s and both increased with the onset of the depression, though
absorptions dropped back to earlier levels as the depression continued.
Also, the majority of the absorptions occurred in the same States as the
majority of suspensions. Many, if not most, of the absorption transactions
of that period appear to have been alternatives either to failure or to
voluntary liquidation. To the extent that this was true, bank absorptions
were not a direct cause of decline in the number of banks but, instead,
only the means by which many banks, which would have ceased business
in any event, happen to have left the banking scene.
Of the banks that suspended during the years 1921-1930, more than
200 were taken over, after suspension, by another bank. Thus whether a
distressed bank was deleted from the count because it suspended or be
cause it was absorbed apparently depended to a great extent on whether
it was able to find a purchaser; i.e., another bank, prior to suspension;
if it was successful it appears in tabulations as an absorption; if not
immediately successful it appears in such tabulations as a suspension.
It is noteworthy that with the precipitous decline in number of bank
failures after 1933 and the consequent stabilization of the banking
CHARACTER OF BANK AND BRANCH CHANGES
35
system there occurred a decline of similar proportions in the number of
bank absorptions.1
Voluntary liquidations accounted for less than 5 percent of the banks
ceasing operations during the period from 1920 to 1934. Little specific
information is available regarding the reasons for these liquidations, but
it is highly likely that the motivation in most of them was unprofitability.
In summary, the character of bank changes from 1920 to 1934 in
dicates that most of those changes were a consequence of a previous
uneconomic and hence undesirable expansion in the number of banks, or
of an inevitable adjustment to changes in communications and trans
portation facilities that brought more competition into banking and
made survival of many of the smaller banks impossible, or were due to
the impact of the forces that produced the deep depression of the early
1930’s. Consequently, the great reduction in number of banks that re
sulted from the changes of the 1920-1934 period has no significant rele
vance to bank absorptions today.
Character o f bank changes, 1934-1959. Both the number of banks
beginning operations and the number ceasing operations were much
smaller during the 25 years from 1934 to 1959 than during the preceding
thirteen years. However, the number of branches experienced far more
change in the recent period than in the earlier one. Table 18 shows for
all banks in the entire United States the character of changes occurring
each year from 1934 to 1959, inclusive, with a classification similar to
that for changes among incorporated commercial banks in continental
United States in the preceding table; and also shows the character of
changes among branches each year. The figures in this table are more
inclusive than those in the preceding table, because they include not
only commercial banks in continental United States, but also private
banks, mutual savings banks, and banks in Alaska, Hawaii, Puerto
Rico, and other noncontiguous parts of the nation. The figures are also
compiled from different sources and by somewhat different methods
than the preceding table. The difference in method of compilation is
especially important for 1934, which is covered in both tables, because
in this table newly chartered banks that succeeded banks *‘unlicensed’ ’
'
after the banking holiday (that is, remaining in conservatorship, operat
ing under restrictions, or otherwise in a state of suspended animation
without formal placement in receivership or liquidation) are classified
with reopenings of suspended banks instead of with new banks as in
the preceding table.

The probability that many absorptions during the 1920’s and early 1930’s were “ forced lifesaving
jobs . . . to prevent failure” was noted in Concentration o f Banking in the United States, a Staff Report
of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System submitted to the Subcommittee on Monopoly
of the Select Committee on Small Business, U. S. Senate, September 10, 1952, p. 6.

Of the approximately 3,300 banks beginning operations in the entire
United States from 1934 to 1959, inclusive, about 1,200 were reopened
suspended banks. Most of the reopenings were in 1934; after 1935 the
number of suspended banks reopened became almost negligible. For the
26-year period new banks organized averaged 80 per year, ranging from
a low of 22 in 1942, during World War II, to a high of 144 in 1946, the
first post-war year. During recent years the number of new banks opened
has averaged about 100 per year.
Various reasons account for the fact that since 1934 the rate of opening
of new banks has been much smaller than prior to 1920 or during the
decade of the 1920,s. A survey made by the Joint Economic Committee
and published in February 1952 reveals that State bank supervisors,
except for those in States in the rapidly growing Southwest, reported
receiving relatively few bank applications. Generally speaking, the
reasons given were the adequacy of existing banking facilities and the
low level of bank profits relative to other industries.1 During the past
few years the number of applications for new bank charters has increased
somewhat because of the high level of economic activity and larger bank
profits, but the number is still much lower than in the 1920’s. The growth
in branch banking is undoubtedly an important factor helping to explain
the reduced demand for new banks, particularly in those States which in
the 1930’s changed their banking codes to permit more expansive or
statewide branch banking.
Another factor has been the attitude of bank chartering authorities.
With the experience of thousands of bank failures between 1920 and 1934,
attributed in many instances to weak or under-capitalized banks in
population centers unable to support them, bank chartering authorities
were alert to prevent a repetition of the over-banked situation of the
early 1920’s. While it may to some persons now seem a desirable situation
to have, as in 1921, more than 30,000 banks with “ open doors for
borrowers and depositors throughout the United States,” 2 bank super
visors and chartering authorities of the 1930’s and 1940’s knew that
many of those banks closed their doors with great losses and hardships
to their depositors and were determined that this should not happen
again. The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation has particularly
stressed capital adequacy as a requirement for insurance.
The closing of banks because of financial difficulties has been of small
importance in accounting for changes in the number of banks since 1933.
During the entire period from that year to 1959 the net decline in number

CHARACTER OF BANK AND BRANCH CHANGES

of banks attributable to bank suspensions, including absorptions with
Corporation aid, was only 561, less than the number closed because of
financial difficulties during a typical year in the 1920’s.1 The principal
causes of the failures that have occurred since 1934 have been: (1) the
weakened condition of banks as a consequence of the depression of
1930-1933, which accounted for a substantial percentage of those during
the early years of Federal deposit insurance; (2) the inability of small
and uneconomic banking units to continue operations; and (3) financial
irregularities in banks. The latter factor has accounted for about onefourth of the banks in financial difficulties handled by the Federal De
posit Insurance Corporation since January 1, 1934.
The fact that bank failures have been relatively infrequent since 1933
of course accounts for the fact that most of the decline in number of
banks since 1920 occurred between 1921 and 1934. With the drop in
number of bank failures, the precipitous decline in the number of banks
which was so apparent during the 1920’s, and particularly during the
early 1930’s, also ceased.
Since 1933 absorptions have been the leading cause of banks ceasing
operations, and thus have been largely responsible for the slow down
ward drift in number of banks during the past 25 years. However, the
annual number of absorptions was only about one-fourth of that prior
to the depression of the 1930’s, and from 1938 to 1952 did not exceed 100
in any one year. The year 1952 appears to mark the beginning of an
upturn in bank absorptions, although after reaching a high of 231 cases
in 1955 the number declined to 152 in 1958 and 169 in 1959.
Over 900 banks ceased business by voluntary liquidation during the
26 years from 1933 to 1959, accounting for about one-fifth of all banks
ceasing business. This is about the same number as during the preceding
13 years. Though the average annual number since 1933 is only about
half that of the earlier period, the rate of closing for this reason relative
to the number of banks in operation is about the same.
No recent tabulation of the reasons for voluntary liquidations of banks
is available, but it appears that in most cases such liquidations reflect
unprofitability, or a management succession problem, combined with
inability to find a purchaser. A tabulation of reasons for voluntary liquida
tions of national banks from 1941 through 1950 supports this conclusion.2
In summary, an analysis of bank changes after 1920 shows a much
higher degree of stability since 1933 than during the preceding 13-year
period. The rapid decline in number of banks ceased abruptly in 1934 as
many banks closed during the depression were reopened. Since that time

all elements affecting bank changes have been of lesser magnitude than
during the 1920’s and early 1930’s, with the greatest difference being
that between bank suspensions during the two periods. The organization
of new banks has substantially exceeded the number of banks placed in
voluntary liquidation or closed because of financial difficulties. The
banking facilities which were not uneconomic but were lost in the de
pression have been replaced. Nevertheless, there was a slow and small
decline in the total number of banks, attributable to bank absorptions.
Character of changes in number of branches, 1921-1959. Changes
in number of branches have been different from changes in number of
banks. In 1921 there were about 32,500 banking offices, including both
commercial and mutual savings banks, in the entire United States, of
which about 1,500 were branches. At the end of 1959 there were about
24,200 banking offices, including over 10,200 branches.
Except for a relatively small decline during the early 1930’s the number
of branches has grown in each year of the period, 1921-1959. Since
World War II there has been a noticeable acceleration in this growth,
reflected in the fact that in recent years the number of branches has been
increasing at between 8 and 9 percent per year, compared to an increase
of about 4 percent per year during the immediate post-war years.
From 1933 to 1959 growth in number of branches more than offset
the decline in number of banks, so that the total number of banking offices
increased by more than 30 percent. Though the number of banking offices
increased by nearly 6,000 during that period, the total at the end of 1959
was less than three-fourths of the number in 1921. However, in recent
years the growth in banking offices has been keeping pace with, or ex
ceeding, the growth in population.
Growth in number of branches is due principally to the opening of
new offices. For the entire period, 1934-1959, six times as many branches
were opened as were discontinued. Within recent years the number of
branches opened has approached 800 per year. Approximately threefourths of all branches opened during the years, 1934-1959, were new
offices, and one-fourth were at the locations of absorbed banks. For that
period as a whole approximately two-thirds of the absorbed banks were
continued in operation as branches of the absorbing bank, though in
recent years this proportion has been about nine out of ten. Thus bank
absorptions now have comparatively little effect on changes in the number
of banking offices, a different situation than prior to 1934, when only a
few of the absorbed banks were continued as branches.
Much of this growth in the number of branches would not have been
possible without changes in legislation regarding establishment of branches.
Since 1920 many of the States have enlarged the areas within which
CHARACTER OF BANK AND BRANCH CHANGES
39
branches are permitted, and a few abolished laws prohibiting branch
banking. The pressure for changed banking laws and the actual growth
in the number of branches are both traceable to the same set of forces.
The most important underlying reason for the expansion in the number
of branches has been a need for additional banking facilities. Whereas
many parts of the nation were doubtless over-banked in 1921, by the
end of 1933 an under-banked situation existed in many places as a con
sequence of the disappearance during the preceding four years of about
40 percent of the nation’s banks. Some of the States in which bank
suspensions had left many communities without adequate banking facili
ties and which had previously prohibited branch banking changed their
banking codes to permit branches, at least for limited types of business.
With the continued, though much slower, decline in the number of banks
after 1934 additional branch offices were opened. However, at the end
of World War II there were fewer banking offices in the United States
than in 1934. During the intervening years there had been substantial
increases in both population and national output, so that the accelerated
growth in the number of branches since the end of World War II may be
viewed as representing primarily a response to a need for banking facili
ties that had been accumulating since the depression of the 1930’s.
An additional aspect of population growth which in recent years has
been of particular importance to branch banking has been the great
development of suburbs and expansion of metropolitan areas in many
parts of the country. Except in States where branch banking is prohibited,
this has led to the development of suburban business centers in which
banks have found it advantageous to operate branches. Existing banks
are usually desirous of opening branches in such areas prior to the time
when an independent bank would appear to be profitable enough to
stimulate its promotion. In addition, city banks have found that they
need branches with parking facilities and drive-in windows that cannot be
provided at their head office locations.
To some extent the increase in demand for banking facilities has
been met by the organization of new banks. However, many places
which are unable to support an independent bank can support a branch,
sometimes doing only a limited business. More strict requirements of
banking legislation and chartering authorities, in comparison with the
period before 1920, make establishment of new banks more difficult in
many instances.
In States permitting Statewide branch banking and to some degree
in those permitting branches in limited areas, the growth in number of
branches may also reflect intense competition between two or more
large branch banking systems. This has led to aggressive drives for
branch locations, including absorptions of unit banks. In such situations
40
FEDERAL DEPOSIT INSURANCE CORPORATION
competition may lead to establishment of a branch in an area of potential
economic growth, thereby reducing the need for and making more difficult
the establishment of a unit bank when the community achieves the size
needed for profitable operation.

Table 19 shows for selected years— 1880, 1900, 1920, 1934, and 1958—
the number of banks in each State, and for the latter three of these years
the number of banking offices. Table 20 shows for the same years the
population per bank and per banking office in each State. Table 21 gives
for each State the change in number of banks for three periods— 1900
to 1920, 1920 to 1934, and 1934 to 1958—and in number of branches for
the last two of these periods. Table 22 shows percentage changes in
number of banks and number of banking offices in each State for the
same periods.
Changes in num ber o f banks by State, 1880-1958. When the
growth in the number of banks prior to 1920 is looked at by States, it
becomes evident that this growth was largely concentrated in the agri
cultural States of the Great Plains. Nine States of this area accounted
for 45 percent of the net increase in number of banks between 1900 and
1920 in the entire United States. The extent to which the rapid increase
in number of banks reduced the potential clientele of individual banks is
indicated by the population per bank. In 1880 there was one State and
in 1900 four States with fewer than 2,500 persons per bank. By 1920 there
w
e>re thirteen States with less than 2,500 people per bank, all of them
in the Great Plains and Rocky Mountain areas. The State with the lowest
figure was North Dakota, with a bank for every 720 persons.
To a considerable degree the decline in number of banks between
1920 and 1934 was also concentrated in the agricultural States of the
Great Plains, with the largest reductions in the nine States having
the largest increases of the preceding twenty years. These States—Illinois,
Io wa, Kansas, Minnesota, Missouri, Nebraska, North Dakota, Oklahoma,
and Texas—accounted for 50 percent of the net decrease in number of
banks in the entire United States from 1920 to 1934.
The tremendous reduction in the number of banks between 1920 and
1934 reversed the trend toward more and more States with a small
number of persons per bank, and raised the population per bank in almost
every State. However, the data by States do not indicate that the conse
quence was an unduly small number of banks in any part of the country
in comparison with the situation prior to 1900. In 1934, as in 1900, there
were three States with a population per bank above 15,000, but in 1880
there had been fourteen States in this category. In 1934, as in 1900, there

remaining States there was a wide variation in the proportionate change
in number of banks, and considerable differences in the rate of growth
of population. As a consequence, by 1958 population per bank ranged
from about 3,400 in Nebraska to 142,000 in Arizona.

BANK CHANGES BY STATE
was rather similar, from 2,500 in Kansas to 12,500 in Arizona. These
differences between the changes in population per bank, on the one hand,
and population per office, on the other, are, of course, the result of rapid
expansion of branch banking in some States and its absence or limited
development in other States.
The differences among the States in the development of branch banking
have been decisively influenced by State legislation. Statewide branch
banking has become prevalent in nearly a third of the States; limited
area branch banking, largely within county limits, has become prevalent
in a third of the States; and unit banking remains predominant in more
than a third of the States. Table 23 shows the States in each of these
categories at the end of 1958, together with a sub-classification and with
notes regarding variations among State laws respecting places in which
branches may be located.

1 Capital requirements, and those pertaining to approval by the supervisory authority, are not
considered in this classification. Minor locational requirements in a few States, such as a requirement
that any branch established shall be within the limits of a city or incorporated town, are also neglected.
For the most part, the classification is also applicable to the major part of period since Dec. 31, 1920.
* Several of these States did not permit branches prior to 1933.
* Capital requirements according to location of branch are not included here as locational require
ments.
4 The locational conditions in these States are each different, but all follow the principle that a
branch can be established in a place outside of the head office town or county which has an operating
bank only by absorption of an existing bank.
6 In Kentucky, Massachusetts, and New Jersey establishment of a branch outside of the parent
bank’s head office town or municipality is limited to specified conditions, such as through absorption
or in a place with no bank or with one under liquidation. In Louisiana, Michigan, and New Mexico,
a branch may be established in an adjoining county or within a certain distance from the parent bank,
under specified similar conditions.
« Alabama: within the head office county in eleven counties and within the head office city in two
other counties. District of Columbia: throughout the District (classified in this category because Districtwide branch banking is more comparable to countywide or citywide branch banking than to state
wide branch banking). Georgia: within head office city in the two largest cities, and throughout the
State if established prior to 1927. Maine: within head office county or contiguous county. Mississippi:
limited function offices within head office county or contiguous county, but not in a place under 3,500
opulation with an existing office; other branches under more stringent restrictions. New York: within
ead office city or district (each district consisting of 3 to 15 counties), but in a city or village with an
operating bank only through absorption of a bank. Pennsylvania: within head office county or con
tiguous county or by absorption of an existing bank. Virginia: within head office city or county.
7 Limited function offices permitted within specified distance from head office or in a place with no
operating bank within the head office county or contiguous county, to be closed (in most cases) upon
establishment of a bank; and in Wisconsin, only if established prior to 1947. In South Dakota, other
branches upon absorption of a bank, without locational restrictions.
8 The few branches in these States were established prior to existing prohibitory legislation or
under unusual circumstances.

The growth of branch banking during the past quarter of a century
should not be regarded as a sequel to the great decline in number of
banks subsequent to 1920. The development of branch banking has oc
curred, for the most part, in different States and in different areas within
States from those in which the decrease in number of banks was concen
trated. Only 3 percent of the increase in number of branches from 1920
to 1958 was in the nine States which accounted for 50 percent of the great
reduction in number of banks from 1920 to 1934. The increase in branches
occurred chiefly in metropolitan areas; the decrease in banks in other
areas. This is indicated in Table 24, which compares the number of
commercial banks and branches in 1920 and 1958 in metropolitan and

other counties in States grouped according to the status of branch banking
as shown in the preceding table. Of the total reduction of nearly 17,000
in number of commercial banks between the end of 1920 and the middle
of 1958, nearly 14,000 were in counties not classified as metropolitan in
1958. In these counties the increase in number of branches during the
same period was less than 2,400. In contrast, the metropolitan counties,
with a decrease of about 3,100 in the number of banks from the end of
1920 to midyear 1958, showed an increase during the same period of
about 4,600 in the number of branches.
Between 1920 and 1958, the total number of commercial banking
offices in non-metropolitan counties declined by nearly 11,500; those in
metropolitan areas increased by 1,500. In 1920, 79 percent of all com
mercial banks and 77 percent of all commercial banking offices were in
the non-metropolitan counties; in 1958, 76 percent of all commercial
banks but only 60 percent of all commercial banking offices were in the
non-metropolitan counties. That is, in 1920, 21 percent of the commercial
banks and 23 percent of commercial banking offices were in counties
that in 1958 were classified as metropolitan; while in the latter year, 24
percent of the commercial banks and 40 percent of their offices were in
the metropolitan areas.

Location of banking offices by size of center. The number of
localities in which there is only a single banking office is sometimes cited
as evidence of lack of competition. In using such figures careful attention
must be given to the ability of such places to support more than one
banking office. Table 25 gives a distribution of banking offices on June
30, 1958, according to the number of offices in the centers in which
they were located and the population of those centers. This table differs
from previous tabulations of this sort by treating each metropolitan
area, rather than each city or town in such metropolitan areas, as a
single center. In earlier tabulations, including those published in the
annual reports of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, numerous
banking offices located in metropolitan areas, but not within the limits
of the principal city therein, were classified as located in a place with
only one or two banking offices, although in fact the patrons of such
offices had convenient access to other offices within the metropolitan
area. Those tabulations therefore gave an erroneous impression of the
number of places served by only one or two banking offices.
It will be noted from this table that on June 30, 1958, 7,703 of the
21,736 commercial banking offices in the continental United States,
excluding “ facilities” at Federal Government establishments, were
located in population centers with only one banking office. Put another
48
FEDERAL DEPOSIT INSURANCE CORPORATION
way, there were 7,703 population centers with only one banking office
each. However, almost all of these centers had a population of less than
5,000 and three-fifths of such centers had a population of less than 1,000;
some of them had less than 250 people. Thus although it is statistically
correct to say that in each of these centers there was only one office
available to provide banking services, this fact must be tempered by
the realization that in most communities of this size it is probably im
practicable, because unprofitable, for more than one banking office to
operate successfully. Nevertheless, the figures do suggest that some
population centers may be “ underbanked” in the sense that an increase
in banking facilities could be supported and would be advantageous to
the communities. However, no final conclusion can be drawn with re
spect to the need for additional facilities in any particular case without
going beyond the data available in this table to consider such questions
as the existing availability of banking facilities in nearby communities.

Counties without banking facilities. The importance of considering
the availability of banking facilities in nearby communities, when ex
amining the need for such facilities in a place with only one banking office
or none, may be illustrated by some of the counties in the nation with
no banking office. In June 1958, there were 62 such counties, ranging in
population in 1950 from 241 to over 17,000. The five with the largest
populations in 1950 were as follows:
Alleghany County, Virginia, with a population of 17,000, is served by banks in an
independent city (Covington) almost in its center, and another (Clifton Forge) at ite
border.1
ACCESSIBILITY OF BANKING OFFICES
49
Sandoval County, New Mexico, with a population of 12,000, is situated north of
Albuquerque and west of Santa Fe, both of which are in adjoining counties near the
borders of Sandoval County, with the most populous portion of Sandoval in its south
eastern corner directly between those two cities.
Spotsylvania County, Virginia, with a population of 12,000, has the independent
city of Fredericksburg on its northeastern border.1
Torrance County, New Mexico, with a population of 8,000, has its populous portion
in its western side, which adjoins Bernalillo County in which Albuquerque is located.
Oconee County, Georgia, with a population of 7,000, is a small county not far from
Athens, located in an adjoining county.
In all these cases, it is apparent that the size of population of the
county cannot be used as a criterion for concluding that banking services
are inadequate, though the availability of banking services in nearby
cities also cannot be taken as conclusive evidence that banking services
are reasonably available and adequate.
R e l a t iv e P o sit io n

The concern which has been expressed over the decline in number of
banks has been accompanied by anxiety about concentration of banking
services, for the nation as a whole or in various sections or localities, in
the hands of a relatively small number of banks. To understand what
changes have occurred, it is necessary to distinguish between various
aspects of concentration and to make use of tabulations not hitherto
available.
Increasing size of banks. The generally larger size of banks in
recent years as compared with that of a quarter of a century ago, and the
accompanying greater numbers and percentages of the banks in the
upper categories and the reduced numbers and percentages in the smaller
categories of standardized size groups, have been cited as an indication
of increasing concentration in banking.2 Such data, however, may reflect
normal growth or wartime expansion without indicating any change in
concentration. In a growing economy banks furnish the largest part of the
money supply and therefore should be expected to grow in size, and in
wartime the government may pursue financial policies resulting in an
abnormal rate of expansion of bank assets and deposits. The growth in
average size of banks in the United States has been due primarily to
these factors. For example, the average commercial bank increased in
size from $2.6 million deposits in 1934 to $16.0 million in deposits at
the end of 1958. If there had been no change in number of banks during
this period the average size of a commercial bank would have increased
1 In Virginia, counties and independent cities are mutually exclusive areas, and county tabulations
therefore exclude data for cities which are adjacent to or surrounded by a county.
*

Judiciary, op. cit., pp. 25-26.

to $13.9 million, or more than five times as large as in 1934. The growth
in average size of banks has therefore been dependent to only a minor
extent upon the decrease in number of banks. As an indicator, therefore,
banks with, say, $100 million of deposits in 1934 should be compared
with banks of more than $500 million of deposits in 1958.
It is possible, of course, for concentration to increase even though the
average size of banks merely keeps pace with the expansion of the banking
system as a whole. That is, banks toward the lower end of the size scale
may be smaller relative to the average, and those toward the upper end
of the size scale larger relative to the average, than at some former time.
The hundred and the ten largest banks. A measure of change in
the relative position of banks frequently used is the change in the pro
portion of total commercial bank deposits held by a selected number,
such as 100 or 10, of the largest commercial banks. This avoids the use of
banks in standardized size groups. Use of this measure indicates that
concentration increased during the 1920’s and 1930's, decreased during
the 1940’s, and was approximately unchanged during the 1950’s. This
is shown by Table 26 which gives for selected years from 1920 to 1958 the
percentage of deposits of all commercial banks in continental United
States held by the largest 100 and the largest 10 banks.1 At the end of
1958, by number, the 100 largest banks comprised 0.74 percent, and the
10 largest 0.074 percent of all commercial banks in continental United
States. The 100 largest held 46 percent and the 10 largest 20 percent of
the deposits of all commercial banks. These ratios are slightly higher
than in 1949, but substantially below those in 1934 and 1940.
Data for a given number of the largest banks do not give as accurate
a measure of concentration as those for a selected percentage of the
banks. The lower part of Table 26, therefore, gives the proportion of
deposits of all commercial banks held by the largest one-half of 1 percent,
and by the largest one-tenth of 1 percent, of such banks. These figures
substantiate the conclusion that there was less concentration of the
banking business in the largest banks in 1958 than in 1929 or 1940.
Group banking. The degree of concentrated control of banking in
the United States is somewhat greater than the figures in the preceding
table indicate. This is because of the development, over a period of
several decades, of group and chain banking. Group banking refers to
control through stock ownership by a corporation, trust, or similar
organization; chain banking to ownership of stock in a number of banks
by one individual, or one family, or by a small group of persons.2 Data
1
It is also supported by annual tabulations based on deposits of large banks as published in The
American Banker, though such tabulations, because of the inclusion of deposits of foreign branches,
exaggerate by about one percentage point the proportion of deposits of all commercial banks held by
the largest banks.

Table 27 shows for 1934, 1940, and 1958 measures of bank concen
tration similar to those in the preceding table, except that the deposits
of banks that were members of a group have been tabulated as though
they were branches of the leading bank in the group.1 Tabulation of the
data in this way shows that at the end of 1958 one-half of 1 percent of
the banks or groups held 43 percent of the deposits of all commercial
banks, compared with 40 percent held by the same percentage of the
banks. Similarly, one-tenth of 1 percent of the banks and groups held
24 percent of the deposits of all commercial banks, compared with 22
percent held by the same percentage of the banks. The data available for
chains indicate that these percentages would be increased very little by
treating chains also as though they were branch systems.2 The data for
banks and groups, like those for banks, show considerably less concen
tration in 1958 than in 1934 or 1940.
Relative position o f banks by States. It is well known that banking
concentration in the United States is far below that in other countries,
such as Canada, Great Britain, and Germany, where nationwide branch
banking is permitted. In the United States, similarly, there is a tendency
for the greatest concentration to occur in the States with statewide
branch banking. This is illustrated by Table 28, which shows for four
dates the percentages of deposits in the largest bank and the largest
five banks in each State, with the States grouped in three categories:
those in which statewide branch banking is prevalent, those in which
limited area branch banking is prevalent, and those in which unit banking
is prevalent throughout the State.
In the statewide branch banking States the largest five banks in 1958
held from 35 percent to 99 percent of the total deposits of all commercial
banks in the State. In States with limited area branch banking the cor
responding range was from 25 percent to 52 percent and in the States
with unit banking predominant from 18 percent to 44 percent. In the
majority of the States with statewide branch banking the largest bank
alone held more than 30 percent of the total deposits of all commercial
banks in the State. In the States with limited area branch banking or
unit banking no bank held so large a proportion.
In all of the States except Florida, Louisiana, and New Hampshire,
there was a greater concentration of deposits in the largest bank, and
in the largest five banks, in 1958 than in 1920. However, most of this
increase occurred between 1920 and 1934, and almost all of it between
1920 and 1940. From 1940 to 1958 the percentage of all commercial bank

deposits in the largest bank declined in 31 States, remained the same in
1 State, and increased in 16 States. During the same period the percentage
of all commercial bank deposits in the largest five banks declined in 30
States, and increased in 18 States. Of the States with an increased con
centration, whether measured by the largest bank or the largest five banks,
the majority were in the group with statewide branch banking prevalent.
Figures are also given in Table 28 to show for 1934,1940, and 1958 bank
concentration in each State if the members of any bank group in a State
are tabulated as a bank and branches in that State.1 These data differ
in one important respect from the tabulations by banks without regard to
group banking: they show much more concentration in some of the States
in which unit banking is predominant throughout the State. However,
they show the same results with respect to changes over time, namely,
that in most of the States the largest bank or bank group, and the largest
five banks or bank groups, held in 1958 smaller proportions than in
1940 of the deposits of all commercial banks in the State.
Relative position o f banks in leading cities or m etropolitan
areas. Another frequently used method of indicating bank concentration
pertains to the proportion of all bank assets or deposits in a given city
held by the largest bank, or by a few of the largest banks. A tabulation
of this kind was presented in a statement before the Senate Banking and
Currency Committee considering bank merger legislation.* Such a tabula
tion spotlights those cities in which the degree of bank concentration
may seem excessive. However, such figures may be misleading because
they do not take into account banking facilities in the full metropolitan
areas of the respective cities.
In many cities, as in the majority of the States, there has been a de
crease in banking concentration in recent years, even if no allowance is
made for the inclusion of metropolitan areas. Of the 53 cities included
in the tabulation as of June 30, 1956, presented to the Senate Banking
and Currency Committee, two-fifths had less bank concentration than on
June 30, 1936, whether the concentration is measured by the proportion
of assets held by the largest bank or by the largest five banks in the city.
If only the proportion of assets held by the largest bank is considered,
in over three-fifths of the cities the largest bank owned a smaller per
centage of the assets in 1956 than in 1936. These findings have no bearing,
of course, on the question of whether there was an excessive degree of
concentration on either date in many cities; the point is simply that
measurements of this type for a single recent date may lead to the in
ference that concentration in major cities is increasing, whereas the
facts do not warrant such a conclusion.
* Data are not available for making this kind of tabulation for 1920.

1 Principal counties in 47 of the 57 most populous metropolitan areas in continental United States, as defined by the Bureau of the Budget, January 15, 1957. The metropolitan
areas to which the table pertains are those with a population in 1950 of over 300,000, excluding 10 which are in States with statewide branch banking prevalent. For this table the New
York-Northeastern New Jersey metropolitan area is divided between the New York and the New Jersey portions, so that 48 areas are listed. In these areas, as defined by the Bureau
of the Budget, there are 139 counties and independent cities and the District of Columbia. Of these, 66 counties and independent cities and the District of Columbia are included in
this tabulation as principal counties. For treatment of counties in New England States (where metropolitan areas are defined in terms of cities and towns) see note 2 to Table 24.
* Figures in parentheses indicate percentages if banks in a group are tabulated as a bank and branches in the area.

A more comprehensive tabulation relating to banking concentration by
cities is given in Table 29, which shows for 48 metropolitan areas the
percentage of all commercial bank deposits in the principal counties of
the area that were held by the largest bank, and by the largest five
banks, in 1920, 1934, and 1958.1 The 48 metropolitan areas are in States
in which limited area branch banking, or unit banking throughout the
State, is prevalent. Similar tabulations from available data for ten
metropolitan areas in the States in which statewide branch banking is
prevalent are not presented because they would be meaningless.2
At the end of 1958 the percentage of the deposits of the banks in the
principal metropolitan area counties held by the largest bank ranged from
16 percent to 62 percent in the 48 metropolitan areas; the corresponding
range in 1934 was from 10 percent to 71 percent, and in 1920 from 7
percent to 44 percent. The percentage of deposits held by the largest
five banks in the respective areas ranged from 50 percent to 100 percent
in 1958, from 38 percent to 100 percent in 1934, and from 30 percent to
93 percent in 1920. These ranges indicate a tendency for an increasing
concentration from 1920 to 1934 and suggest that there may have been a
similar tendency from 1934 to 1958. But when the data for the individual
metropolitan areas are examined, it is clear that there was considerable
difference between the two periods. In all but two of the 48 areas the
largest bank held a larger proportion of the deposits of all the banks
in 1934 than in 1920, and in all but one the proportion held by the largest
five banks also increased. But in 29 of the areas, the largest bank in 1958
held a smaller proportion than in 1934 of the deposits of all the banks;
and in 25 of the areas, the largest five banks in 1958 held a smaller pro
portion than in 1934 of the deposits of all the banks. Evidently, in the
majority of these metropolitan areas, any increased concentration since
1934 consequent upon bank mergers has been more than offset by ex
pansion of the smaller banks of the area.
In 19 of the 48 metropolitan areas tabulation of the banks in a group
as though they were a bank and branches yields higher figures for per
centages of the deposits of the area held by the largest bank or bank
group, or by the largest five banks or bank groups, or both, for 1934 or
1958, or both of these years, than for the largest bank or the largest
five banks. However, as in the case of the data by States, these do not
affect the conclusion that in a majority of the metropolitan areas the
degree of concentration of deposits in one or in five banks or bank groups
was less in 1958 than in 1934.
i
Tabulations for 1940, included in the preceding table by States, are not given because tabulations
pertaining to all banks by county are not available. The State data suggest that the bank concentration
in metropolitan areas was higher in 1940 than in 1934.
*
This is because they would pertain to the deposits in branches throughout the State, with the
banks grouped according to the head office county. Tabulations of commercial bank deposits in offices
located in each county are available for some recent years, but the data for individual banks from which
the county tabulations are derived are not available at the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation,
and comparable data were not reported for any pre-World War II date.

A general analysis of changes in bank competition during the last
several decades is beyond the scope of this report on changes in number
of banking offices and the relative position of banks. Nevertheless, the
two subjects are related, since data on changes in the number and dis
tribution of banks and branches are essential, though not sufficient, for
an appraisal of changes in competition among banks. It has been asserted
in recent years that there has been a marked decrease in bank competition
as a direct result of the decline in number of banks since 1920. Information
collected for this report does not support such an assumption.
The decline in number of banks during the 1920’s and early 1930’s is
largely attributable to the elimination of uneconomic units which could
not survive economic changes and excessive competition of too many
banks. The significant question is whether there has been a decline in
competition over and above that attributable to the elimination of
uneconomic units in that period.
The three measures of concentration used above—proportion of de
posits held by a specific number or percentage of banks in the nation,
the proportion of deposits in each State held by the largest bank and the
largest five banks in the State, and the proportion of deposits in the
leading counties in each of 48 metropolitan areas held by the largest
bank and the largest five banks in the area—all point toward the con
clusion that there has been no general increase in bank concentration
during the past twenty or twenty-five years. If increasing concentration
is taken as evidence of declining competition, the data suggest that the
banking system of the nation in the late 1950’s, though less competitive
than in 1920, was more competitive than in the middle 1930’s or early
1940,s.
However, it should be kept in mind that there is no fixed relationship
between changes in concentration and changes in competition. Other
developments in the economy also have an impact on the degree of com
petition. To what extent, for example, has the quite remarkable change in
transportation and communication facilities since 1921 altered the com
petitive picture? Is the banking situation in a town which had three
banks in 1921 less competitive today with only one bank, but with two
banks within easy driving distance? Banks in neighboring towns, in
neighboring counties, and in neighboring States often compete with the
local bank in today’s market, at least for certain types of business, but
there is no way of measuring the extent of this competition, nor is it
possible to compare the degree of such competition with that which may
have existed in 1921.
60
FEDERAL DEPOSIT INSURANCE CORPORATION
fg^Quite apart from the possibility of competition from banks located
near a particular community, a reduction in number of banks within a
community will not, by itself, justify a conclusion that competitiortjhas
been diminished. For example, when the number of banks is reduced
from five to three, is competition increased or decreased thereby if the
result is three strong banks rather than five weak banks? Or if a com
munity had two banks in 1921 and now has in their places two branches,
each of a different bank, is competition for the banking business in the
community likely to be any less between the two branches than it was be
tween the two banks? Still another element in the competitive picture
is the continuing growth of metropolitan areas. Many local communities
which have undergone a reduction in the number of banks during the
past forty years have, during the same period, become a part of a metro
politan area, and now have more ready access than formerly to a broad
range of banking services.
From the point of view of an individual bank customer, the decline in
number of banks since 1921 may or may not have altered the competitive
picture, the answer depending in part on the magnitude of the customer’s
own business. For large business concerns it seems quite probable that
there has been an increase during the past 40 years in the competition
among banks for their business. That is to say, the larger banks, mostly
located in large cities, compete with each other for the patronage of
concerns doing a nationwide business. With the greatly increased facilities
of transportation and communication of recent years, there is more
competition of this sort now than formerly, regardless of the changes
which have occurred in the number of banks or the number and location
of banking offices.
However defined, the banking “ giants” competing on a nationwide
basis appear to be sufficiently numerous to maintain active competition
among themselves. Banking is perhaps the only industry in which at
tempts to demonstrate a decline in competition invoke the size of the
100 largest—or 50 or 25 or 10 largest—units in the industry in the nation.
In any other industry—say automobile, steel, or electronics—this many
“ giants” would be taken as prima facie evidence of a high degree of
competition.
Of course, not all bank customers have access to the nation’s large
banks; the majority depend upon banks in their own area for such
facilities and services as they require. For an individual or a small firm,
a reduction in the number of banks operating in a community from two
to one may effectively remove the only nearby alternative source of
bank credit. On the other hand, some of the requirements of such bank
customers can be handled by other financial institutions, which have
grown in considerable importance in many areas of the country, or by

61
banks at a greater distance away than would have been feasible a few
decades ago.
It must also be recognized that though we have a changing econon^
that increases the need for banking services in most parts of the nation,
some localities are adversely affected and as a consequence some in
dependent banks are destined to disappear. New highways, particularly
those with limited access, may divert the patronage of some local banks
to other places because of changes in the flow and routing of traffic.
Working forces of an industrial establishment that formed a significant
part of the clientele of a local bank may be curtailed because of technical
developments, or disappear entirely with the closing of a plant. Absorption
of the remaining business of a local bank caught in such a situation may
be the only reasonable solution to its difficulties.
No easy or simple answer can be given to the question of the extent
to which bank competition has been affected by changes in the number
of banks and in the relative position of banks since 1921. If there have
been significant changes in the nature of competition among banks, or
an appreciable reduction in the intensity of competition among them, the
evidence of such changes must come from something other than an
examination of changes in the number of banks and in their relative
position.

AN ACT
To amend the Federal Deposit Insurance Act to require Federal approval for
mergers and consolidations of insured banks.
Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America
in Congress assembled, That subsection (c) of section 18 of the Federal Deposit In
surance Act is amended by striking out the third sentence and inserting in lieu thereof
the following: “ No insured bank shall merge or consolidate with any other insured
bank or, either directly or indirectly, acquire the assets of, or assume liability to pay
any deposits made in, any other insured bank without the prior written consent
(i) of the Comptroller of the Currency if the acquiring, assuming, or resulting bank
is to be a national bank or a District bank, or (ii) of the Board of Governors of the
Federal Reserve System if the acquiring, assuming, or resulting bank is to be a State
member bank (except a District bank), or (iii) of the Corporation if the acquiring,
assuming, or resulting bank is to be a nonmember insured bank (except a District
bank). Notice of any proposed merger, consolidation, acquisition of assets, or assump
tion of liabilities, in a form approved by the Comptroller, the Board, or the Corpo
ration, as the case may be, shall (except in a case where the furnishing of reports
under the seventh sentence of this subsection is not required) be published, at appro
priate intervals during a period (prior to the approval or disapproval of the transaction)
at least as long as the period allowed under such sentence for furnishing such reports,
in a newspaper of general circulation in the community or communities where the
main offices of the banks involved are located (or, if there is no such newspaper in
any such community, then in the newspaper of general circulation published nearest
thereto). In granting or withholding consent under this subsection, the Comptroller,
the Board, or the Corporation, as the case may be, shall consider the financial history
and condition of each of the banks involved, the adequacy of its capital structure,
its future earnings prospects, the general character of its management, the convenience
and needs of the community to be served, and whether or not its corporate powers
are consistent with the purposes of this Act. In the case of a merger, consolidation,
acquisition of assets, or assumption of liabilities, the appropriate agency shall also
take into consideration the effect of the transaction on competition (including
any tendency toward monopoly), and shall not approve the transaction unless, after
considering all of such factors, it finds the transaction to be in the public interest.
In the interests of uniform standards, before acting on a merger, consolidation, ac
quisition of assets, or assumption of liabilities under this subsection, the agency
(unless it finds that it must act immediately in order to prevent the probable failure
of one of the banks involved) shall request a report on the competitive factors involved
from the Attorney General and the other two banking agencies referred to in this
subsection (which report shall be furnished within thirty calendar days of the date
on which it is requested, or within ten calendar days of such date if the requesting
agency advises the Attorney General and the other two banking agencies that an
emergency exists requiring expeditious action). The Comptroller, the Board, and the
65

FEDERAL DEPOSIT INSURANCE CORPORATION
Corporation shall each include in its annual report to the Congress a description of
each merger, consolidation, acquisition of assets, or assumption of liabilities approved
by it during the period covered by the report, along with the following information:
the name and total resources of each bank involved; whether a report has been sub
mitted by the Attorney General hereunder, and, if so, a summary by the Attorney
General of the substance of such report; and a statement by the Comptroller, the
Board, or the Corporation, as the case may be, of the basis for its approval.”

AN ACT
To provide for a simpler method of determining assessments under the Federal
Deposit Insurance Act, and for other purposes.
Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Revresentatives of the United States of America
in Congress assembled, That subsection (1) of section 3 of the Federal Deposit Insurance
Act, as amended (12 U.S.C. 1813(1)), is amended to read as follows:
“ (1) The term ‘deposit* means—
“ (1) the unpaid balance of money or its equivalent received or held by a bank
in the usual course of business and for which it has given or is obligated to give credit,
either conditionally or unconditionally, to a commercial, checking, savings, time, or
thrift account, or which is evidenced by its certificate of deposit, or a check or draft
drawn against a deposit account and certified by the bank, or a letter of credit or a
traveler's check on which the bank is primarily liable: Provided, That, without limiting
the generality of the term ‘money or its equivalent', any such account or instrument
must be regarded as evidencing the receipt of the equivalent of money when credited
or issued in exchange for checks or drafts or for a promissory note upon which the
person obtaining any such credit or instrument is primarily or secondarily liable,
or for a charge against a deposit account, or in settlement of checks, drafts, or other
instruments forwarded to such bank for collection,
“ (2) trust funds as defined in this Act received or held by such bank, whether held
in the trust department or held or deposited in any other department of such bank,
“ (3) money received or held by a bank, or the credit given for money or its equiva
lent received or held by a bank, in the usual course of business for a special or specific
purpose, regardless of the legal relationship thereby established, including without
being limited to, escrow funds, funds held as security for an obligation due to the
bank or others (including funds held as dealers reserves) or for securities loaned by
the bank, funds deposited by a debtor to meet maturing obligations, funds deposited
as advance payment on subscriptions to United States Government securities, funds
held for distribution or purchase of securities, funds held to meet its acceptances or
letters of credit, and withheld taxes: Provided, That there shall not be included funds
which are received by the bank for immediate application to the reduction of an
indebtedness to the receiving bank, or under condition that the receipt thereof im
mediately reduces or extinguishes such an indebtedness,
FEDERAL LEGISLATION
67
“ (4) outstanding draft (including advice or authorization to charge bank’s balance
in another bank), cashier’s check, money order, or other officer’s check issued in
the usual course of business for any purpose, including without being limited to those
issued in payment for services, dividends, or purchases, and
“ (5) such other obligations of a bank as the Board of Directors, after consultation
with the Comptroller of the Currency and the Board of Governors of the Federal
Reserve System, shall find and prescribe by regulation to be deposit liabilities by
general usage: Provided f urther, That any obligation of a bank which is payable only
at an office of the bank located outside of the States of the United States, the District
of Columbia, Puerto Rico, Guam, and the Virgin Islands, shall not be a deposit for any
of the purposes of this Act or be included as part of total deposits or of an insured
deposit.”
S e c . 2. Subsections (a), (b), and (c) of section 7 of the Federal Deposit Insurance
Act (12 U.S.C. 1817 (a), (b), and (c)) are amended to read as follows:
“ (a)(1) Each insured State nonmember bank (except a District bank) shall make
to the Corporation reports of condition which shall be in such form and shall contain
such information as the Board of Directors may require. Such reports shall be made
to the Corporation on the dates selected as provided in paragraph (3) of this subsection
and the deposit liabilities shall be reported therein in accordance with and pursuant
to paragraphs (4) and (5) of this subsection. The Board of Directors may call for
additional reports of condition on dates to be fixed by it and may call for such other
reports as the Board may from time to time require. The Board of Directors may
require reports of condition 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 ten days shall be subject to a penalty of not more than $100
for each day of such failure recoverable by the Corporation for its use.
“ (2) The Corporation shall have access to reports of examination made by, and
reports of condition made to, the Comptroller of the Currency or any Federal Reserve
bank and to all revisions of reports of condition made to either of them, and they
shall promptly advise the Corporation of any revisions or changes in respect to deposit
liabilities made or required to be made in any report of condition. The Corporation
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.
“ (3) Each insured State nonmember bank (except a District bank) shall make
to the Corporation, each insured national bank and each insured District bank shall
make to the Comptroller of the Currency, and each insured State member bank shall
make to the Federal Reserve bank of which it is a member, four reports of condition
annually upon dates which shall be selected by the Chairman of the Board of Directors,
the Comptroller of the Currency, and the Chairman of the Board of Governors of
the Federal Reserve System, or a majority thereof. The dates selected shall be the
same for all insured banks, except that when any of said reporting dates is a non
business day for any bank, the preceding business day shall be its reporting date.
Two dates shall be selected within the semiannual period of January to June inclusive,
and the reports on such dates shall be the basis for the certified statement to be filed
in July pursuant to subsection (c) of this section, and two dates shall be selected
within the semiannual period of July to December inclusive, and the reports on
such dates shall be the basis for the certified statement to be filed in January pursuant
to subsection (c) of this section. The deposit liabilities shall be reported in said reports
68
FEDERAL DEPOSIT INSURANCE CORPORATION
of condition in accordance with and pursuant to paragraphs (4) and (5) of this sub
section, and such other information shall be reported therein as may be required by
the respective agencies. Each said report of condition shall contain a declaration by
the president, a vice president, the cashier or the treasurer, or by any other officer
designated by the board of directors or trustees of the reporting bank to make such
declaration, that the report is true and correct to the best of his knowledge and belief.
The correctness of said report of condition shall be attested by the signatures of at
least three of the directors or trustees of the reporting bank other than the officer
making such declaration, or by at least two if there are not more than three directors
or trustees, with the declaration that the report has been examined by them and to
the best of their knowledge and belief is true and correct. At the time of making said
reports of condition each insured national, District and State member bank shall
furnish to the Corporation a copy thereof containing such signed declaration and
attestations. Nothing herein shall preclude any of the foregoing agencies from re
quiring the banks under its jurisdiction to make additional reports of condition
at any time.
“ (4) In the reports of condition required to be made by paragraph (3) of this
subsection, each insured bank shall report the total amount of the liability of the
bank for deposits in the main office and in any branch located in any State of the
United States, the District of Columbia, any Territory of the United States, Puerto
Rico, Guam, or the Virgin Islands, according to the definition of the term ‘deposit
in and pursuant to subsection (1) of section 3 of this Act, without any deduction for
indebtedness of depositors or creditors or any deduction for cash items in the process
of collection drawn on others than the reporting bank: Provided, That the bank in
reporting such deposits may (i) subtract from the deposit balance due to any bank
the deposit balance due from the same bank (other than trust funds deposited by
either bank) and any cash items in the process of collection due from or due to such
banks shall be included in determining such net balance, except that balances of time
deposits of any bank and any balances standing to the credit of private banks, of
banks in foreign countries, of foreign branches of other American banks, and of
American branches of foreign banks shall be reported gross without any such sub
traction, and (ii) exclude any deposits received in any office of the bank for deposit
in any other office of the bank: And 'provided further, That outstanding drafts (in
cluding advices and authorizations to charge bank’s balance in another bank) drawn
in the regular course of business by the reporting bank on banks need not be reported
as deposit liabilities. The amount of trust funds held in the bank’s own trust depart
ment, which the reporting bank keeps segregated and apart from its general assets
and does not use in the conduct of its business, shall not be included in the total deposits
in such reports, but shall be separately stated in such reports.
“ (5) The deposits to be reported on such reports of condition shall be segregated
between (i) time and savings deposits and (ii) demand deposits. For this purpose
and for the computation of assessments provided in subsection (b) of this section,
the time and savings deposits shall consist of time certificates of deposit, time depositsopen account, deposits accumulated for the payment of personal loans, and savings
deposits; and demand deposits shall consist of all deposits other than time and savings
deposits.
“ (6) The Board of Directors, after consultation with the Comptroller of the Cur
rency and the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, may by regulation
define the terms ‘cash items’ and ‘process of collection’, and shall classify deposits
as ‘time’, ‘savings’, and ‘demand’ deposits, for the purposes of this section.
“ (b)(1) The annual assessment rate shall be one-twelfth of 1 per centum. Except
FEDERAL LEGISLATION
69
as provided in subsection (c)(2) of this section, the semiannual assessment due from
any insured bank for any semiannual period shall be equal to one-half the annual
assessment rate multiplied by such bank’s average assessment base for the immediately
preceding semiannual period.
“ (2) For the purposes of this section the term ‘semiannual period’ means a period
beginning on January 1 of any calendar year and ending on June 30 of the same year,
or a period beginning on July 1 of any calendar year and ending on December 31 of
the same year.
“ (3) A bank’s average assessment base for any semiannual period shall be the
average of such bank’s assessment bases for the two dates, falling within such semi
annual period, for which the bank is required to submit reports of condition pursuant
to paragraph (3) of subsection (a) of this section (referred to hereafter in this section
as ‘reports of condition’).
“ (4) A bank’s assessment base for any date shall be equal to the bank’s liability
for deposits (including the deposits of any other bank for which it has assumed lia
bility) as reported in its report of condition for such date, plus the assessment base
additions set forth in paragraph (5), and less the assessment base deductions set
forth in paragraph (6).
“ (5) The assessment base additions shall be the amounts of—
“ (A) uninvested trust funds required to be separately stated in the bank’s
report of condition; and
“ (B) any deposits received in any office of the bank for deposit in any other
office of the bank located in the United States, the District of Columbia, Puerto
Pdco, Guam, or the Virgin Islands, except those which have been included in deposits
in the report of condition or which have been offset in the report of condition by
an equal amount of cash items in its possession drawn on itself (on the same type
of deposit as those offset) and not charged against deposit liabilities at the close
of business on the date as of which the report of condition is made, either in their
actual amount as shown on the books of the bank, or, if not so shown, in an amount
determined by means of an experience factor pursuant to regulations prescribed
by the Board of Directors.
“ (6) The assessment base deductions shall be the amounts of—
“ (A) cash items in the bank’s possession, drawn on itself, which have not been
charged against deposit liabilities at the close of business on the date as of which
the report of condition is made, either in their actual amount as shown on the books
of the bank, or, if not so shown, in an amount determined by means of an experience
factor pursuant to regulations prescribed by the Board of Directors;
“ (B) deposits included in reported deposit liabilities which are accumulated
for the payment of personal loans and are assigned or pledged to assure repayment
of the loans at maturity;
“ (C) 1 per centum of the bank’s adjusted time and savings deposits (as defined
in paragraph (7)); and
“ (D) 16% per centum of the bank’s adjusted demand deposits (as defined
in paragraph (8)).
Each insured bank, as a condition to the right to make any such deduction in de
termining its assessment base, shall maintain such records as will readily permit
verification of the correctness of its assessment base. No insured bank shall be required
to retain such records for such purpose for a period in excess of five years from the
70
FEDERAL DEPOSIT INSURANCE CORPORATION
date of the filing of any certified statement, except that when there is a dispute be
tween the insured bank and the Corporation over the amount of any assessment
the bank shall retain such records until final determination of the issue.
“ (7) The term 'the bank’s adjusted time and savings deposits* means the amount
of the bank’s time and savings deposits as reported in its report of condition, as
adjusted—
“ (A) either by adding the amount of all deposits of the type described in subparagraph (5) (B) or, if the bank elects to ascertain the respective amounts of such
deposits creditable to time and savings deposits and to demand deposits, by adding
the amount creditable to time and savings deposits;
“ (B) by subtracting, if the bank elects to ascertain the respective amounts
of its items of the type described in subparagraph (6) (A) chargeable against time
and savings deposits and against demand deposits, the amount chargeable against
time and savings deposits; and
“ (C) by subtracting the amount of all deposits of the type described in subparagraph (6)(B).
“ (8) The term ‘the bank’s adjusted demand deposits’ means the amount of the
bank’s demand deposits as reported in its report of condition, as adjusted—
“ (A) by adding the amount of all deposits of the type described in subparagraph
(5)(A);
“ (B) by adding, if the bank elects to ascertain the respective amounts of its
deposits of the type described in subparagraph (5) (B) creditable to time and savings
deposits and to demand deposits, the amount creditable to demand deposits; and
“ (C) either by subtracting the amount of all items of the type described in
subparagraph (6) (A), or, if the bank elects to ascertain the respective amounts
of such items chargeable against time and savings deposits and against demand
deposits, by subtracting the amount chargeable against demand deposits.
“ (c)(1) On or before the last day of the first month following each semiannual
period, each insured bank which became insured prior to the beginning of such period
shall file with the Corporation a certified statement showing its average assessment
base for such period, and the amount of the semiannual assessment due to the Corpo
ration for the semiannual period which begins with such month. Each such bank
shall pay to the Corporation the amount of the semiannual assessment it is required
to certify.
“ (2) A bank shall not be required to pay any assessment for the semiannual period
in which it becomes an insured bank. On or before the last day of the first month
following the semiannual period during which any bank becomes an insured bank,
such bank shall—
“ (A) file with the Corporation a certified statement showing, as its assessment
base for such period, its assessment base for the last date, if any, within such period
for which it was required to submit a report of condition, or
“ (B) if such bank became an insured bank after the last date in such period
for which a report of condition was required, such bank shall make a special report
of condition as of the last day of such semiannual period, and shall file with the
Corporation a certified statement showing, as its assessment base for such period,
its assessment base for the date of such special report.
The semiannual assessment due from such bank for the semiannual period which
FEDERAL LEGISLATION
71
begins with such month shall be equal to one-half the annual assessment rate multiplied
by the assessment base computed pursuant to subparagraph (A) or (B) of this para
graph, and the amount of such assessment shall be shown on such certified statement.
Each such bank shall pay to the Corporation the amount of the semiannual assessment
it is required to certify.
“ (3) The certified statements required to be filed with the Corporation under
paragraphs (1) and (2) of this subsection shall be in such form and set forth such
supporting information as the Board of Directors shall prescribe and shall be certified
by the president of the bank or any other officer designated by its board of directors
or trustees that to the best of his knowledge and belief the statement is true, correct
and complete and in accordance with the Federal Deposit Insurance Act and regula
tions issued thereunder. The assessment payments required from insured banks
under paragraphs (1) and (2) 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 state
ment setting forth the amount of assessment.
“ (4) Except as otherwise provided in this section, the Board of Directors shall
prescribe all needful rules and regulations for the enforcement of this section. The
Board of Directors may limit the retroactive effect, if any, of any of its rules or regu
lations.”
Sec. 3. Section 7 of the Federal Deposit Insurance Act (12 U.S.C. 1817) is amended
by substituting for the date “December 31,1950” in subsection (d) the date “ December
31, 1961” ; by substituting for the numerical figure “40” in subsection (d) the numerical
figure “33%” ; by substituting for the words “fails to file” in subsection (f) the words

A u t h o r it y :
§ 327.1 Reporting of assessment base additions for unposted credits and deductions
for unposted debits.
(a) Definitions. (1) The term “ unposted credit” as used in this section means
any deposit received in any office of the bank for deposit in any other office of the
bank located in any State of the United States, the District of Columbia, Puerto
Rico, Guam, or the Virgin Islands, except those which have been included in total
deposits in the report of conditions or which have been offset in the report of condition
by an equal amount of cash items in its possession drawn on itself (on the same type
of deposits as those offset) and not charged against deposit liabilities at the close of
business on the date as of which the report of condition is made*
(2) The term “ unposted debit” as used in this section means a cash item in the
bank's possession drawn on itself which has been paid or credited and is chargeable
against, but has not been charged against, deposit liabilities at the close of business
on the date as of which the report of condition is made.
(3) The above terms “ unposted credit” and “ unposted debit” do not include items
which have been reflected in deposit accounts on the general ledger and in the report
of condition, although they have not been credited or debited to individual deposit
accounts.
(b) Methods of reporting unposted credits and unposted debits. (1) Each insured
bank shall report unposted credits in reports of condition for addition to the assess
ment base in the following manner:
(1) When the records of the bank show the actual amounts of unposted credits
segregated between demand deposits and time and savings deposits, the actual segre
gated amounts thereof must be reported; or
(ii) When the records of the bank show the actual amount of all unposted credits
with no such segregation thereof, the actual amount thereof must be reported, for
addition to time and savings deposits, unless the bank determines by experience
factors and reports the amounts of the unposted credits so segregated; or
(iii) When the records of the bank do not show the actual amount of unposted
credits either in total or in segregated amounts, the amounts of unposted credits must
be determined by experience factor or factors and reported in total amount for addition
to time and savings deposits or in segregated amounts.
(2) Unposted debits may be reported in the same manner for deduction from
the assessment base, except that unsegregated amounts may be reported for deduction
only from demand deposits.
(c) Bank reporting actual amounts. When actual amounts are shown on the records
of the bank, an insured bank shall separately state in the report of condition for
additions to deposits for assessment purposes the actual amount of unposted credits
74
FEDERAL DEPOSIT INSURANCE CORPORATION
in Schedule FDI either segregated between demand deposits and time and savings
deposits according to the type of account to which the item is to be credited, or the
total amount shall be reported for additions to time and savings deposits. If the
bank elects to take deductions for unposted debits chargeable to deposit accounts
and actual amounts are shown on the records of the bank, it shall separately state
in the report of condition the actual amounts of the unposted debits either segregated
between demand deposits and time and savings deposits according to the type of
account against which the items are chargeable, or the total amount shall be reported
for deductions from demand deposits. When only the total amount of such unposted
credits or unposted debits is shown on the records of the bank, the bank may elect
to determine by experience factors such segregated amounts for either unposted
credits or unposted debits or both.
(d) Bank reporting on basis of experience factor. An insured bank whose records
do not show the amounts of unposted credits and unposted debits shall compute
by experience factor or factors the unposted credits and may so compute the unposted
debits. Banks with two years’ experience on January 1, 1961 may establish an ex
perience factor or factors under paragraph (f) of this section, or, upon application
to and approval by the Corporation, may establish an experience factor or factors
under paragraph (g) of this section, the same as banks with less than two years’
experience. Such a bank, upon written approval by the Corporation, may be permitted
to use separate factors for computing the additions to demand deposits and to time
and savings deposits, or for computing the deductions from such deposits; or may be
permitted to use a single factor for computing additions to be made in total amount
to time and savings deposits or for computing deductions to be made in total amount
from demand deposits. When a single factor is used, the additions or deductions are
required to be made to or from the type of deposit giving the lesser advantage to
the bank in taking the 16% percent deduction from demand deposits and the 1
percent deduction from time and savings deposits.
(e) Procedure for obtaining approval of experience factor. Each bank operating
as an insured bank prior to January 1, 1961, which intends to use an experience
factor in computing the amounts of unposted credits or unposted debits, shall signify
its intention in writing to the Corporation not later than March 1, 1961. Any bank
becoming an insured bank on or after January 1, 1961, whose records do not show
amounts of unposted credits and unposted debits, and which proposes to report
such items for assessment purposes by means of experience factors, shall so inform
the Corporation within thirty (30) days after it becomes an insured bank. Upon
receipt of such notice, the Corporation will furnish to the bank a form for use in
submitting to the Corporation the computations used in determining the percentage
factor. Upon approval by the Corporation of such experience factors, the bank shall
thereafter use such factors in reporting unposted credits or debits until new experience
factors are established pursuant to paragraph (k) of this section,
(f) Experience factors for banks with not less than two years* experience on January 1,
1961. (1) The reporting bank may use either of the following experience factors in
reporting unposted credits for addition to the assessment base:
(i)
Separate experience factors for additions to demand deposits and to time and savings
deposits. The factor for:
(a)
Demand deposits shall be the percentage obtained by dividing the average
amount of unposted credits creditable to demand deposits which were added to
deposits in certified statements for the assessment base days in the last two years prior
to January l f 1961, by the average amount of total demand deposits shown on the
books of the bank on such base days; and
RULES AND REGULATIONS OF THE CORPORATION
75
(b)
Time and savings deposits shall be the percentage obtained by dividing the
average amount of unposted credits creditable to time and savings deposits which
were added to deposits in the certified statements for the assessment base days in
the last two years prior to January l f 1961, by the average amount of total time and
savings deposits shown on the books of the bank on such base days.
There shall be separately stated in the report of condition for addition to demand
deposits for assessment purposes, the amount obtained by multiplying the amount
of total demand deposits shown in the report of condition by the factor for demand
deposits, and for addition to time and savings deposits for assessment purposes the
amount obtained by multiplying the amount of total time and savings deposits
shown in the report of condition by the factor for time and savings deposits. In the
event that the records of the bank show the total amount of unposted credits which
were added to deposits in certified statements for the assessment base days in the last
two years prior to January 1, 1961, but do not show the amounts thereof segregated
as to those creditable to demand deposits and to time and savings deposits, the bank
may determine such segregated amounts for use in determining its separate experience
factors hereunder, in the following manner: The bank shall ascertain the percentage
to total unposted credits, of the unposted credits which are creditable to demand
deposits, and the percentage to total unposted credits, of the unposted credits which
are creditable to time and savings deposits, for the business days in the week commenc
ing on March 15, 1961 and ending on March 21, 1961, both days inclusive, and shall
apply such percentages to the average amount of all unposted credits which were
added to deposits in such certified statements.
(ii)
Single experience factor. The factor shall be the percentage obtained by dividing
the average amount of all unposted credits which were added to deposits in certified
statements for the assessment base days in the last two years prior to January 1, 1961,
by the average amount of total deposits shown on the books of the bank for such base
days. There shall be separately stated in the report of condition for addition to time
and savings deposits for assessment purposes, the amount obtained by multiplying
the amount of total deposits shown in the report of condition by such factor.
(2)
The reporting bank may use either of the following experience factors in re
porting unposted debits for deduction from the assessment base:
(i)
Separate experience factors for deductions from demand deposits and from time
and savings deposits. The factor for:
(a) Demand deposits shall be the percentage obtained by dividing the average
amount of unposted debits chargeable to demand deposits which were claimed as
deductions in the certified statements for the assessment base days in the last two
years prior to January 1, 1961, or, if not claimed as a deduction thereunder, the
amount of such unposted debits deducted from deposit liabilities before entry in such
certified statements, by the average amount of total demand deposits shown on
the books of the bank on such base days; and
(b) Time and savings deposits shall be the percentage obtained by dividing the
average amount of unposted debits chargeable to time and savings deposits which
were claimed as deductions in the certified statements for the assessment base days
in the last two years prior to January 1, 1961, or, if not claimed as a deduction there
under, the amount of such unposted debits deducted from deposit liabilities before
entry in such certified statements, by the average amount of total time and savings
deposits shown on the books of the bank on such base days.
There shall be separately stated in the report of condition for deduction from
76
FEDERAL DEPOSIT INSURANCE CORPORATION
demand deposits for assessment purposes, the amount obtained by multiplying the
amount of total demand deposits shown in the report of condition by the factor for
demand deposits, and for deduction from time and savings deposits for assessment
purposes the amount obtained by multiplying the amount of total time and savings
deposits shown in the report of condition by the factor for time and savings deposits.
In the event that the records of the bank show the total amount of unposted debits
which were claimed as deductions in certified statements for the assessment base
days in the last two years prior to January 1, 1961 or deducted from deposit liabilities
fciefore entry in such certified statements, but do not show the amounts thereof segre
gated as to those chargeable to demand deposits and to time and savings deposits,
the bank may determine such segregated amounts for use in determining its separate
experience factors hereunder, in the following manner: The bank shall ascertain the per
centage to total unposted debits, of the unposted debits which are chargeable to
demand deposits, and the percentage to total unposted debits, of the unposted debits
which are chargeable to time and savings deposits, for the business days in the week
commencing on March 15, 1961 and ending on March 21, 1961, both days inclusive,
and shall apply such percentages to the average amount of all unposted debits which
were claimed as deductions in such certified statements or deducted from deposit
liabilities before entry in such certified statements,
(ii)
Single experience factor. The factor shall be the percentage obtained by dividing
the average amount of all unposted debits which were claimed as deductions in the
certified statements for the assessment base days in the last two years prior to January
1, 1961, or, if not claimed as a deduction thereunder, the amount of unposted debits
deducted from deposit liabilities before entry in such certified statements, by the
average amount of total deposits shown on the books of the bank on such base days.
There shall be separately stated in the report of condition for deduction from demand
deposits for assessment purposes, the amount obtained by multiplying the amount
of total deposits shown in the report of condition by such factor. If the amount of
deductions so obtained exceeds demand deposits, the excess thereof may be deducted
from time and savings deposits.
(g)
Experience factors for banks with less than two years1experience. (1) The reporting
bank may use either of the following experience factors in reporting unposted credits
for addition to the assessment base for two years:
(i)
Separate experience factors for additions to demand deposits and to time and savings
d£posits. The factor for each semiannual period for:
(а) Demand deposits shall be the percentage obtained by dividing the amount
of unposted credits on March 15, 1961 and thereafter on the first business day of
February or August which are creditable to demand deposits by the amount of total
demand deposits as shown on the books of the bank at the close of business on the same
day; and
(б) Time and savings deposits shall be the percentage obtained by dividing the
amount of unposted credits on March 15, 1961 and thereafter on the first business
day of February or August which are creditable to time and savings deposits by the
amount of total time and savings deposits as shown on the books of the bank at the
close of business on the same day.
The bank shall determine, on March 15, 1961 and thereafter on the first business
day of February or August until two years’ experience has been obtained, the actual
amount of unposted credits segregated according to the type of account to which
creditable. There shall be separately stated in each report of condition for addition
to demand deposits for assessment purposes, the amount obtained by multiplying
RULES AND REGULATIONS OF THE CORPORATION
77
the amount of total demand deposits shown in the report of condition by the factor
for demand deposits for such semiannual period, and for addition to time and savings
deposits for assessment purposes the amount obtained by multiplying the amount
of total time and savings deposits shown in each report of condition by the factor
for time and savings deposits for such semiannual period.
(ii) Single experience factor. The factor for each semiannual period shall be the
percentage obtained by dividing the amount of all unposted credits on March 15,
1961 and thereafter on the first business day of February or August by the total
deposits as shown on the books of the bank at the close of business on the same day.
The bank shall determine, on March 15, 1961 and thereafter on the first business
day of February or August until two years’ experience has been obtained, the actual
amount of all unposted credits. There shall be separately stated in each report of
condition for addition to time and savings deposits for assessment purposes, the
amount obtained by multiplying the amount of total deposits shown in the report
of condition by the factor for such semiannual period.
(iii) Permanent experience factor. When two years’ experience has been obtained
under this paragraph, a new factor shall be computed and used for the ninth and
subsequent reports of condition. This factor shall be the percentage obtained by divid
ing the aggregate amount of the unposted credits by the aggregate amount of the
deposits, which were used in establishing each factor for the four preceding semiannual
periods.
(2)
Reporting bank may use either of the following experience factors in reporting
unposted debits for deduction from the assessment base for two years:
(i) Separate experience factors for demand deposits and for time and savings deposits.
The factor for each semiannual period:
(а) Demand deposits shall be the percentage obtained by dividing the amount
of unposted debits on March 15, 1961 and thereafter on the first business day of
February or August which are chargeable to demand deposits by the amount of total
demand deposits as shown on the books of the bank at the close of business on the
same day; and
(б) Time and savings deposits shall be the percentage obtained by dividing the
amount of unposted debits on March 15, 1961 and thereafter on the first business
day of February or August which are chargeable to time and savings deposits by the
amount of total time and savings deposits as shown on the books of the bank at the
close of business on the same day.
The bank shall determine, on March 15, 1961 and thereafter on the first business
day of February or August until two years’ experience has been obtained, the actual
amount of unposted debits segregated according to the type of account against which
chargeable. There shall be separately stated in each report of condition for deduction
from demand deposits for assessment purposes, the amount obtained by multiplying
the amount of total demand deposits shown in the report of condition by the factor
for demand deposits for such semiannual period, and for deduction from time and
savings deposits for assessment purposes the amount obtained by multiplying the
amount of total time and savings deposits shown in the report of condition by the
factor for time and savings deposits for such semiannual period.
(ii) Single experience factor. The factor for the semiannual period shall be the
percentage obtained by dividing the amount of all unposted debits on March 15,
1961 and thereafter on the first business day of February or August by the total
78
FEDERAL DEPOSIT INSURANCE CORPORATION
deposits as shown on the books of the bank at the close of business on the same day.
The bank shall determine, on March 15, 1961 and thereafter on the first business
day of February or August until two years' experience has been obtained, the actual
amount of all unposted debits. There shall be separately stated in each report of
condition for deduction from demand deposits for assessment purposes, the amount
obtained by multiplying the amount of total deposits shown in the report of condition
by the factor for such semiannual period. If the amount of deductions so obtained
exceeds demand deposits, the excess thereof may be deducted from time and savings
deposits.
(iii)
Permanent experience factor. When two years' experience has been obtained
under this paragraph, a new factor shall be computed and used for the ninth and
subsequent reports of condition. This factor shall be the percentage obtained by divid
ing the aggregate amount of the unposted debits by the aggregate amount of the de
posits, which were used in establishing each factor for the four preceding semiannual
periods.
(3)
When it is impractical to segregate the amounts of unposted credits or debits
outstanding in a “ branch clearings” account or similar account or to segregate such
unposted credits or debits between demand deposits and time and savings deposits
in computing a factor or factors under this paragraph, such amounts may be ascer
tained in accordance with computation methods approved by the Corporation,
upon application of the bank to the Corporation for permission to compute such
amounts.
(h) Experience factors for newly insured banks. A newly insured bank may determine
its experience factors in the same manner as that provided for banks with less than
two years' experience in subparagraphs (1) and (2) of paragraph (g) of this section,
except that in preparing its first report of condition for assessment purposes it shall
determine the actual amounts of unposted credits, debits and deposits on a day
designated by the Corporation, instead of on the first business day of February or
August.
(i) Mergers, consolidations, deposit assumptions, and conversions. The continuing
or resulting bank in a merger, consolidation or deposit assumption transaction, in
volving one or more banks which used an experience factor, shall use new experience
factors based on the combined experience of the participating banks for the two-year
period prior to such transaction or may establish a new factor or factors in accordance
with paragraph (g) of this section. A bank resulting from the conversion of a bank
shall continue to use the experience factors of the converted bank.
(j) Use of experience factor. Experience factors for the computation of unposted
credits or unposted debits or both, once established by any bank and approved by
the Corporation, must continue to be used for a period of at least three years and
until a new factor or factors are established with the approval of the Corporation
or until such time as the accounting methods of the bank are changed to show actual
amounts thereof from day to day.
(k) Bank establishing new experience factors. Upon thirty days’ written notice to
the Corporation, a bank may establish new permanent factors in the manner provided
in subparagraphs (1) and (2) of paragraph (g) of this section: Provided, however,
That until such new permanent factors have been determined and approved in writing
by the Corporation the bank shall continue to use its pre-established factors.
(1)
Corporation requiring new experience factors. The Corporation may require
a bank to establish new factors at any time as provided in subparagraphs (1) or (2),
or both, of paragraph (g) of this section, and for this purpose may designate a day
RULES AND REGULATIONS OF THE CORPORATION
79
or days and a period or periods other than those specified therein for the determination
of deposits and the actual amounts of unposted credits or unposted debits, or both.
When such new factor or factors have been computed either by the bank or the Corpo
ration and have been approved in writing by the Corporation, the bank shall use
such new factor or factors for reports of condition filed thereafter.
(m) Notice to Corporation of changes in accounting methods. When a bank changes
its accounting procedures from those used in the period in which its experience factors
were established, in such manner as to increase or decrease the amount of unposted
credits or unposted debits, it shall promptly give written notice to the Corporation
of such change.
§ 327.2 Classification of deposits.
(a) The deposits to be reported in the reports of condition required to be made
under section 7 of the Federal Deposit Insurance Act (12 U.S.C. 1817) shall be segre
gated between the time and savings deposits and the demand deposits.
(b) The time and savings deposits for the purpose of such reports and for the
computation of assessments as provided in subsection (b) of section 7 of the Act
(12 U.S.C. 1817) shall consist of:
(1) Time certificates of deposit evidenced by an instrument providing on its face
that the amount of such deposit is payable on a certain date not less than thirty
days after the date of deposit, at the expiration of a specified period not less than
thirty days after the date of the instrument, or upon written notice to be given not
less than thirty days before the date of payment;
(2) Time deposits, open account, being a deposit other than a time certificate of
deposit or a savings deposit, with respect to which there is in force a written contract
with the depositor that neither the whole nor any part of such deposit may be with
drawn prior to the date of maturity which shall not be less than thirty days after the
date of the deposit or prior to the expiration of the period of notice which must be
given by the depositor in writing not less than thirty days in advance of withdrawals,
including deposits such as Christmas club accounts and vacation club accounts,
which are made under written contracts providing that no withdrawal shall be made
until a certain number of periodic deposits have been made during a period of not
less than three (3) months, even though some of the deposits are made within thirty
(30) days from the end of such period; and
(3) Deposits accumulated for the payment of personal loans representing the
aggregate of amounts which are accumulated by borrowers for payment of personal
loans in accounts opened by borrowers in connection with personal loans (whether
or not the bank maintains a separate personal loan department) and which, under
contracts between the bank and the borrowers, do not immediately reduce the unpaid
balances of the loans but are assigned or pledged to assure repayment of the personal
loans at maturity, except that amounts received by the bank which under contracts
with the borrowers constitute installment payments on personal loans and immedi
ately reduce the unpaid balances of the loans even though recorded on separate
accounts on the books of the bank shall not be reported as deposits; and
(4) Savings deposits being deposits evidenced by a passbook or written receipt
or agreement (i) deposited to the credit of one or more individuals or of a corporation,
association, or other organization operated primarily for religious, philanthropic,
charitable, educational, fraternal, or other similar purposes and not operated for
profit, or (ii) in which the entire beneficial interest is held by one or more individuals
or by such a corporation, association, or other organization and in respect to which
80
FEDERAL DEPOSIT INSURANCE CORPORATION
(iii) the depositor is required, or may at any time be required, by the bank to give
notice in writing of an intended withdrawal not less than thirty (30) days before
such withdrawal is made and (iv) withdrawals are permitted in only two ways, either
upon presentation of a passbook, if any, through payment to the person presenting
the passbook, or without presentation of a passbook, through payment to the de
positor himself but not to any other person, whether or not acting for the depositor.
(c)
Demand deposits shall consist of all deposits other than time and savings
deposits.
§ 327.3 Payment of assessments by banks whose insured status has terminated.
(a) Assumed deposits of terminating bank become deposits of assuming bank. When
the deposit liabilities of an insured bank are assumed by another insured bank the
assumed deposits, for assessment purposes, shall be deposit liabilities of the assuming
bank and shall cease to be deposit liabilities of the bank whose deposits are assumed
from and after the effective date of the assumption.
(b) Payment of assessments by assuming bank on assumed deposits of terminating
bank. Where the deposit liabilities of an insured bank are assumed by another insured
bank and the assuming bank agrees to file the Certified Statement which the termi
nating bank is required to file, the filing of such Certified Statement and the payment
of the assessment thereon by the assuming bank shall be deemed the acts of the
terminating bank: Provided, That the requisite notice of assumption1 be given to
the depositors of the terminating bank, and Provided further, That such Certified
Statement shall be filed separately from that required to be filed by the assuming bank.
(c) Resumption of insured status before insurance of deposits ceases. If a bank whose
insured status has been terminated under section 8 (a) or (b) of the Federal Deposit
Insurance Act, makes application to the Corporation, before the insurance of its
deposits shall have ceased, to be permitted to continue or to resume its status as an
insured bank and if the Board of Directors grants the application, the bank will be
deemed, for assessment purposes, to continue as an insured bank and must thereafter
furnish Certified Statements and pay assessments as though its insured status had
not been terminated. For the procedure to be followed in making such application,
see § 303.7 of this chapter.
§ 327.4 Time of payment.
Each insured bank shall pay to the Corporation the amount of the semiannual
assessment due to the Corporation, as shown on its Certified Statement,2 at the
time such statement is required to be filed under section 7 (c) of the Federal Deposit
Insurance Act.
B.
Part 326 of the Corporation’s rules and regulations, relating to bank obligations
prescribed as deposits, is repealed effective January 16, 1961, because of the amend
ment of the definition of the term “ deposit” in subsection (1) of section 3 of the
Federal Deposit Insurance Act, as amended by Public Law 86— 671, approved July
14, 1960 and effective on January 1, 1961 except as to the determination and payment
of assessments due on January 15, 1961 (12 U.S.C. 1813 (1)): Provided, That rights
and liabilities existing on or before January 1, 1961, with respect to insured deposits,
and existing on or before January 15, 1961 with respect to the determination and
payment of assessments, are not affected by such repeal.
As the repeal of Part 326 as provided herein and the following amendments of
§§ 301.1, 303.5, 304.1, 304.2 and 304.3 do not diminish the rights of insured banks,
1 The requisite notice of assumption shall be the notice prescribed in § 307.3 of this chapter.
2 See §§ 304.1 and 304.3 of this chapter.
RULES AND REGULATIONS OF THE CORPORATION
81
notice of them as proposed rules is found to be unnecessary. Further, it is found that
the effective date of the amendment of Part 327 and of the repeal of Part 326 as
provided herein should not be deferred for thirty days, because of the effective dates
of the amendments of the Federal Deposit Insurance Act by Public Law 86— 671,
approved July 14, 1960, and the effective date of the other amendments should not
be deferred for thirty days, because they relate to applications, reports and forms
and do not impose additional substantive burdens upon insured banks.
The following amendments of the rules and regulations of the Corporation are
adopted effective January 16, 1961:
§ 301.1 [Amendment]
1. In § 301.1 delete the following: “ (Act of Sept. 21, 1950, Pub. Law 797, 81st

the time of making reports of condition to the Federal Reserve bank, required under
the Federal Deposit Insurance Act, shall furnish an executed and attested copy
thereof to the Corporation.”
§ 304.3 [Amendment]
5. In paragraph (a) of § 304.3 insert after the words “ other application” in the
third sentence the words “may be”.
6. In paragraph (d) of § 304.3 delete the words “ other application retained by the

fctank, except any newly insured banks which must submit their First Certified State
ment on Form 645, and any mutual savings banks which must use Form 545 (Savings).
Farm 545 shows the deposit liabilities, less authorized deductions, reported in two
reports of condition in each semiannual assessment period. The form will show the
computation of the assessment base and the amount of the assessment due the Corpo
ration. It must be prepared in duplicate, certified by the president of the bank or
any other officer designated by its board of directors and an original must be forwarded
to the Fiscal Agent. The duplicate copy should be retained in the bank’s file.4 The
forms are mailed to all insured banks each six months in ample time to permit com
pliance with the law, but if not received on or before January 1 or July 1, they should
be obtained from the Fiscal Agent. Any questions in respect to such forms should
be directed to the Fiscal Agent.
(r) Form 545 (Savings): Certified Statement (for mutual savings banks). This form
is substantially the same as Form 545, and should be used by mutual savings banks.
(s) Form 645: First Certified Statement (for banks other than mutual savings). The
First Certified Statement, Form 645, must be submitted on or before July 31 or January
31 following the semiannual period in which the bank began operation as an insured

provides, in part, as follows: “ Each insured bank, as a condition to the right to make any such deduction
in determining its assessment base, shall maintain such records as will readily permit verification of the
correctness of its assessment base. No insured bank shall be required to retain such records for such
purpose for a period in excess of five years from the date of the filing of any certified statement, except
that when there is a dispute between the insured bank and the Corporation over the amount of any
assessment the bank shall retain such records until final determination of the issue.”

bank. The form shows the deposit liabilities, less authorized deductions, as provided
by law, on the last date within such period for which it was required to submit a
report of condition or if such bank became an insured bank after the last date in such
period for which a report of condition was required, such bank shall make a report
of condition as of the last day of such semiannual period, and shall file with the Corpo
ration a Certified Statement showing, as its assessment base for such period, its
assessment base for the date of such special report. The form will show the computation
of the assessment base and the amount of the assessment due the Corporation. It
must be prepared in duplicate, certified by the president of the bank or any other
officer designated by its board of directors, and the original must be forwarded to
the Fiscal Agent. The duplicate copy should be retained in the bank’s file.4 The forms
will be mailed by the Fiscal Agent to newly insured banks with appropriate instructions
for their preparation.
(t) Form 645 (Savings): First Certified Statement (for mutual savings banks). This
form is substantially the same as Form 645 and should be used by mutual savings
banks.
(u)
Form 845: Final Certified Statement—for use by an insured bank (except mutual
savings banks) whose deposits are assumed by another insured bank. This statement,
Form 845, shows the deposit liabilities, less authorized deductions of the bank in
the report or reports of condition prior to the assumption date. Form 845 accompanied
by appropriate letter of explanation and instructions will be mailed by the Fiscal
Agent to each insured bank whose deposit liabilities are assumed by another insured
bank. The form must be prepared in duplicate, certified by the president of the bank
or any other officer designated by its board of directors and the original must be
forwarded to the Fiscal Agent. The duplicate copy should be retained in the bank’s
files.4 If the deposits of the liquidating bank are assumed by a newly insured bank,
the liquidating bank is not required to file Form 845 or to pay any assessments upon
the deposits so assumed after the semiannual period in which the assumption takes
effect.
(v) Form 845 (Savings): Final Certified Statement (for mutual savings banks). This
form is substantially the same as Form 845 and should be used by mutual savings
banks.
(w) Form 845A : Final Certified Statement—for use of an insured bank (other than
mutual savings banks) whose deposit liabilities are assumed by another insured operating
bank. (To be used when the assuming bank executes the Certified Statement for the
bank whose deposits were assumed.) Form 845A may be substituted for Form 845
described in paragraph (u) of this section if the assuming bank is executing the Certified
Statement for the bank whose deposit liabilities were assumed. Form 845A is prepared
in the same manner as Form 845 except the certification is executed by an official
of the assuming bank.
(x) Form 845A (Savings): Final Certified Statement—for use of an insured mutual
savings bank whose deposit liabilities are assumed by another insured operating bank.
(To be used when the assuming bank executes the Certified Statement for the bank
whose deposits were assumed.) Form 845A (Savings) may be substituted for Form 845
(Savings) described in paragraph (v) of this section if the assuming bank is executing
the Certified Statement for the bank whose deposit liabilities were assumed. Form
845A (Savings) is prepared in the same manner as Form 845 (Savings) except the
certification is executed by an official of the assuming bank.

amended in 1935 and 1959, all banks of deposit are required to submit to
examination and regulation under the laws of the United States or of the
State, Territory, or District in which the bank is located.1 Table 30
classifies the banks and trust companies operating in the United States
at the end of 1960 according to the supervisory authority or authorities
to which they are subject. Of the 13,999 banks, 32 percent were subject to
Federal Government supervision only, 64 percent to both Federal and
State supervision, and 4 percent to State supervision only.

FEDERAL DEPOSIT INSURANCE CORPORATION
Banks subject only to Federal supervision include all national banks
and all other banks located in the District of Columbia, and are under the
jurisdiction of the Comptroller of the Currency. Of the banks subject to
both Federal and State supervision, more than four-fifths are not members
of the Federal Reserve System and are regularly examined by and submit
reports of condition to the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation. Less
than one-fifth of the banks subject to both Federal and State supervision
are members of the Federal Reserve System and are examined by and
submit reports of condition to the Federal Reserve banks of the respective
districts in which they are located. The banks and trust companies which
are subject to State supervision only are those not insured by the Federal
Deposit Insurance Corporation. However, some of the noninsured banks,
mostly unincorporated banks in Georgia, Iowa, and Texas, do not submit
reports of condition to and are not examined by the State bank super
visory authority. About three-tenths of all the noninsured banks and trust
companies are not eligible for participation in deposit insurance, because
they are trust companies not regularly engaged in deposit banking, or are
unincorporated banks, or operate under laws which do not bring them
within the definition of State banks in the Federal Deposit Insurance Act-

Assets and deposits. The total assets of the banks in the various
categories shown in the preceding table are given in Table 31 and their
total deposits in Table 32. About 47 percent of the assets and deposits in
all banks and trust companies are in those which are examined by and
report to the Comptroller of the Currency; about 25 percent in banks
subject to examination and supervision by the State authorities and by
Federal Reserve banks; another 25 percent in banks subject to super
vision and examination by State authorities and the Federal Deposit
Insurance Corporation; and less than 3 percent in banks subject to control
by State authorities only.

Capital accounts and capital ratios. Banks have relatively small
amounts of liabilities other than deposits. Most of the difference between
their total assets and total deposits consists of their capital accounts. For
all insured banks, the ratio of total capital accounts to total assets at the
end of 1960 was 8.1 percent, a slight increase over the preceding year.
In Table 33 ratios of total capital accounts to total assets are given for
the banks examined by and reporting to the Federal and State supervisory
agencies, with separate figures for mutual savings banks and for com
mercial banks and trust companies.

1960
Number of banking offices. At the end of 1960 there were 25,105
banking offices in the United States, an increase of 863 during the year.
All of the increase represented additional branches, since there was a
reduction of five in the number of banks and an increase of 868 in the
number of branches. More new banking offices were opened in 1960 than
in any other year since the beginning of Federal deposit insurance. The
great majority of the new offices were branches; only 14 percent were new
banks. Of the new banks, 40 percent were in three States, Texas, Florida,
and Illinois, in which branch banking is prohibited, and a large proportion
of the remainder were in other States which also prohibit branch banking
or were outside the areas in which branches are permitted.
Table 34 shows the character of the changes during 1960 among banks
and branches, with separate figures for commercial banks and trust
companies and for mutual savings banks. The 133 banks which began
operations in 1960 practically offset the 138 banks which ceased operation.
Six banks were placed in liquidation. The 132 banks ceasing business
because of absorption were succeeded by 113 branches. In 1960 there were
815 other new branches beginning operations and 60 branches discon
tinuing operations.
From the end of 1950 to the end of 1960 the total number of banking
offices in the United States increased by 26 percent, in comparison with
an increase in population of less than 20 percent. At the end of 1960, the
population per banking office, including both commercial and mutual
savings banks, was approximately 7,200; and for commercial banks only,
about 7,500 per office. The population per bank was, of course, much
BANKING DEVELOPMENTS DURING 1 9 6 0

larger; about 13,000 if both eommereial and mutual savings are included,
and 13,500 if only commercial banks are counted. Table 35 shows the
number of banks and offices, and population data, for the entire United
States, and also for the 50 States and the District of Columbia, and for the
48 States and the District of Columbia formerly referred to as “ con
tinental United States.”

Changes in bank assets and liabilities. The amounts of the major
classes of bank assets, the chief types of bank loans, the major categories
of deposits, and the total capital accounts of the banks at the end of 1960
are compared, in Table 36, with the corresponding amounts at the end of
each of the preceding three years. Total assets increased 5.1 percent
during 1960, more than double the rate of increase of 2.3 percent during
the preceding year, but less than the 7.2 percent rate of increase in 1958.

FEDERAL DEPOSIT INSURANCE CORPORATION
There was considerable diversity in rate of growth among the various
types of assets. For the major loan categories the rates of change in 1960
ranged from an increase of 13.1 percent for agricultural loans, other than
those on real estate, to a decrease of 9.5 percent for loans to banks and
other financial institutions. Commercial and industrial loans increased
7.3 percent, and real estate loans 4.9 percent: these two categories together
make up approximately two-thirds of all the loans of the banks.

As in the preceding year, deposits increased during 1960 at a lower, and
capital accounts at a higher, rate than total assets. Deposit growth was
at the rate of 4.5 percent in 1960, which compares with 1.7 percent in
1959, and 7.3 percent in 1958. Among categories of deposits the highest
rates of increase were in those of the United States Government and of
States and subdivisions. Of the business and personal deposits, those
classified as time and savings increased much more rapidly than demand
deposits, the rates being 5.6 percent and 1.3 percent respectively, during
1960. Both of these rates were higher than the corresponding rates in 1959
but lower than in 1958. Capital accounts increased 7.1 percent in 1960,
compared with 5.3 percent in 1959 and 6.3 percent in 1958.

Assets and liabilities of the entire banking and currency system.
Bank deposits and the circulating notes and coins issued by Federal
Reserve banks and the United States Treasury all serve the same basic
role in the economic affairs of the nation, namely, as means of payment
and cash reserves available for immediate or later use. The circulating
notes are all direct obligations of the United States Treasury.
Table 37 shows for the end of 1960 and each of the preceding three years
the aggregate assets and liabilities of the entire banking and currency
system, which includes not only commercial and mutual savings banks,
but also Federal Reserve banks, the postal savings system, the gold
accounts and currency issues of the Treasury, and the exchange stabiliza
tion fund. The assets of the system are divided into two major groups.
One group includes assets which are obligations of other components of

the banking and currency system itself. The other group, designated “ net
total assets” in the table, includes gold, other monetary metals, United
States Government obligations, other securities, loans and discounts, and
miscellaneous assets. The net total assets of the system increased by 3.7
percent during 1960, in comparison with 1.9 percent during 1959, and
6.7 percent during 1958.
The total liabilities and capital accounts of the entire banking and
currency system are divided into three groups: claims of, or amounts
owed to, other parts of the banking and currency system; capital accounts
and miscellaneous liabilities; and the balance, designated in the table as
net total deposits and circulating currency. The net total deposits and
circulating currency, which represent the total circulating medium of the
nation, increased 2.8 percent during 1960, in comparison with 1.5 percent
during 1959, and 6.5 percent during 1958. Variations in the rate of growth
of the circulating medium are intimately related, on the one hand, to
policies of restraint and ease exercised by the nation’s monetary authori
ties, and on the other, to business downswings and upswings.
The table also gives estimates of the portions of the total circulating
medium that are foreign owned, owned by the United States Government,
and owned by other holders, the last being what is sometimes referred to
as the money supply available to business and individuals.

Entire United States. Table 38 presents data regarding the deposits
of the largest commercial banks in comparison with those of all com
mercial banks in the United States. Figures are for the end of 1960 and
are shown for the entire United States, for the 50 States and the District
of Columbia, and for the 48 States and the District of Columbia formerly
designated “ continental United States.” There is very little difference
among these areas in the percentages indicating the concentration of
deposits in the largest bank and in groups of the largest banks.
The largest 100 banks at the end of 1960 held 46 percent of the deposits
of all commercial banks, and constituted about three-fourths of 1 percent
of the number of banks. The largest bank held 4.5 percent, and the largest
ten held 20 percent, of the deposits of all commercial banks. These various
percentages differ only slightly from the corresponding percentages for
December 31, 1958.2
Relative position o f banks by States. Table 39 shows for each
State, as of the end of the year, the number of commercial banks and trust
companies, the number of offices operated, the population per bank and
per office, and the percentage of deposits of all commercial banks in the

largest bank, the largest three banks, and the largest five banks. The
States are placed in three groups: those in which Statewide branch bank
ing is the prevalent type of bank organization; those in which limited area
branch banking is prevalent; and those in which unit banking is prevalent
although in some of these States some branching is permitted. Within the
three groups the States are listed in the order of the percentage of the
deposits in the largest bank.

1 Comparable with data for “ Continental United States” in Table 26 of this report, p. 51.
In most of the States the percentage of the deposits of all commercial
banks held by the largest bank, and the percentage held by the largest
five banks, are similar to the corresponding percentages on December 31,
1958. In the majority of the States there was a slight decline in these
percentages between the two dates. In fourteen States there was a slight
increase in the percentage of deposits of all commercial banks held by the
largest bank, and in twenty States by the largest five banks.
Relative position o f banks in m etropolitan areas. Table 40
pertains to the number of offices and percentages of deposits in the 65
most populous metropolitan areas. It shows the number of commercial
banks operating in the principal counties in those areas, the number of

commercial bank deposits held by the largest bank, the largest three

three groups, as in Table 39, according to the most prevalent type of
banking organization, with the areas in each group listed in the order
of the percentage of the deposits in the largest bank.

1 Principal counties in standard metropolitan areas as defined by the Bureau of the Budget, with population of 400,000 or more on April 1, 1960, except that in Connecticut, Massa
chusetts, and Rhode Island (where standard metropolitan areas are defined in terms of cities and towns) they are counties with the majority of the population within standard metro
politan areas.

The deposit data in Table 40 are of a type not hitherto available,
though for most of the areas in States with limited area branch banking
or unit banking prevalent they are roughly comparable with those for
earlier dates given on pages 56-57. Lack of strict comparability arises
from the fact that the figures for the prior dates are computed from the
total deposits of each bank with its head office located in the specified
metropolitan area, including in some cases deposits in branches located
outside the areas; while the deposits for June 15, 1960, pertain to those
held by the banking offices located within the county, therefore excluding
any deposits in branches of the same banks outside the specified counties.
Though the data are not strictly comparable, they support the conclusion
that in the majority of the leading metropolitan areas in 1960 there was
slightly less concentration in the largest bank and in the largest five banks
than in 1958. In only about one-third of the areas for which data are given
for both dates was one or the other of these percentages higher in 1960
than in 1958.
There appears to be a relationship between the character of the banking
system with respect to branching and the number of offices in the respec
tive areas relative to population. In the 18 selected metropolitan areas in
States in which unit banking is prevalent the range in population per
office is from 9,800 to 33,300, compared with a range from 6,700 to 17,600
in 34 areas in States in which limited area branch banking is prevalent,
and a range from 7,300 to 12,300 in areas in States in which statewide
branch banking is prevalent .
Income
of
I nsured B an k s
Income in 1960. Income of banks insured by the Corporation was
higher in 1960 than in any previous year. Almost nine-tenths of the total
was received by commercial banks; the remainder, by mutual savings
banks.
Income of insured commercial banks. Income of insured com
mercial banks reached $11,299 million in 1960. Income from loans, which
accounted for three-fifths of the total, was responsible for most of the
increase over 1959. Income from securities and miscellaneous sources each
comprised one-fifth of the total. Sources and disposition of income of
insured commercial banks in 1958, 1959, and 1960 are shown in Table 41.
Several of the more significant operating ratios of insured commercial
banks, at 5-year intervals from 1940 to 1960, are presented in Table 42.
The greater loan income in 1960 was due about equally to a larger volume
and higher average rates of return. Loan income averaged 5.96 percent
of loans, appreciably higher than in 1959, and almost twice the rate in
1945. Income on United States Government obligations averaged 3.10

percent in 1960; and on other securities, 2.88 percent. Income from service
charges on demand deposits totaled $590 million in 1960, representing a
rate of 0.39 percent of demand deposits, approximately twice the rate
received in 1950.

Much of the increase in current operating earnings of insured com
mercial banks during the last several years has been absorbed by mount
ing operating expenses. In 1960 almost two-thirds of gross operating
earnings were thus absorbed, about the same proportion as in 1959. The
largest component, salaries and wages, increased 9 percent in 1960, due
both to a greater average number of employees and higher rates of com
pensation. The average bank officer earned $9,564 in 1960, and other
employees averaged $3,707. Interest paid on time and savings deposits
advanced by 13 percent in 1960. The rate of interest on such deposits,
which averaged 2.56 percent in 1960, was almost twice the rate recorded
only five years earlier.
Operating earnings and expenses change at comparable rates, and with
the greater earnings magnitudes, have led to increasing amounts of net
current operating earnings. Only once during the last twenty years—in
1958—have net current operating earnings failed to surpass the preceding
year. In 1960 they reached $3,791 million, an increase of 11 percent over
1959. This represented a record rate of return on assets of 1.54 percent.
Income from current operations is reduced by losses and charge-offs
on assets, which typically exceed recoveries on assets previously charged

off and profits on the sale of assets. In 1960 net charge-offs amounted to
$404 million, a sharp reduction from the $1,033 million recorded in 1959.
The change principally reflected rising prices of securities throughout 1960.

The combination of record net current operating earnings and lower
net charge-offs resulted in record net profits, both before and after income
taxes. Net profits after taxes reached $2 billion, and were over one-third
greater than in 1959. They represented a return of 10.03 percent on total
capital accounts, the highest rate since 1945.
The general banking practice of maintaining dividends at a fairly
constant rate led in 1960 to exceptional additions to capital accounts from
retained earnings. Such retentions in 1960 totaled $1,171 million, almost
two-thirds greater than in 1959; as the principal source of new banking
capital, they were largely responsible for the increase during the year in
the capital ratio.
The proportions of total net earnings and net profits received by
insured commercial banks in 1960 in the different size groups, along with
a distribution of the banks, bank employees, and bank assets by deposit
size of bank, are given in Table 43. Except for the groups of smallest and
largest banks, the proportions of total earnings and profits received by
banks in the different groups corresponded generally with the proportions
of assets held. The proportions of employees in the different groups
showed wider variations; and the proportions of banks, still wider varia
tions. Banks with deposits of $10 million or less, constituting four-fifths
of the insured commercial banks, received 13 percent of the net earnings
and 16 percent of the net profits after taxes of all insured commercial
banks. The 53 largest banks, each having deposits of $500 million or
more, received 44 percent of net earnings and 41 percent of net profits
after taxes.

FEDERAL DEPOSIT INSURANCE CORPORATION
Mutual savings banks specialize in real estate mortgage loans. These
provided 98 percent of the loan income of the insured mutuals in 1960,
and afforded an average return of 4.73 percent. The return on holdings of
United States Government obligations averaged 2.99 percent; and on
other securities, 3.96 percent.
The specialized character of mutual savings banks accounts for their
relatively small staffs. In 1960, for instance, only 7 percent of the income
of insured mutual savings banks went for salaries and wages, as contrasted
with 25 percent so required by insured commercial banks. Other current
expenses of insured mutual savings banks absorbed 8 percent of income;
franchise and income taxes, 1 percent; dividends and interest on deposits,
67 percent; charge-offs on assets, 7 percent; and additions to surplus
accounts, 10 percent.
In 1960 depositors of insured mutual savings banks received dividends
and interest totaling $1,073 million. These dividends averaged 3.49
percent of savings and time deposits, compared with 3.19 percent in 1959.
The $168 million of income retained by insured mutual savings banks
raised surplus accounts to 8.5 percent of assets at the end of 1960.

Summary report by Attorney General, June 17, 1960
The communities in which the banks are situated are twelve miles apart. Each
bank, however, primarily serves the area within five miles of its own community.
Approximately half the Monroe bank’s loans were made to farmers. There do not
appear to be any other banks in the area which are competitive with the Waxhaw
bank. The addition of Waxhaw Bank’s resources to those of the Monroe bank will
not give the latter significant advantages over its competitors. Accordingly, com
petition will not be adversely affected to any appreciable extent as a result of the
merger.
Basis for Corporation approval, June 22, 1960
Banking in this area of North Carolina is dominated by large local institutions
and branch offices of the extensive branch bank systems operating throughout the
State. The merged bank’s resources will be only about 2 percent of the total resources
available to this area. Despite this relatively small position, the merger will be of
public benefit. This is particularly true at Waxhaw which sorely needs, and will
obtain, improved physical facilities and increased banking services. Both areas in
volved need the increased lending limit which will be available through the merger.

Summary report by Attorney General, June 17, 1960
It may be that the economic distress facing the Berwind Bank brings the acquisi
tion in question within the permissible ambit of International Shoe Co. v. The Federal
Trade Commission, 280 U.S. 291. But in any event, the acquisition does not appear
to have any significant anticompetitive effect. Bank of War will still have to face
the competition of McDowell County National Bank at the not too-distant county
seat of Welch. With assets of $18.1 million and deposits of $16.3, the McDowell
County National Bank is some five times larger than Bank of War, even when the
latter will be augmented by the assets of Berwind Bank.
Basis for Corporation approval, June 30, 1960
Because of depressed economic conditions in the coal fields, the Berwind Bank
determined to go into voluntary liquidation on June 30,1960. This transaction afforded
the customers of that bank the most convenient method for transferring their banking
business to the nearest banking office, The Bank of War.

Summary report by Attorney General, July 12, 1960
From the information supplied to us in the application papers, it would appear
that any existing competition will be eliminated between Berks County Trust Com
pany and Mt. Penn Trust Company by the proposed merger. This is significant in
the case of deposits, and homeowner and consumer loans.
Of particular importance is the effect of the proposed merger on the already domi
nant position of Berks County Trust Company. This position would be increased
by the merger to 51.7% of total assets, 56.1% of demand deposits, 48.1% of time
deposits and 57.5% of loans, in the competitive area. Berks County Trust has achieved
its present dominance in part by mergers and acquisitions. It already has branches
in three surrounding towns as well as five offices in Reading.
Also relevant is that the third and fourth largest banks in Reading, Peoples Trust
and City Bank have a merger application pending before the Federal Reserve Board.
If both applications should be approved there will only be three banks remaining
in Reading of any significant size.
Basis for Corporation approval, July 28, 1960
The competitive, operational and service region of the two banks involved is the
whole of Berks County. The County, outside the city of Reading, has approximately
$135 million of banking resources. Berks County Trust Company in its operations
caters strongly to loans to commercial and manufacturing enterprises, whereas the
smaller institution tends toward residential and consumer loans. Their merger would
add to the opportunities of the resulting bank to accomplish a more favorable overall
banking program for serving the entire area of Berks County. The large Philadelphia
banks are active in their solicitation of accounts from Reading and Berks County.
Mt. Penn Trust Company cannot successfully compete against this invasion. Berks
County Trust Company is more successful in this competitive field, and after the
merger its ability to compete with these outside institutions will be enhanced. Com
petition for loans and deposits in the Berks County area otherwise is not limited to
the remaining 16 local banking corporations with 36 banking offices. Some 20 finance
and small loan companies hold about one-third of the entire consumer loan volume
in the County. Five savings and loan associations operating on a county-wide basis
have total accounts approximating $25 million and aggregate mortgage loan holdings
in excess of $31,700,000. Furthermore, competition between the two merging banks
is indicated to have been negligible in the past inasmuch as Berks County Trust
Company has acted as the principal correspondent of the Mt. Penn Trust Company
and has participated in numerous overloans of the smaller institution.

Summary report by Attorney General, July 18, 1960
Thej-merging banks are The Bank of Abbeville, with assets of $6,727,000, deposits
of $6,237,000, and capital funds of $400,000, and State Bank and Trust Company,
with assets of $46,478,000, deposits of $40,608,000, and capital funds of $3,546,000.
Within the Abbeville competitive area, according to the application, there are eighteen
other banks, among them South Carolina National Bank with total deposits of
$276,059,000 and First National Bank of South Carolina with total deposits of
$71,191,000.
South Carolina permits branch banking. There are in the State 25 national banks
with 90 branches, 121 State banks, with 39 branches, five facilities, a total of 146
banks and 129 branches. State Bank holds about 4 % of total assets of all banks in
the State, and Abbeville Bank holds about one-half of 1%.
In view of the existing and potential competition in the State of South Carolina,
it does not appear that this merger will have a substantially adverse effect on com
petition in the Abbeville area or in South Carolina.
Basis for Corporation approval, August 4, 1960
The principal benefit of this merger is the improved and expanded banking services
which will become available to the Abbeville and Calhoun Falls communities.

Summary report by Attorney General, July 28, 1960
The merger of the Suburban Trust Company, Hyattsville, Maryland, and the
Farmers and Merchants Bank, Upper Marlboro, Maryland, would have the following
effects upon competition in the areas served by these banks:
1. Suburban Trust is already by far the largest bank in the area which it serves.
The proposed merger would increase concentration of banking resources in the com
petitive area of the combined bank and would thereby increase the advantages of
Suburban Trust over its much smaller competitors. The latter effect would be of
particular importance to such banks as the First National Bank of Southern Maryland
which now serve Upper Marlboro and other nearby communities;
2. Potential competition between Suburban Trust Company and Farmers and
Merchants Bank would be foreclosed;

The Farmers and Merchants Bank would be eliminated as a small, independent

Basis for Corporation approval, August 11, 1960
With one exception, all of Farmers and Merchants’ competitors are substantially
larger in resources and this situation has made it difficult for the bank to produce
satisfactory earnings. This merger will provide the Upper Marlboro and Forestville
areas, where Farmers and Merchants now operates, with greatly increased banking
resources, with aggressive management in depth, and with improved and enlarged
banking services, thus redounding to the overall benefit of both communities. These
substantial public benefits result in a favorable determination on the banking factors.

Summary report by Attorney General, July 21, 1960
Peoples Bank is located in Madisonville, in the center of Hopkins County, Kentucky.
Merchants Bank is located in Slaughters, twelve miles north of Madisonville, on the
boundary between Hopkins County and adjacent Webster County. It appears likely
that some competition between these banks takes place in the area between them.
The principal competitors of Peoples Bank are two other banks in Madisonville
both of which are larger than Peoples. There are no other banks in Slaughters, but
Merchants Bank also competes with banks to the north and east to which it has
apparently lost accounts. Merchants Bank lacks safe deposit box and installment
loan facilities and pays only 1% interest on time deposits. Peoples Bank on the other
hand offers the above services and pays 3 % interest. It has expanded greatly in the
last year. It states that it will provide the above services and interest rate in Slaughter*
after the merger.
It therefore appears that while the proposed merger may eliminate some competition
between the merging banks in the area between Madisonville and Slaughters, com
petition in the area would not be adversely affected to any substantial degree. This
is particularly so in view of the larger banks which would still be in the area after
the merger.
Basis for Corporation approval, August 18, 1960
The merger will provide increased resources, modern physical facilities and aggres
siveness, thus improving banking services in the Slaughters area and placing that
office in a more advantageous competitive position relative to its neighboring institu
tions. It will also improve the standing of Peoples Bank in relation to its two sub
stantially larger competitors in Madisonville.

Summary report by Attorney General, July 22, 1960
Somerville and Rossville are located in Fayette County, in the southwestern corner
of Tennessee. Fayette County is an appropriate area of competition for consideration
of the effects of the proposed merger.
Somerville Bank is by far the largest of the four banks in Fayette County, having
60.5% of the banking assets in the county; Rossville Bank has 12.2% of Fayette
County’s bank assets. The remaining two banks are in Moscow and Oakland; Moscow
has 16.1%, and Oakland has 11.2%.
Merger of Rossville and Somerville Banks will, therefore, reduce competition
substantially by elimination of one of the four banks presently competing as a separate
organization in the area. Moreover, the proposed merger would concentrate over
70% of the banking resources of the county in the Somerville Bank. The reduced
number of competitors will offer fewer alternatives to prospective borrowers and
depositors. The concentration of resources would be likely to reduce the competition
from the much smaller remaining banks.
There is already a significant amount of joint stock holding by the holders of Somer
ville and Rossville stock which is reflected in the interlocking directorates of the two
banks.
Officers and directors of Rossville and Somerville Banks are also, in some cases,
officers and directors of Barrettville Bank, the largest of the two banks in adjacent
Shelby County, outside of Memphis. Similar connections exist with the First State
Bank of Henderson, in Chester County, 40 miles to the east of Somerville. Thus,
the proposed merger would appear to increase concentration of banking resources
not only in Fayette County but in southwestern Tennessee generally.
Basis for Corporation approval, August 18, 1960
Because of substantial common ownership, these two banks have not been con
sidered to be truly competitive with each other. The increased banking resources now
available to the Rossville area will be of substantial benefit to that community.
Further, this merger amounts to the formalization of an existing relationship, and
has no substantial effect on competition in the area.

Summary report by Attorney General, August 5, 1960
The merger of The Dime Bank and The Bank of Akron Company would combine
two banks which are now substantial and independent factors in competition in bank
ing in the City of Akron and Summit County, Ohio. It would eliminate an independent
source of banking services and would increase concentration in banking in both the
City of Akron and Summit County, giving the two largest of six banks in the County
about 68% of total assets. The merger would also substantially lessen both existing
and potential competition in banking in Akron and Summit County.
Basis for Corporation approval, September 29, 1960
During the past decade the population of this highly industrialized area increased
by 32 percent and the outlook for the future is very bright. This dynamic economy
needs large financial institutions, and this merger partially fills that need. The types
of services presently offered by the two banks are largely complementary rather
than competitive, and the same is true of their respective branch office locations. The
relatively small loan limit of The Bank of Akron Company has restricted its ability
to serve its larger customers, and some such customers have been lost for that reason.
Also, The Bank of Akron Company is a specialist in personal and consumer installment
lending; with the additional resources available for this purpose, as a result of the
merger, thousands of workers in the area should benefit. The merged institution will
be in position to effectively compete with the dominant banking institution which
has 45 percent of the banking resources and half the number of bank offices in the
service area.

Summary report by Attorney General, August 23, 1960
The application sets forth fully and completely the inability of the New Florence
management presently to adequately serve the community and the manner in which
the acquisition will improve banking in the New Florence area. Johnstown Bank
and Trust is in a position to offer more complete banking and trust services, has a
greater lending ability, and can provide a modern array of consumer lending facilities
without substantial detriment to competition in the area involved.
On balance, the proposed acquisition would not appear to substantially adversely
affect competition or increase any trend toward monopoly in the field of commercial
banking in the respective area(s) of operation of the two banks.
Basis for Corporation approval, September 29, 1960
This transaction solved a management succession problem, created by the impending
retirement of the executive officer, at the New Florence Bank. Broader and better
banking services will accrue to the New Florence area.

The Peoples Bank of Trenton, with offices at Trenton, Riverview, Rockwood
and Gibraltar, Michigan, has assets of $16,455,743 and deposits of $15,012,665 and
net current operating income in 1959 of $159,573. The State Savings Bank of Flat
Rock, with offices at Flat Rock, Michigan, has assets of $4,743,364 and deposits
of $4,286,721 and had a net operating income in 1959 of $49,622.
These banks are located within the same trade area and the area appears to have
sufficiently available banking facilities so that the combining of the seventh largest
and eighth largest, on the basis of deposits resulting in less than 9 % of the banking
resources in the area, with the consolidated bank being able to offer improved and
expanded service to the public in this area would not appear to have a substantial
adverse effect upon competition.
Basis for Corporation approval, October 6, 1960
In recent years industrial expansion and population growth have been very rapid
in this general area south of Detroit, creating a need for enlarged and improved
banking services. The consolidating banks are among the smallest in the service area
and both have been hard pressed to provide adequate credit accommodations in this
expanding economy. Although the resulting institution will still face the competition
of the several considerably larger banks in the area its ability to serve the needs
of the area will be materially enhanced.

Summary report by Attorney General, August 29, 1960
It is estimated that subsequent to the acquisition, Titusville Trust will have $28.6
million as combined banking resources, as compared with Second National’s $5.8
million, the only other banking institution in the trade area. Citizens will of course
become a part of Titusville Trust. Titusville Trust accordingly will dominate the
area to an important degree.
Without passing upon their propriety, historical relationships between the banks
have indicated an absence of competition between them. The applicants have stated
that for some time there has been a close relationship between Titusville Trust and
Citizens, both from an investment and personnel standpoint, and “it has been the
practice for many years for the active management of [Citizens] to confer with the
management of [Titusville Trust] on all major policy matters.”

Based upon the facts as to existing competition in the field of commercial banking
in the area served by these banks, it would appear that the fact of the proposed
acquisition alone would not bring about a substantial lessening of competition in
the area or serve to increase substantially the relative size of Titusville.
Basis for Corporation approval, October 6, 1960
These two banks are only six miles distant from each other. Through ownership
and management they have been closely associated since 1920, and the general public
has regarded them as a single institution. Actually, the purchase and assumption
does little more than change the corporate aspects of the participants.

1959 of $122,174. The Riverdale State Savings Bank with offices at Riverdale and

a net current operating income in 1959 of $12,097.
These banks are located within the same trade area and the area appears to have
sufficiently available banking facilities so that the combining of the sixteenth largest

need of modernization, additional personnel, and larger capital would not appear
to have a substantial adverse effect upon competition.

(1) Suburban Trust is already by far the largest bank in the Prince Georges—
Montgomery County area. It presently accounts for over 36% of the banking
resources in this area and is over three times as large as its largest competitor.
The merger of Suburban Trust with the Maryland State Bank would contribute
to a recent series of mergers which would substantially increase Suburban’s size,
thus increasing its already substantial advantages over its smaller competitors
with a resulting tendency to monopoly.
(2) The Maryland State Bank would be eliminated as a successful, independent
competitive factor in commercial banking in this area. Although the banks’ merger
application stresses the need for increased banking facilities in the Gaithersburg—
Germantown area in which the Maryland State Bank operates the only existing
banking offices, it would appear that this need could better be met by the opening
of new banking offices which would insure that such increased facilities would
be accompanied by effective competition. The proposed merger, on the contrary,
would eliminate an effective existing competitor and the size of Suburban Trust
may be expected to stifle rather than encourage future competition.
Basis for Corporation approval, November 22, 1960
Friction between two groups in the management at Maryland State Bank and
lack of coordination in the supervision of its affairs have caused a deterioration in
its condition. There is a definite public need for increased and improved banking
services in the Gaithersburg-Germantown area, and Suburban Trust through its
branch coverage of a two-county area and its sound management in depth is fully
competent to supply these services.

The proposed merger involves banks ranking second and third in deposits and
loans within their immediate trading area. The merged bank would become the largest
in its area, and there would remain one large and six smaller banks.
Both banks compete for the same types of business, and the proposed merger
would eliminate this substantial competition. In view of the small size of some of
the remaining banks in the area the merger may also have a tendency to monopoly.
Basis for Corporation approval, December 1, 1960
This merger eliminates one competitive bank; however, any decrease in competition
is overshadowed by the positive benefits that will accrue to the public by having a
larger locally owned bank. This area has experienced a rapid growth and the merged

Summary report by Attorney General, November 23, 1960
The merger of the Suburban Trust Company, Hyattsville, Maryland, with the
Bank of Maryland, Seat Pleasant, Maryland, would have the following effects upon
competition:
(1) The merger would eliminate substantial existing competition between the
two banks.
(2) The merger would eliminate the Bank of Maryland as a substantial inde
pendent competitive factor offering an alternative source of banking services.
The Bank of Maryland has in recent years been a vigorous competitor in commercial
banking in the Prince Georges County— Montgomery County area, and as the
area’s fourth largest bank it clearly constitutes an important alternative source
of banking services.
(3) The merger would continue to increase the competitive advantages of
Suburban Trust over its smaller competitors. As a result of this merger and of the
bank’s proposed merger with the Maryland State Bank, Suburban Trust would be
nearly four times as large as its largest competitor. The growth of this great dis
parity of size between Suburban Trust and the remaining banks in the area will
clearly make it more difficult for these remaining banks to compete effectively.
(4) The merger constitutes a major step in a tendency toward monopolization
by Suburban Trust of commercial banking in the Prince Georges County— Mont
gomery County area. The proposed merger is the third of a series by which Suburban
Trust has in less than a year attempted to substantially increase its position in
commercial banking in Prince Georges and Montgomery Counties. As a result of
these mergers Suburban Trust’s share of the area’s total banking resources is now
approaching 50% while its next largest competitor still accounts for less than 12%.
Such growth by acquisition, combined with Suburban Trust’s already dominant
position, clearly constitutes a tendency toward monopoly.
Basis for Corporation approval, December 8, 1960
The field of competition in which the merging banks have been engaged cannot
realistically be limited to two counties in Maryland. The merging institutions have
long been subject to intense competition from large District of Columbia banks
which have numerous branch offices located near the line separating the District

from Montgomery and Prince Georges Counties. That Suburban Trust is extremely
active in the District of Columbia is shown by the fact that one-eighth of its personal
loan and automobile loan customers (with loans aggregating in excess of $1.5 million)
reside in the District; almost one-fourth of its customers maintaining checking ac
counts with balances of $25,000 or more reside in the District; and more than onethird of commercial loan customers with approved lines of more than $10,000 each
(aggregating almost $8,000,000) have places of business in the District. Furthermore,
nine of thirty directors have their main offices in the District, and 13 percent of the
bank’s shareholders reside in the District.
The result of this transaction is a suburban bank with the financial strength and
widespread branch system justifying the confidence and serving the convenience of
the area, capable of providing the required banking services for industrial and com
mercial expansion in the region, and capable of effectively competing for business
with competitor banks of the District. The resulting bank will be a substantial aid
to additional economic expansion in the regional area. Upon the injection of the
required new capital funds, approximating $2 million, (effected on April 17, 1961,)
and the resulting ability to make commercial and industrial loans in excess of SI
million each, this bank will be able to more adequately and capably service its area
of effective competition. The substantial public benefits of increased lending power
and capacity for more intense competition with other banks outweigh the elimination
of one bank.

Summary report by Attorney General, September 30, 1960
The proposed merger of Bank of Fountain, Fountain, North Carolina, into Edge
combe Bank and Trust Company, Tarboro, North Carolina, will unite two small
banks which compete with several large banks, including the two largest in the State.
The acquiring bank, Edgecombe Bank and Trust, has increased its resources from
$1,226,000 at its organization in 1942, to $6,606,000 presently, in what is primarily
an agricultural area. The smaller bank has total resources of $1,130,000.
The merger will apparently not result in any seriously adverse competitive effects.
Basis for Corporation approval, December 8, 1960
Both of these small banks serve areas which are primarily agricultural. The Edge
combe Bank’s farm management service will become available to and benefit the
farmers in the Fountain section who do not now have such service. Joined together
the two banks can somewhat better compete with the State’s two largest branch
bank systems which are active in their service areas.

Summary report by Attorney General, November 17, 1960
The proposed acquisition of First Trust and Savings Bank, Wheatland, Iowa, by
the Dixon Savings Bank, Dixon, Iowa, will unite two small banks now competing
with about a dozen other small banks in the surrounding area. The acquiring bank,
Dixon Savings Bank, has increased its net operating income from $9,034.59 in 1955
to $25,506.12 in 1959, and has total assets of $1,405,000. The other bank has total
assets of $2,832,000.
The acquisition apparently will not have substantial adverse competitive effects.
Basis for Corporation approval, December 15, 1960
The broadened and improved banking services resulting from this
will benefit the communities of Dixon, Wheatland and Lost Nation.

Summary report by Attorney General, September 9, 1960
The Department of Justice has reported to the Federal Deposit Insurance Corpo
ration that the proposed merger of the Security Bank of Oregon, Portland, Oregon,
and the Pioneer Bank of Milwaukie, Milwaukie, Oregon, would not have substantial
adverse effects on competition.
The Security Bank of Oregon, which operates four banking offices in the City of
Portland and one in Trautdale, controls less than one percent of the area’s commercial
bank deposits. Merger of the Security Bank of Oregon with the Pioneer Bank of
Milwaukie, the smallest commercial bank in the area, would increase the share of
the area’s commercial bank deposits held by the Security Bank of Oregon by less
than three-tenths of one percent.
If the merger is effectuated, the Security Bank of Oregon will acquire a small bank,
in a rapidly developing suburban area to the south of Portland where it is not presently
represented, with which it presently competes, if at all, only to a limited extent.
The merger will result in the elimination of a minor competitive factor in the area.
Nevertheless, the increase in concentration will be small and the effects on concen
tration in Portland and the surrounding suburban communities will not be substantial.

Milwaukie is a rapidly growing suburb of Portland and has become a major distri
bution and warehousing center. The increased banking resources available to Mil
waukie as a result of this merger will be an important element in the continued
expansion of that area.

Summary report by Attorney General, November 25, 1960
The proposed merger would unite the fourth largest bank in the BethlehemAllentown area with the sixth in size among six banks in the area. The trend in banking
in the area has been toward consolidation, each of the two banks in Bethlehem having
acquired another bank in 1959 and the largest bank in Allentown, which is the largest
bank in the area, has just acquired a $20,000,000 bank.
The possibility should be noted that the cumulative effect of such consolidations in
the pertinent area, including the one under consideration, may give rise to further
consolidations among competing banks with substantial adverse competitive results.
Basis for Corporation approval, December 21, 1960
The relatively small Liberty Bank has not been an active competitor in its effective
area of existing competition. This bank has not been able to keep pace with its com
petitors which have from five to almost fifteen times its resources. Its substitution
by a branch of the resulting bank where management is aggressive will have the effect
of increasing competition in all fields of banking, particularly installment lending and
residential home mortgages. This will be of material benefit to the public.

Summary report by Attorney General, November 17, 1960
The proposed merger of Industrial Trust and Perkiomen National would not appear
to present serious competitive problems. Industrial Trust is a Philadelphia metro
politan bank with a number of branch offices located in Philadelphia alone. Its distance
from East Greenville leads to the conclusion that its competitive activity in that area
is quite remote. On balance the proposed merger would not appear to adversely affect
competition to any substantial degree in the competitive area involved.

The East Greenville area will materially benefit by the introduction to that com

increased lending base now available.
No. 21— First Seneca Bank and Trust Company,
Oil City, Pennsylvania
to acquire the assets and assume the liabilities of
Farmers and Merchants Trust Company, Greenville
60,896

8,893

1
Summary report by Attorney General, December 5, 1960
The proposed acquisition would have little, if any, adverse effect on competition
between the two banks, inasmuch as they do not, for practical purposes, compete with
each other at the present time. However, First Seneca Bank and Trust Company is
the largest bank in the service areas in which it does business, and the acquisition would
further increase the disparity in size between it and its competitors. The same situation
would exist in the service areas in which the resulting bank would do business. Further,
in Greenville, the service area of Farmers and Merchants Trust Company, the resulting
bank would be much larger than First National Bank of Mercer County, which is now
Farmers and Merchants only competitor.
These changes in size effected by the proposed merger would tend toward creating
a monopoly in the resulting bank in each of its service areas and probably would pro
mote efforts by smaller commercial banks toward merger or acquisition, thus perhaps
increasing the tendency toward concentration of commercial banking facilities in
those areas.
Basis for Corporation approval, December 29, 1960
The merging banks do not presently compete with each other. The modest increase
in resources of First Seneca, as a result of this merger, will have inconsequential effects
on the Oil City area where the resulting bank will still face keen competition from a
strong national bank, six savings and loan associations, twenty-one sales finance and
personal loan companies, and four credit unions, which collectively offer intense
competition. Such competition will continue. The principal effect of this transaction
will be to furnish Greenville with larger and more diversified banking resources and
to intensify competition for the banking business in a trade area of some 25,000
population which is now served only by the Farmers and Merchants and its commercial
bank competitor which is three times larger. The larger lending facilities, broader
services, and more aggressive management resulting from the merger will be of
substantial benefit to the Greenville area.
1 Unless otherwise indicated, the first named bank is the resulting insured nonmember bank.

Table 109.
Distribution of insured commercial banks in the United States (States and other
areas), December 31, 1960
Banks grouped according to amount of deposits and by ratios of selected items to
assets
The data in these tables relate to banks operating in the United States
(States and other areas). Data from the same tabulations for all banks
in each State and other area are also shown in the Corporation’s
publication, “Assets, Liabilities, and Capital Accounts, Commercial and
Mutual Savings Banks,” as follows:
For June 15, 1960
Report No. 53, pp. 6-7.
For December 31, 1960
Report No. 54, pp. 6-7.
Statements of assets and liabilities are submitted by Insured com
mercial banks upon either a cash or an accrual basis, depending upon
the bank's method of bookkeeping. Assets reported represent aggregate
book value, on the date of call, less valuation and premium reserves.
In the case of banks with one or more domestic branches, the assets
and liabilities reported are consolidations of figures for the head office
and all domestic branches. In the case of a bank with foreign branches,
net amounts due from its own foreign branches are included in “ Other
assets,” and net amounts due to its own foreign branches are included
in “ Other liabilities.” Branches outside the continental United States
of insured banks in the United States are treated as separate entities
but as in the case of other branches are not included in the count of
banks. Data for such branches are not included in the figures for the
States in which the parent banks are located.
Demand balances with and demand deposits due to banks in the
United States, except private banks and American branches of foreign
banks, exclude reciprocal interbank deposits. Reciprocal interbank
deposits arise when two banks maintain deposit accounts with each
other.
Individual loan items are reported gross instead of net of valuation
reserves. Accordingly, reserves for losses on loans are shown separately.
Total deposits shown in these tables are not the same as the deposits
upon which assessments paid to the Federal Deposit Insurance Corpora
tion are based. The assessment base is slightly lower due to certain
exclusions which are permitted and deductions which may be claimed.
Asset and liability data for noninsured banks are tabulated from
reports pertaining to the individual banks. In a few cases these reports
are not as detailed as those submitted by insured banks, and some of
the items reported have been allocated to more detailed categories
according to the distribution of asset and liability data for insured
State banks not members of the Federal Reserve System or for other
noninsured banks.
Sources of data
National banks and State banks in the District of Columbia not
members of the Federal Reserve System: Office of the Comptroller
of the Currency.
State banks members of the Federal Reserve System: Board of
Governors of the Federal Reserve System.
Other insured banks: Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation.
Noninsured banks: State banking authorities; and reports from
individual banks.

KS
Assets and liabilities held in or administered by a savings, bond,
insurance, real estate, foreign, or any other department of a bank,
except a trust department, are consolidated with the respective assets
and liabilities of the commercial department. “Deposits of individuals,
partnerships, and corporations” include trust funds deposited by a trust
department in a commercial or savings department. Other assets held
in trust are not included in statements of assets and liabilities.
Instalment loans are ordinarily reported net if the instalment pay
ments are applied directly to the reduction of the loan. Such loans are
reported gross if, under contract, the payments do not immediately
reduce the unpaid balances of the loan but are assigned or pledged to
assure repayment at maturity.

Sources of data
National banks and State banks not members of the Federal Reserve
System in the District of Columbia: Office of the Comptroller of the
Currency.
Other insured banks: Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation.
BANKS
State banks members of the Federal Reserve System: Board of
Governors of the Federal Reserve System.
INSURED
The new form attempts to present operations on a basis accurately
reflecting actual income and profit and loss, and provides more detailed
information regarding losses and valuation adjustments. For a discussion
of the history and principles of this uniform report see pp. 50-52 in
Part Two of the 1951 Annual Report.
O
F
Averages of assets and liabilities shown in Tables 110-113 and 116
are based upon figures at the beginning, middle, and end of each year,
as reported by banks operating on those dates, adjusted to exclude asset
and liability figures for insured branches in Guam of an insured bank in
California as well as insured branches in Puerto Rico and the Virgin
Islands of insured banks in New York. Consequently, the asset and
liability averages are not strictly comparable with the earnings data,
but the differences are not large enough to affect the totals significantly.
Some further incomparability is also introduced into the data by class
of bank by shifts between those classes during the year.
A uniform report of income, expenses, and dividends for mutual
savings banks was adopted by the Corporation for the calendar year 1951.
Summaries of these reports for 1952-1960 are given in Tables 117 and
118.
DIVIDENDS
The uniform report of earnings and dividends for commercial banks
was revised in 1948 to show separately for the first time charge-offs
and transfers to valuation reserves as well as recoveries and transfers
from valuation reserves. Also, the actual recoveries and losses that are
credited and charged to valuation reserves were reported as memoranda
items.
Mutual savings banks
E X P E N S E S , AND
Earnings data are included for all insured banks operating at the end
of the respective years, unless indicated otherwise. In addition, ap
propriate adjustments have been made for banks in operation during
part of the year but not at the end of the year. Data for 3 insured
branches in Guam of an insured bank in California, for 13 insured
branches in Puerto Rico and for 4 insured branches in the Virgin Islands
of insured banks in New York are not available.
E A R N IN G S,
Reports of earnings, expenses, and dividends are submitted to the
Federal supervisory agencies on either a cash or an accrual basis.
Assets and liabilities shown in Table 114, and utilized for computation
of ratios shown in Table 115, are for the identical banks to which the
earnings data pertain. The assets and liabilities are as of December 31,
1960.

Recoveries and losses by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation on principal
disbursements for protection of depositors, 1934-1960
in financial difficulties are paid off, or when the deposits of a failing
bank are assumed by another insured bank with the financial aid of the
Corporation. In deposit payoff cases the disbursement is the amount
paid by the Corporation on insured deposits. In deposit assumption
cases the principal disbursement is the amount loaned to failing banks,
or the price paid for assets purchased from them; additional disburse
ments are made in those cases as advances for protection of assets in
process of liquidation and for liquidation expenses.
Noninsured bank failures
One noninsured bank failed in 1960. This was Boulder Industrial
Bank, Boulder, Colorado, which suspended October 10, 1960, having
deposits of $1,035,000.
For suspensions of noninsured banks in previous years see the Annual
Reports of the Corporation as follows: 1943, p. 102; 1946, p. 167;
1947, p. 159; 1949, p. 187; 1950, p. 277; 1951, p. 187; 1952, p. 139;
