The federal financial regulatory agencies issued final guidance today to
address the risks associated with funding and credit concentrations
arising from correspondent relationships.
A correspondent relationship occurs when a financial organization
provides another financial organization with services related to deposits,
lending, or other activities.
The guidance highlights the need for institutions to identify, monitor, and
manage correspondent concentration risk on a standalone and
organization-wide basis. The guidance also reinforces the supervisory
view that financial institutions should perform appropriate due diligence
on all credit exposures to, and funding transactions with, other financial
institutions as part of their risk management policies and procedures.
The guidance does not supplant or amend applicable regulations such
as Limitations on Interbank Liabilities (Regulation F).
