SECTION 109 HOST STATE LOAN-TO-DEPOSIT RATIOS
The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC), the Federal Reserve Board,
and the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (“the agencies”) today are making
public the host state loan-to-deposit ratios' that the agencies will use to determine
compliance with section 109 of the Riegle-Neal Interstate Banking and Branching
Efficiency Act of 1994 (Interstate Act). Section 109 o f the Interstate Act prohibits a bank
from establishing or acquiring a branch or branches outside of its home state under the
Interstate Act primarily for the purpose of deposit production.
Section 109 provides a two-step process to test compliance with the statutory
requirements. The first step involves a loan-to-deposit ratio screen that compares a
bank’s statewide loan-to-deposit ratio2 to the host state loan-to-deposit ratio for a
particular state. If the bank’s statewide loan-to-deposit ratio in a state is at least one-half
of the published host state loan-to-deposit ratio for that state, the bank has complied with
section 109. If the bank’s ratio is less than one-half, the second step in section 109
requires the agencies to determine if the bank is reasonably helping to meet the credit
needs of the communities served by the bank. A bank that fails both steps is in violation
of section 109 and subject to sanctions by the agencies.
The agencies will update the host state loan-to-deposit ratios on an annual basis.

' The host state loan-to-deposit ratio is the ratio of total loans in a state to total
deposits from the state for all banks that have that state as their home state. For statechartered banks and FDIC-supervised savings banks, the home state is the state where the
bank was chartered. For national banks, the home state is the state where the bank’s main
office is located.
2The statewide loan-to-deposit ratio relates to an individual bank and is the ratio
of a bank’s loans to its deposits in a particular state where the bank has interstate
branches.

Due to the legislative intent against imposing regulatory burden, no additional
data were collected from the institutions to implement section 109. However, since
insufficient lending data were available on a geographic basis to calculate the statewide
ratios directly, the agencies used a proxy to estimate the host state loan-to-deposit ratio.
The agencies calculated the host state loan-to-deposit ratios using data obtained from the
Call Reports and Summary of Deposits reports, as of June 30, 1997. For each home state
bank, the agencies calculated the percentage of the bank’s total deposits attributable to
branches located in its home state (determined from the Summary of Deposits), and
applied this percentage to the bank’s total domestic loans (determined from the Call
Report) to estimate the amount of loans attributable to the home state. The host state
loan-to-deposit ratio was then calculated by separately totaling the loans and deposits for
the home state banks, and then dividing the sum of the loans by the sum of the deposits.
Banks designated as limited purpose or wholesale banks under the Community
Reinvestment Act (CRA) were excluded from the host state loan-to-deposit calculation,
recognizing that these banks could have very large loan portfolios, but few, if any,
deposits. Credit card banks, which typically have large loan portfolios but few deposits,
were also excluded, regardless of whether they had a limited purpose CRA-designation.
