This page compiles links to banking-related statutes, regulations, and similar material relevant to the work of the FDIC. The Federal Deposit Insurance Act (FDI Act) specifically governs the FDIC. The FDI Act, as amended, is displayed on this site in full text, with sections numbered as it was enacted (rather than as-codified). FDIC Rules and regulations are promulgated by the FDIC under its statutory authority and mandates. FDIC and Interagency Statements provide guidance for insured institutions. Title 12 of the United States Code covers banks and banking, and is linked from the U.S. House of Representatives’ Office of the Law Revision Counsel (OLRC), which prepares the United States Code. Other federal financial agencies maintain their relevant banking laws and regulations on their own sites, which we link to below.
