F.D.I.C. Says Banks Need to Keep a Record of Their Fintech Customers

Published On Sep 17, 2024, 10:59 AM

The FDIC has proposed new regulations requiring banks that hold customer deposits for fintech companies to track customers' identities and balances. This move comes after the collapse of Synapse Financial Technologies, which left many customers cut off from their funds. The proposed rules aim to ensure better record-keeping, making it easier for the FDIC to determine the deposit insurance coverage for customers should a financial institution fail.

Stock Forecasts

Despite potential challenges for small banks due to increased regulation, larger banks with established fintech partnerships may adapt more easily. Therefore, larger institutions could benefit from these rules as they enhance consumer trust and security in fintech offerings, making their stocks more attractive.
