FDIC Rule on Assessments, Dividends, Assessment Base, and Large Bank Pricing

On February 7, the FDIC approved a final rule on assessments, dividends, assessment base, and large bank pricing. The rule implements changes to the deposit insurance assessment system, as required by the Dodd-Frank Act, and revises the assessment system applicable to large banks to eliminate reliance on debt issuer ratings and make it more forward looking.
