Correspondent Concentration Risks — 2010-05-04 [2010-10382]

The FDIC, Board, OCC, and OTS (the Agencies) are issuing final guidance on Correspondent Concentration Risks (CCR Guidance). The CCR Guidance outlines the Agencies' expectations for financial institutions to identify, monitor, and manage credit and funding concentrations to other institutions on a standalone and organization-wide basis, and to take into account exposures to the correspondents' affiliates, as part of their prudent risk management practices. Institutions also should be aware of their affiliates' exposures to correspondents as well as the correspondents' subsidiaries and affiliates. In addition, the CCR Guidance addresses the Agencies' expectations for financial institutions to perform appropriate due diligence on all credit exposures to and funding transactions with other financial institutions.
