Lawmakers fret over backdoor entry to banking for big companies

Lawmakers fret over backdoor entry to banking for big companies Caitlin Reilly © Provided by Roll Call “If you want to be a bank, you need to be regulated like a bank,” says Rep. Blaine Luetkemeyer. Lawmakers from both parties are expressing concerns about potential risks posed by state-chartered industrial loan companies that can blend financial services and other commercial activities. At a hearing last week, they questioned whether the process sought by financial technology companies that have no history of taking deposits will give these companies a backdoor entry into banking that could exempt them from some oversight. Rep. Ed Perlmutter, D-Colo., said the entry of commercial companies into the financial services arena poses questions about “market fairness and financial stability.”

New York Enacts Legislative Fix for Legacy LIBOR Contracts Governed by NY Law; Will a Federal Fix Be Next? | Morgan Lewis

To embed, copy and paste the code into your website or blog: The State of New York has enacted a new law that should ease the transition away from US dollar LIBOR for legacy financial contracts that are governed by New York law but do not contain modern benchmark fallback provisions. A similar federal law is in the works, which if passed would apply nationwide. The London Inter-Bank Offered Rate, or LIBOR, is a global interest rate benchmark index based on the average of the inter-bank offered rates for deposits of various currencies and durations in the London market based on quotations of major banks. Floating interest rates embedded in many types of financial contracts, including loans, derivatives, and bonds, are often calculated by reference to LIBOR, with a spread of a given number of basis points.

U S House passes cannabis banking reform bill on eve of 4/20

Experts say the bill could slash red tape in a sprouting market plagued by costly compliances.  The SAFE Act would prohibit federal banking regulators from penalizing a depository institute for accepting a legitimate marijuana business as a client. It would also prohibit regulators from denying or limiting depository insurance to banks with legitimate marijuana clients. If passed by the Senate and signed into law by President Joe Biden, the legislation would allow banks to provide services to cannabis companies in legal states. Geoffrey Lawrence, a senior policy fellow at Reason Foundation, told The Center Square the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FCEN) issued some financial service guidelines for marijuana in 2014. Still, they were so cumbersome that servicing marijuana clients would cost more than the revenue generated.
