Deposit insurance national bank

A deposit insurance national bank (DINB, /ˈdɪnbi/ DIN-bee[1]) is a temporary bank in the United States that is established by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) in the wake of a bank failure under the Banking Acts of 1933 and 1935.[2]

Characteristics

DINBs are chartered by the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency. Upon creation, the bank assumes the failed bank's insured deposits and temporarily provides banking services to customers.[3] A DINB's powers are narrowly limited to servicing the insured deposits of a failed bank; it cannot acquire assets from the failed bank, as a bridge bank can, nor can it accept uninsured deposits, unless it is the only depository institution in its community.[2][4]

The bank is managed by an executive officer appointed by the FDIC.[3] A DINB is not required to have paid-in capital stock,[5] has no board of directors,[6] and is not required to own stock in a Federal Reserve Bank.[7] Otherwise it conforms to the National Bank Act and other laws relevant to national banks.[8]

A DINB can operate for up to two years.[3] It can be acquired by another bank in its community, raise capital to become a permanent bank, or wind down and transfer its obligations to the FDIC.[2]

DINBs were initially the only way that the FDIC could resolve a failed institution. The first DINB was the Deposit Insurance National Bank of East Peoria, created when Fond Du Lac State Bank was closed by Illinois regulators on May 26, 1934.[9][10] Under this original deposit insurance system, the FDIC assumed receivership of nine insured banks and paid off their deposits through DINBs.[11]

After the Banking Act of 1935 permitted the FDIC to pay out depositors without establishing a DINB, use of this resolution method largely ceased, except for cases where a bank failed in an area with only limited banking services or where a prompt pay-out was not possible.[9] For example, 1975 saw failures of Swope Parkway National Bank, a Black-owned business serving the local Black community, and The Peoples Bank of the Virgin Islands, which was the only locally owned institution in the U.S. Virgin Islands; a DINB was created for each in hopes of giving the community time to establish a replacement institution.[1] Only five DINBs were created by the FDIC between 1935 and 1998.[12]

Initially, the FDIC responded to the 2023 collapse of Silicon Valley Bank by forming a Deposit Insurance National Bank of Santa Clara[13] because no institution was immediately willing to assume its substantial uninsured deposits. After the Treasury granted an exception to cover the uninsured deposits, the DINB was replaced with a bridge bank named Silicon Valley Bridge Bank, N.A.[14][15]
