Press Release: FDIC Issues List of Banks Examined for CRA Compliance
PRESS RELEASE | JULY 2, 2026 FDIC Issues List of Banks Examined for CRA Compliance WASHINGTON — The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) today issued its list of state nonmember banks recently evaluated for compliance with the Community Reinvestment Act (CRA). The list covers evaluation ratings that the FDIC assigned to institutions in April 2026. The CRA is a 1977 law that requires the FDIC to assess a bank’s record of meeting the credit needs of its entire community, including those of low- and moderate-income neighborhoods, consistent with safe and sound operations. As part of the Financial Institutions Reform, Recovery, and Enforcement Act of 1989 (FIRREA), Congress mandated the public disclosure of an evaluation and rating for each bank or thrift that undergoes a CRA examination on or after July 1, 1990. You may obtain a consolidated list of all state nonmember banks whose evaluations have been made publicly available since July 1, 1990, including the rating for each bank, or obtain a hard copy from FDIC's Public Information Center, 3501 Fairfax Drive, Room E-1002, Arlington, VA 22226 (877-275-3342 or 703-562-2200). A copy of an individual bank's CRA evaluation is available directly from the bank, which is required by law to make the material available upon request, or from the FDIC's Public Information Center. # # # ATTACHMENTS: July 2026 List of Banks Examined for CRA Compliance Monthly List of Banks Examined for CRA Compliance MEDIA CONTACT: MediaRequests@fdic.gov The FDIC does not send unsolicited email.

At launch, the SPYM will serve as the default investment for all Trump Accounts. In the coming months, Treasury expects to make available functionality that will allow parents or guardians to choose how to allocate funds across the additional investment options. Until that functionality is available, all contributions will remain invested in the default fund. Treasury will announce when investment election functionality becomes available and will provide instructions for responsible parties wishing to change their account's investment allocation.
