CASSIDI
The St. Louis Fed's online application, CASSIDI®, gives you the ability to view nationwide banking market structures and definitions, see which banking markets an institution operates in, and perform "what if" (pro forma) analyses to look at the potential impact a merger or acquisition could have on banking market structures and competition.

NEW: Application Filing Information 
This web site, which links to the Board of Governors, contains general information about the types of filings required by the Federal Reserve and how they are processed. (Recommended!)

Federal Reserve Membership
Discover why a state-chartered bank should consider membership in the Federal Reserve System.

Overview

The Bank's Supervision and Regulation Department is responsible for processing various types of applications received from bank holding companies (BHC) and state member banks. Examples of transactions by BHCs that require prior Federal Reserve System approval are:

  • BHC formations,
  • bank and BHC acquisitions,
  • nonbank activities or acquisitions,
  • stock redemptions and
  • declarations of financial holding company status.

Examples of state member bank transactions that require Federal Reserve System approval are:

  • obtaining Federal Reserve System membership (for state-chartered banks),
  • merging with another bank,
  • establishing branches,
  • making investment in the premises (in some instances),
  • paying of dividends (in some instances),
  • beginning to offer trust services and
  • establishing a financial subsidiary

Material changes in ownership for BHCs, financial holding companies and state member banks also may require prior approval of the Federal Reserve System. Most applications can be approved by a financial institution's Federal Reserve Bank; however, applications that present significant issues or raise policy questions may require review and action by the Board of Governors in Washington, D.C.
