  1. Chapter Twelve Thrift Institutions

  2. Overview: Three Categories on Thrift Institutions • Savings Associations (1,176 in 2001) • concentrated primarily on residential mortgages • Savings Banks (357 in 2001) • large concentration of residential mortgages • commercial loans • corporate bonds • corporate stock • Credit Unions (9,984 in 2001) • consumer loans funded with member deposits

  3. Savings Associations • Historically referred to as savings and loan (S&L) associations • Net interest margin - interest income minus interest expense divided by earning assets • Disintermediation - withdrawal of deposits from depository institutions to be reinvested elsewhere, e.g., money market mutual funds • Regulation Q ceiling - an interest ceiling imposed on small savings and time deposits at banks and thrifts until 1986 (continued)

  4. Regulator forbearance - a policy of the FSLIC not to close economically insolvent FIs, allowing them to continue in operation • Savings institutions - savings association and savings banks combined • Financial Institutions Reform, Recovery, and Enforcement Act (FIRREA) of 1989 - abolished the FSLIC and created a new savings association insurance fund (SAIF) under the management of the FDIC • QTL test- qualified thrift lender test that sets a floor on the mortgage-related assets that thrifts can hold • Mutual organization - an institution in which the liability holders are also the owners

  7. Savings Banks • Established as mutual organizations and largely confined to the East Coast and New England states • Deposits are insured by the FDIC under the Bank Insurance Fund (BIF) • Have been allowed greater freedom to diversify into corporate bonds and stocks • Rely more on deposits than savings associations and have fewer borrowed funds

  8. Regulators of Savings Institutions • Office of Thrift Supervision - established in 1989 under the FIRREA, charters and examines all federal savings institutions and supervises the holding companies of savings institutions • The FDIC - oversees, manages SAIF and BIF • SAIF - provides insurance coverage for savings associations • BIF - provides insurance coverage for savings banks • Other regulators - state-chartered savings institutions are regulated by state agencies

  9. Credit Unions • Are not-for-profit depository institutions mutually organized and owned by their members (depositors) • CU member deposits (shares) used to provide loans to other members with earnings from these loans used to pay interest on member deposits • Tend to hold higher levels of equity than other depository institutions • Can be federally chartered and regulated by NCUA or state chartered and regulated by the state • Growth is not the primary goal
