The National Association of Industrial Bankers (NAIB), issued the a statement today regarding the filing of a new industrial bank application with the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) by PayPal Holdings, Inc.

The US Senate will take up the confirmation of 97 nominees under the new Senate rule that permits considering nominees together rather than individually. Included in this group will be Travis Hill to be Chairman of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation and Michael Selig to be the Chairman of the Commodity Futures Trading Commission.

Due to the angle of the sun in relation to the Earth, it is colder in December than in March when the spring equinox occurs. Regardless, it looks and feels like winter here in the nation’s capital.

The National Association of Industrial Bankers applauds the Senate Banking Committee for advancing the nomination of Travis Hill as Chairman of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation and urges swift confirmation by the full Senate.

The government is reopened and the House and Senate are back to work, at least until Thursday. The House and Senate are in recess next week for Thanksgiving and return on December 2. 

The National Association of Industrial Bankers today expressed deep concern over the Tenth Circuit’s decision upholding Colorado’s effort to extend its interest-rate laws to out-of-state, federally insured banks.

Last night, the Senate voted 60-40 to take up a package that would reopen the federal government and fund parts of the government for FY26. Included in the package are three of the 12 annual appropriations bills, including Military Construction and Veteran Affairs, Agriculture, and the Legislative Branch.
