What are FDIC Filings?

U.S. Banks with Publicly Traded Equity must file with the FDIC, in a similar fashion to public companies filing with the SEC.

For banks with publicly distributed equity securities subject to the registration provisions of sections of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the Exchange Act) and Part 335, the FDIC is vested with the powers, functions, and duties of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) to administer and enforce various securities regulations. 

What do FDIC Filings Contain?

The information available to the public in this system includes periodic reports (e.g., annual reports on Form 10-K, quarterly reports on Form 10-Q, and current reports on Form 8-K), proxy soliciting material, and other securities disclosure documents submitted electronically by FDIC-supervised depository institutions and associated parties reporting to the FDIC under the Exchange Act. The Exchange Act requires the FDIC to make these securities disclosure filings available to the public, similar to SEC Filings.

Why are FDIC Beneficial?

FDIC filings give investors, analysts, and IR teams a clear view into the health of FDIC-insured financial institutions. Firms use them for due diligence, while analysts rely on them to build comps, models, and recommendations.

These filings also serve as macroeconomic indicators, showing trends in deposits, loan growth, and asset quality that inform financial forecasts. For IR teams, quarterly updates help benchmark performance against peers and ensure they’re prepared to address the Street with confidence.
