  6. 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) • Historically allowed greater freedom to diversify into corporate bonds and stocks • Rely more on deposits than savings associations and have fewer borrowed funds

  7. Real Estate Assets of Savings Associations and Savings Banks (2004)

  8. Regulators of Savings Institutions • The 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. 3. Credit Unions • Are not-for-profit depository institutions mutually organized and owned by their members (depositors) • Funding almost totally from 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 • Deposits insured by the NCUSIF • Exempt from corporate taxes • Growth is not the primary goal

  13. 4. S&L Crisis • 1930s Basic Regulatory Structure put in place. • S&Ls limited to fixed rate mortgage loans • Deposit Insurance with fixed premium • Deposits insured by FSLIC • Deposit rate ceilings (Regulation Q) • 1970s - Fluctuating and increasing interest rates lead to deposit outflows

  14. S&L Crisis • Initial response - Deregulation • removed deposit rate ceilings • lessened investment restrictions • raised insurance ceiling to $100,000 from $40,000 • Record high interest rates in early 80s lead to losses • Many S&Ls economically insolvent • FSLIC economically insolvent

  15. S&L Crisis • Next response - regulatory forbearance • Allow insolvent S&Ls to continue in operation rather than close them down • FSLIC did not have sufficient funds to close insolvent S&Ls and payoff depositors • Hoped the problems would go away

  16. S&L Crisis • S&Ls attempt to “grow out of the problem” • commercial real estate loans • junk bonds • brokered deposits • Increased the moral hazard because an operating but insolvent S&L, a zombie S&L, has nothing to lose by taking on greater risk • Zombie S&Ls attracted deposits away from healthy S&L's by offering higher interest rates • FSLIC fund was bankrupt by the end of 1986

  17. S&L Crisis • Next Response – re-regulation (Financial Institutions Reform, Recovery, and Enforcement Act, 1989) • Zombie thrifts finally closed • New supervisory agency (Office of Thrift Supervision) • Insurance moved to FDIC • Higher capital standards • Risk based capital and risk based deposit insurance premiums • Investment restrictions

  18. 5. Finance Company Functions • Originated during the Depression when General Electric Corp. created GE Capital Corp. to finance appliance sales to cash-strapped customers • In the late 1950’s, banks became more willing to make installment loans so finance companies branched out into leasing and leveraged buyouts • Willing to lend to riskier borrowers • Often are directly affiliated with manufacturing • Limited regulation

  19. Three Major Types of Finance Companies • Sales finance institutions • finance companies specializing in loans to customers of a particular retailer or manufacturer (e.g., Ford Motor Credit and Sears Roebuck Acceptance Corp.) • Personal credit institutions • finance companies specializing in installment and other loans to consumers (e.g., Household Finance Corp. and American General Finance) • Business credit institutions • finance companies specializing in business loans, leasing, and factoring (e.g., CIT Group and Heller Financial)

  22. Balance Sheet • Assets • Business and consumer loans (called accounts receivable) and real estate loans • Liabilities and equity • FCs cannot accept deposits, so they rely heavily on issuing short-term commercial paper and other debt instruments (longer-term notes and bonds) to finance assets

  24. Consumer Loans • Motor vehicle loans and leases are the major type of consumer loan (80.4% in 2001) • Subprime lender - a finance company that lends to high-risk customers • Loan sharks - subprime lenders that charge unfairly exorbitant rates to desperate, subprime borrowers • Other consumer loans (19.6% in 2001) • personal cash loans • mobile home loans • loans for consumer goods

  25. Mortgages • Residential and commercial mortgages have become a major component of finance companies’ assets • Often issued to riskier borrowers and charge a higher interest rate for that risk • Securitized mortgage assets: mortgages packaged and used as assets backing secondary market securities • Bad debt expense and administrative costs of home equity loans are lower and have become a very attractive product for finance companies

  26. Business Loans • Represent the largest portion of the loan portfolio • Several advantages over commercial banks offered to small-business customers • they are not subject to regulations that restrict the type of products and services • do not accept deposits so no bank regulators • have substantial industry and product expertise • more willing to accept risky customers • generally have lower overheads • Business lending also includes equipment loans or leasing, purchase accounts receivable, small farm loans, wholesale loans/leases of mobile homes
