Failed Bank Executives Accountability and Consequences Act
This bill requires financial regulators to reclaim compensation from bank executives and directors whose negligence caused a bank's failure. It allows the FDIC to claw back salaries, bonuses, and other compensation received in the two years before the bank failed (with no time limit for fraud), and imposes fines of up to $25,000 per day for negligent conduct. Executives found responsible for a bank's failure may also face orders prohibiting them from working in any insured bank. The law directly affects executives and directors of failed institutions like Silicon Valley Bank, Signature Bank, and First Republic Bank. It amends the Federal Deposit Insurance Act and Dodd-Frank Act to strengthen accountability mechanisms without limiting existing regulatory powers.
