Certain Regulatory Reporting Requirements for a Foreign Banking Organization in the United States

Abstract

My former employer of thirty-three years is a Japanese financial institution (the “Bank”) and is subject to comprehensive regulation in the United States at both the Federal and State levels. It is a foreign banking organization (“FBO”), a bank holding company (“BHC”) and a branch of a FBO operating in New York. It is a FBO because it is organized under the laws of Japan. It is a BHC because it owns a domestic, New Jersey state-chartered bank. As both a FBO and BHC it is subject to regulation by the Federal Reserve Board (the “FRB”), which delegates its supervision to the Federal Reserve Bank of New York (the “FRBNY”). Its New York Branch is licensed by the New York State Department of Financial Services (the “NYSDFS”) as a branch of a FBO. Its New Jersey subsidiary is regulated by the New Jersey Department of Banking and Insurance (“NJDBI”) and, because its deposits are Federally insured, by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”).
