Impactful Policy Frameworks
Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (2010)
While enacted in 2010, its various provisions, particularly those related to consumer protection (e.g., through the CFPB) and systemic risk oversight, continue to be actively interpreted, enforced, and debated, especially regarding community banks' compliance burdens.
It mandates stringent compliance requirements for banks, affecting their operational costs and product offerings, particularly for smaller institutions like Hilltop.bank.
Basel III Endgame (Proposed, 2023)
The Basel III 'endgame' proposal by U.S. regulators (Federal Reserve, OCC, FDIC) in July 2023 seeks to finalize capital requirements based on international standards, significantly impacting how banks calculate and hold capital for various risks.
This proposal could increase capital requirements for Hilltop.bank, potentially limiting its lending capacity or increasing the cost of capital, particularly for its commercial lending activities.
CECL (Current Expected Credit Losses) Standard (Effective 2020 for most banks)
The Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) ASC 326, known as CECL, requires banks to forecast and reserve for expected credit losses over the lifetime of financial instruments, rather than waiting for incurred losses.
CECL requires Hilltop.bank to adopt new accounting methodologies for loan loss provisioning, impacting its financial statements and requiring more sophisticated data analytics for risk assessment.
