What is a Bankers Bank? By definition, a bankers bank is a bank insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, or a holding company which owns or controls such an insured bank, when the stock of such bank or holding company is owned exclusively by other banks and such bank or holding company and all subsidiaries thereof are engaged exclusively in providing services for other financial institutions and their officers, directors, and employees. Simply put, bankers banks are specially chartered banks that provide correspondent banking products and services to community banks. Their unique charters prohibit them from dealing with the general public and as such they never can become a competitor to the banks that they serve. Bankers banks operate much like cooperatives with their existence being tied to the strength and participation of their community bank membership. |
