FDIC: Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation

The FDIC speaks to banks through Financial Institution Letters, numbered FIL-NN-YYYY, and to the public through press releases. Enforcement is disclosed once a month, on the last Friday, as a press release listing the prior month's orders; the orders themselves live in a Salesforce application that plain fetchers cannot read. The FDIC no longer runs its own RSS; its feeds are GovDelivery topic feeds holding the last three to five items.

What FDIC publishes

• Financial Institution Letters (FIL-55-2026 and counting)
• Press releases: monthly enforcement digest, quarterly banking profile, CRA lists, bank failures
• Enforcement decisions and orders (dockets like FDIC-25-0056p)
• Board matters: notational votes and open meetings
• Consumer News and the failed bank list

Cadence. About 60 FILs and 95 press releases a year. The enforcement release lands on the last Friday of the month with roughly a four-week lag (July 2026 actions published August 28). Five bank failures in 2026 through August.

What to treat as urgent

• FILs with a compliance date, especially joint statements issued alongside the OCC and Federal Reserve.
• The monthly enforcement release: consent orders and prohibition orders name individuals as well as banks.
• Bank failure announcements, which arrive on Friday evenings.

Quirks worth knowing

• Press-release numbers are no longer shown on the redesigned site; FIL numbers are.
• The FIL feed also carries non-FIL bulletins.
• Old press-release URLs soft-redirect to the listing page without a 404.
• The 'Special Alerts' channel for counterfeit instruments appears dormant.
