  • Until 2008, no US national bank was permitted to hold over 10% of total consumer deposits. 
  • The precautionary measure was adopted following the Great Depression. 
  • The policy was lifted, as a key provision of the US government coerced Bank of America- Countrywide merger agreement in January 2008.  
  • No reasonable explanation can be found for the current US banking regulation policy that is consistent with stability of US financial markets.
  • The current policy materially increases risks and volatility.
