Stress Tests to Preserve Bank Lending
You are affected because the Board's 2026 supervisory stress test is meant to help ensure large banks can keep lending to households and businesses during a severe recession. The Board uses the results of the stress test, in part, to set large bank capital requirements, and banks (including U.S. bank holding companies, covered savings and loan holding companies, and intermediate holding companies) with $100 billion or more in assets are subject to the supervisory stress test rules.
