Banks lose interest on Fed reserves
This bill would stop Federal Reserve banks from paying earnings on balances held at the Fed. This applies to balances held by or for depository institutions like banks, thrifts, and credit unions. If enacted, those institutions would lose that interest income. That could lead banks to pay lower interest on deposits, charge higher fees, or change loan pricing. The bill text gives no effective date, dollar amounts, or other program changes.
