Banks must outline options for troubled insurers

After a receiver is appointed, a Federal Home Loan Bank must supply a process and schedule within 10 days of the receiver’s request. It must cover returning collateral above the lending value needed for remaining secured debts, and returning collateral after full repayment. It also covers fees, deposits, other accounts, and possible repurchase or redemption of required or excess bank stock. On request, the bank must provide available, bank-acceptable options to renew or restructure outstanding loans to defer prepayment fees. Options remain subject to market conditions, loan terms, bank policies, and federal law and regulations; fee relief is not guaranteed. The law leaves intact the bank’s rights under federal rules limiting access to these loans.

Stronger bank rights when insurers face receivership

Effective immediately, New York limits how receivers managing troubled insurers can undo Federal Home Loan Bank transactions. Protected transfers must occur before formal proceedings, follow the security agreement, and happen in the ordinary course of business. Protection excludes transfers made with actual intent to hinder, delay, or defraud the insurer, receiver, or current or future creditors. Bank stock or equity redemptions and repurchases are protected within four months after delinquency proceedings begin, or with prior receiver approval. The bank cannot be blocked from exercising rights or enforcing obligations under security agreements covering the insurer’s pledged collateral. Receivers cannot reject the bank’s security agreements or related pledge, collateral, guarantee, or similar credit-support arrangements.
