Section 30. Required collateral for banks

The required collateral of a national or state chartered bank to secure public deposits shall be determined according to the following applicable criteria and shall consist of securities qualifying as eligible collateral pursuant to these regulations which have a value for collateralization purposes not less than:

1. Fifty percent. Fifty percent of the actual public deposits held at the close of business on the last banking day of the immediately preceding month, or 50% of the average balance of public deposits for the immediately preceding month, whichever is greater;

2. Seventy-five percent. In the event a bank's average daily public deposits for the immediately preceding month exceed one-fifth of its average daily total deposits, the required collateral will be 75% of the actual public deposits held at the close of business on the last banking day of the immediately preceding month, or 75% of the average balance of public deposits for the immediately preceding month, whichever is greater;

3. One hundred percent. In the event a bank's average daily public deposits for the immediately preceding month exceed one-fifth of its average daily total deposits and the bank has not been actively engaged in the commercial banking business for at least three years, or in the event that a bank's average daily public deposits for the immediately preceding month exceed one-third of its average daily total deposits, or in the event that a bank has not been actively engaged in the commercial banking business for at least one year, the required collateral will be 100% of the actual public deposits held at the close of business on the last banking day of the immediately preceding month, or 100% of the average balance of public deposits for the immediately preceding month, whichever is greater.

In the event a bank has violated the pledging statutes and regulations or for other reasons deemed sufficient, such as the financial condition of the bank or the reasons referred to in 1VAC75-20-130, the Treasury Board may increase the bank's ratio of required collateral to 100% of its actual public deposits.
