The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation has approved an initial plan to change the formula of the quarterly fees banks pay to the regulator. The proposal seeks to change the formula which currently charges fees based on banks' total domestic deposits to one which is based on a banks' total assets. The move is expected to favour the smaller banks as banks with $10 billion or more in assets would pay 80% of the total insurance fees.
