Banking
Banking — National banks and federal saving associations are among the most highly regulated institutions in this country, with many federal and state laws and regulations that govern their activities. In addition, members of the FDIC face routine audits to test their standards for safety and soundness. See, Section 39 of the FDI Act. A common misconception is that commercial and business-purpose loans are exempt entirely from the array of federal and state laws and regulations. Bank loan document reviews offer the opportunity for banks to evaluate the hazards of litigation and ensure the collateral attached to loan proceeds to protect their asset portfolio.
