Fed and FDIC Update Community Reinvestment Act Bank Size Thresholds for 2026

On December 30, 2025, the Federal Reserve Board and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation announced new asset‑size thresholds for banks under the Community Reinvestment Act (CRA). The updated thresholds, based on a 2.51 % increase in the Consumer Price Index for Urban Wage Earners and Clerical Workers (CPI‑W), set the limit for a small bank at less than $1.649 billion in assets as of December 31 of either of the two preceding years. An intermediate small bank must have assets of at least $412 million and less than $1.649 billion on those same dates. The rules take effect from the later of January 1, 2026 or the date of Federal Register publication and apply through December 31, 2026. A list of current and past thresholds is available on the agencies’ websites.
