Pledging For Public Funds
During the 2002 legislative session, a Pledging for Public Funds bill was passed changing various provisions of Chapter 12C of the Code of Iowa. In summary, this law required banks, savings and loans, and out of state banks with branches in Iowa to pledge qualifying collateral if they accept public fund deposits in excess of their capital.
The appropriate pledging and custodial forms can be obtained from the State Treasurer's web site at www.treasurer.state.ia.us
The law also requires the Superintendent's office to provide information to the State Treasurer to determine which institutions are accepting Iowa public deposits in excess of capital and therefore, required to pledge qualifying collateral.
By accepting Iowa public deposits, all institutions, regardless of charter, agree to provide the necessary information to the Superintendent.
The information for Iowa state-chartered banks is retrieved from the quarterly call reports submitted directly to this office; however, all national banks, savings and loans and out of state banks with offices in Iowa must provide the information to this office.
Required information is to be submitted using the "Electronic Submission" link under the Report Submission header. If you need assistance with your username or password, please contact Kathy Johnson at the Division of Banking (515-281-4014).
