Hoenig’s FDIC Term Ends Today

Just in case you missed it, FDIC Vice Chairman Thomas Hoenig will step down from the FDIC board today because his six-year term has concluded.

“It has been an honor and a privilege to serve the public and be a part of the FDIC and its mission during these past six years,” Hoenig said.

“Tom has been a friend of mine for more than 35 years,” said OBA President and CEO Roger Beverage. “His voice in Washington was one of the steadiest and most unwavering voices over the past six years. His message has always been clear in his drive to help banks modernize and enhance their capital position. His steady voice of reasonableness will be missed.”

Prior to being appointed to the FDIC board, Hoenig was president of the Federal Reserve Bank of Kansas City.
