US Banking Law
Overview
The ability of an economy to create credit is essential to its efficient operation. The banking system is at the heart of this
capacity and represents a key systemic source of risk within the economy, a fact demonstrated by the banking failures that led
to the Great Depression. As such, banking is typically a very heavily regulated industry.
Primary Regulators
In the United States, banking law is administered through a number of Congressionally approved agencies.
