and needs considerations include a 

review of the records of performance of 

the insured depository institutions

requires the appropriate federal 

financial supervisory agency to take into 

account a relevant depository 

institution’s record of meeting the credit 

needs of its entire community, 

including low- and moderate-income 

neighborhoods, consistent with the safe 

and sound operation of the institution. 

12 U.S.C. 2903. The agencies also 

consider other factors in acting on the 

applications, including the effects of the 

proposal on the stability of the U.S. 

banking or financial system, the 

financial and managerial resources and 

future prospects of the companies and 

banks involved in the proposal, and 

competition in the relevant markets. 

The agencies also will be collecting 

information relating to these factors.
