State banking board approves reduction in 2022 assessments
The Oklahoma State Banking Board voted at its November meeting unanimously to reduce the assessments paid by Oklahoma state-chartered banks.
The 2022 assessment rate was discounted 40% for each bank with assets less than $1 billion and 20% for each bank with assets more than $1 billion.
During the meeting held Nov. 17, State Banking Commissioner Mick Thompson explained how the Banking Department implemented several operational changes over the past 18 months that have resulted in savings to the agency. The Banking Department has recommended a discount to bank assessments each year for the past decade.
