The following policies, procedures and examination guidelines are designed to replace the policies and procedures contained in the orange "Illinois Banking Policies and Agency Rules" manual formerly published by the Illinois Commissioner of Banks and Trust Companies.

These policies, procedures and examination guidelines are not administrative rules but are designed to state the Agency's position or policy on a certain matter or outline an examination procedure utilized by the Agency.

This is not a comprehensive listing of all policies, procedures and examination guidelines of the Bureau of Banks and Trust Companies but rather are those which are most frequently asked by bankers and attorneys representing banks and trust companies.

The statements contained in this section are subject to revision and may in the future be codified as part of the administrative rule making activities of the Agency.
