Fed Proposes Lower Capital Buffers to Boost Bank Lending
March 20, 2026, 2:04 PM EDT. The Federal Reserve is proposing a significant easing of post-crisis capital requirements for U.S. banks, aiming to stimulate lending while preserving financial stability. Large banks such as JPMorgan and Bank of America could see capital requirements cut by about 4.8%, with smaller banks facing reductions up to 7.8%. Despite these cuts, the sector's overall capital levels will remain twice as high as pre-2008 crisis levels. The proposal also targets mortgage lending, encouraging banks to re-enter mortgage origination and servicing markets, potentially altering competition with non-bank lenders. Fed Vice Chair Michelle Bowman highlighted the need to balance strong capital buffers with economic growth. This regulatory shift seeks to align capital more closely with actual risks and unlock lending capacity without sacrificing safety.
