Fulton Financial Corporation reported net income of $35.2 million, or $0.20 per diluted share, for the second quarter of 2018, and net income of $84.7 million, or $0.48 per diluted share, for the six months ended June 30, 2018. "Overall, we were pleased with the second quarter results, despite the impact of the loss from a single, large commercial lending relationship,” said E. Philip Wenger, Chairman and CEO. “Pre-provision net revenue reached an all-time high this quarter on strong growth in our net interest income, solid fee income growth and a reduction in operating expenses. Absent the impact of the one large commercial lending relationship, we also saw a nice improvement in credit.”

Pepper Hamilton Alert: Regulatory Uncertainty at Federal Level Continues for 'Bank Model' Lending Arrangements
When differences emerge between the activities of state banks and national banks in the U.S. dual banking system, the root cause typically is a difference between state and federal law.1 But this is not the case when it comes to differences between state banks’ and national banks’ willingness to engage in “bank model lending” relationships with nonbank lenders. This disparity is instead attributable to a difference in supervisory policy between two federal agencies — the OCC and the FDIC. This difference was recently brought to the forefront in the June 13 testimony of OCC Comptroller Joseph Otting before the House Financial Services Subcommittee and in the OCC’s May 23 publication of “Bulletin 2018-14 (Core Lending Principles for Short-Term, Small-Dollar Installment Lending.” Read the full alert by Pepper Hamilton's Richard Eckman and Mark Dabertin at the link below.

Ballard Spahr: DOJ Announces New Task Force on Market Integrity and Consumer Fraud
The U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) earlier this week announced that it was disbanding the Financial Fraud Enforcement Task Force, established under the Obama Administration. In its place, pursuant to an Executive Order, the DOJ plans to establish the Task Force on Market Integrity and Consumer Fraud (the Task Force). The purpose—according to a DOJ press release—is to deter fraud on consumers, especially veterans and the elderly, and the government, specifically as it relates to health care. Additionally, the Task Force will focus on digital currency fraud, money laundering, securities and commodities fraud, and "fraud affecting the general public," the Executive Order states. It will provide guidance both for the investigation and prosecution of specific fraud cases and provide recommendations "on fraud enforcement initiatives."
