The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) proposed a new rule that would require banks to keep better deposit records on ownership of funds controlled by their financial technology (fintech) partners.

The proposed notice of new rulemaking, published Tuesday, “would strengthen recordkeeping for bank deposits received from third party, non-bank companies accepting those deposits on behalf of consumers and businesses,” the FDIC said in a press release.
