Extending Credit to Bank Insiders -
Regulation O
 

Banks are in business to take deposits and loan money to their customers. Banks have owners, usually in the form of shareholders and are managed by a Board of Directors. Day-to-day jobs within the bank are handled by the bank's executive officers. All of these people involved with the bank's operation are called bank insiders. It is important that when a bank lends money to one of its insiders that it is as careful as when it lends money to anyone in the community. Regulation O governs this activity.
