1497 charsUS Federal Reserve Board Issues Enforcement Order with Iuka Bancshares and Iuka State Bank for Operational and Compliance Deficiencies
On July 30, 2026, the US Federal Reserve Board (FRB), in tandem with the Illinois Department of Financial and Professional Regulation (DFPR), issued an enforcement order against Iuka Bancshares and Iuka State Bank to address a number of operational and compliance deficiencies.
According to the order, a May 2026 examination of the bank identified deficiencies related to internal controls, credit risk management, lending and credit administration, capital and liquidity and funds management. The examination also identified deficiencies in the bank's risk management and compliance with the Bank Secrecy Act (BSA) and anti-money laundering (AML) requirements.
The order requires the bank's board of directors to submit written plans and programs to FRB and DFPR within designated timeframes to correct the identified deficiencies. These measures include, but are not limited to:
Strengthening board oversight of the bank's major operations and activities, including establishing appropriate risk tolerance guidelines and limits.
Strengthening credit risk management practices to identify, limit and manage concentrations of credit.
Improving lending and credit risk management policies and procedures, including underwriting standards and collateral administration.
Establishing effective, ongoing programs for loan grading and independent loan review.
Designing an asset improvement plan to improve the bank's position on problem loans, other real estate owned and other assets past due.
