About this file

Exhibit A is a detailed document from the City of Pittsburgh's Department of Finance outlining requirements for banking depository services for the calendar year 2023. The document solicits proposals from financial institutions to serve as a city depository, with services to begin January 1, 2023, and continue through December 31, 2023, with the potential for continued service by mutual consent. The proposal requires depositories to provide comprehensive banking services including demand deposits, investment instruments, wire transfers, lockbox services, account management, and treasury management systems.

The document establishes specific eligibility criteria for potential depositories, including maintaining a satisfactory or better Community Reinvestment Rating, having a minimum capital and surplus of $1,000,000, and limiting deposits to 40% of the institution's capital and surplus. Financial institutions must provide quarterly independent bank rating service reports, attach a certification of Federal Insurance Agency membership, and demonstrate a commitment to fair lending practices. The city prioritizes institutions with an Outstanding CRA rating and requires depositories to provide Home Mortgage Disclosure Statements and Community Reinvestment Act statements. Banking fees are to be set on January 1, 2023, and remain fixed through December 31, 2023, with any changes requiring mutual written agreement.
