As an additional resource for determining Banking Market Definitions, the St. Louis Federal Reserve Bank created CASSIDI, a resource that provides banking market definitions as well as a tool to calculate how a potential merger transaction would change a banking market’s concentration. Users are able to search for and view banking markets, find banking market concentrations, and perform “what if” analyses on banking market structures.

These banking market definitions are currently used by the Federal Reserve Bank of Cleveland in analyzing the competitive effects of banking proposals within the Fourth District. The market definitions are typically based on several factors that include, but are not limited to, trade areas, commuting patterns, political boundaries, and the location and size of banks and other financial institutions.
These market definitions are subject to modification as the aforementioned factors change or as applications are processed. Evaluation of a market definition typically is linked to analysis of specific applications. The definitions reflect those currently in use.

Banking Supervision, Credit Risk, and Statistics
Cleveland Fed employees in Banking Supervision, Credit Risk, and Statistics (SCS) assist the Bank in supervising and promoting the safety and soundness of banks and other financial institutions in our region.
Banking Supervision
As part of the nation's central bank, the Cleveland Fed supervises financial institutions in the Cleveland Fed's region. Our employees in Banking Supervision promote a safe and sound banking system, foster financial market stability, and support compliance with laws and regulations, including those relating to consumer protection.
Credit Risk
Credit Risk employees provide liquidity to the banking system, work to avoid losses that undermine the integrity of payment systems or the credibility of the Federal Reserve System, and facilitate the implementation of monetary policy.
Statistics and Analysis
Teams in Statistics and Analysis collect financial, banking structure, survey, and contextual information and provide data management services to ensure information is fit for use. The data is used by other areas in the Cleveland Fed to support monetary policymaking, supervision, and fiscal agency responsibilities.
