Senate Banking Committee Advances Nominee for FDIC Director

The Senate Banking Committee advanced the nomination of Travis Hill to become the next Director of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation to the full Senate for consideration. 

Mr. Hill is currently the Acting Chairman of the FDIC Board of Directors. He served as Deputy to the Chairman for Policy from 2018 to 2022. Prior to joining the FDIC, Mr. Hill served as Senior Counsel at the United States Senate Committee on Banking, Housing, and Urban Affairs. 

Senate Banking Committee Chair Tim Scott stated, "Mr. Hill’s prior experience, including at the FDIC as well as a staff member on this Committee, makes him more than qualified for this important role managing the DIF, leading supervisory reforms, and eliminating the toxic workplace culture that existed under the prior FDIC leadership."
