The Shared National Credit Program (SNC) was established in 1977 by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation and the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (collectively known as “regulatory agencies”) to provide an efficient and consistent review and classification of any large syndicated loan. A SNC is defined as any loan or commitment to extend credit, or group of commitments, aggregating $100 million or more at origination; and committed under a formal lending arrangement; and shared by three or more unaffiliated supervised institutions. Supervised institutions are any financial institution subject to regulation by one of the three regulatory agencies. A non-bank subsidiary of a holding company is considered a supervised institution. The regulatory agencies' review is conducted bi-annually, usually in the first and third quarters each year. Reporting entities must submit SNC data via the FRS eSNC reporting application.

SNC Technology Announcement:

The interagency Shared National Credit (SNC) Program, administered by the Federal Reserve System (FRS), Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC), and the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC), has undertaken an initiative to modernize the technology applications used to facilitate the SNC Program.

We are pleased to inform you that new technology will replace the reporting application, eSNC, for quarterly data submissions, starting September 30th, 2024. We also anticipate leveraging this technology for SNC reporting and examinations, starting with the 2025 SNC exams. Learn more about the PDFSNC Tech Announcement.

*You will continue to use eSNC and the current methods for SNC exams until the new SNC technology launches.
