The current funding system is a matter of concern because—with fewer characteristics distinguishing the national bank charter from a state bank char- ter—chartering authorities increasingly compete for member banks on the basis of supervisory costs and the ways in which those costs can be con- tained. Furthermore, two recent trends in the banking industry have been fueling the cost com- petition: increased consolidation and increased complexity. Consolidation has greatly reduced the number of banks, thereby reducing the fund- ing available to the supervisory agencies, while the increased complexity of a small number of very large banking organizations has put burdens on examination staffs that may not be covered by assessments.
