DC PUBLIC BANKING CENTER
 
Creating Public Money for the Public Good
Problems a DC Public Bank 
Will Address
Lack of jobs which are due to artificial scarcity 
of affordable credit.
Government deposits are not safe in today’s 
big banks.
Financing is lacking to meet Sustainable DC 
goals.
DC Public Bank Solutions

Where does DC government 
currently deposit its money?  
Do you think your DC tax 
dollars are safe in the big 
banks 
?
Current U.S. law puts
DC government deposits at risk
2010 Dodd-Frank law: taxpayers will no longer bail out failing banks.
Now we have bail-ins.
Government deposits above $250,000 are not FDIC insured.
No DC government deposit accounts are less than $250,000 (as of Jan.
2012).
Many DC government deposits are held in uninsured accounts.
Confiscation of deposits to save a
bank is called a “bail in”!
FDIC & Bank of England
Approve Bail-in Policy
“Resolving Globally Active, Systematically Important, Financial Institutions”
 A joint memorandum by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation and
the Bank of England,10 December 2012, which says…
 Under Dodd-Frank Act authority, the FDIC would assign losses to
shareholders & unsecured creditors if a such bank fails.
Source: http://www.fdic.gov/about/srac/2012/gsifi.pdf
Derivatives Held by Bank Receive
Priority When Bank Fails
 Government accounts may be subject to bail-in
requirements.
 Derivatives have super priority claim on bank
collateral.
 There may not be any funds left for local
government deposit claims.
Source: Ellen Brown, “Winner Takes All: The Super Priority Status of Derivatives”
Are all banks in the world private
?
No! Globally, 40% of all banks
are publicly owned.
Germany has had public banks since the 19th
century.
The Bank of Canada operated as a public bank
from 1935 to 1971.
Brazil, Russia, India and China all have very
large, mature public banking sectors.
Japan & New Zealand have public banks through
their post offices.
The United States once had public postal banks!
Public Banks Resist Recession
That’s why, around the world, public
banks have escaped the credit
crisis and helped their economies to
recover.
 North Dakota owns its own public bank
 The Shawnee Tribe in Oklahoma also has its
own public bank.
 At least 15 states, one city, and one county
are considering creating public banks.
Public Banking in the U.S. Today
North Dakota has had its own bank
since 1919
• The farmers were
losing their farms to
the Wall Street
bankers.
• They organized,
won an election,
and passed
legislation to create
a public bank.

The Bank of North Dakota (BND)
How It Works
 All state revenues are deposited in
BND by law.
 BND is wholly owned by the state
of ND.
 BND makes participation loans
with local banks.
BND’s home today
What does BND do for ND today?
 Partners with local banks to increase local lending
 Makes low interest loans for designated local projects
 Redirects credit away from speculation in derivatives toward local lending
 Fulfills mandate to deliver quality, sound financial services that promote
agriculture, commerce and industry in North Dakota.
The only state to escape the credit crisis
State budget surplus every year since
financial meltdown in 2008
Lowest unemployment rate in US
Lowest foreclosure rate in US
Lowest loan default rate in US
How's North Dakota's Economy Now?
