Elizabeth Warren earlier this month sent a letter to Federal Reserve and the FDIC, questioning regulators' approval of the largest bank deal since the financial crisis.

"Countrywide was a $200 billion institution when it failed. Washington Mutual was $307 billion. Their failure presented material risks to the financial system. Why does the Fed believe that the failure of a $450 billion institution would not present risks to the financial system?" asked Warren and the letter's co-author, Rep. Jesús García, D-Ill. The two asked the same question of the FDIC.

The letter, dated Dec. 12, comes weeks after Warren and Garcia introduced their Bank Merger Review Modernization Act to tighten oversight of America's bank deal approval process. The two have argued that, if the act had been passed prior to the Truist deal, it would have been blocked. Though unlikely go past a Republican-controlled Senate, the proposal puts a spotlight on the review process for banks, which Warren and Garcia decry as "fundamentally broken."

Today, all bank deals must be approved by the Fed, the FDIC and the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency. Warren and Garcia believe the agencies often review the deals with banks in secret, prior to their being announced. They also say the agencies focus too much on their impact on the industry, rather than also looking at the consumer.
