[edit intro]

U.S. financial laws affecting banks and other financial institutions originate in the House Financial Services Committee and the Senate Committee on Banking, Housing, and Urban Affairs. They are primarily enforced by the U.S. Department of the Treasury, as well as quasi-governmental agencies such as the Federal Reserve System ("Fed") and Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation. The Fed and other agencies promulgate regulations that have the effective force of law.

At the present time, this article is primarily a top-level organizing one, with details in the Related Articles subpage.
