FDIC Conditions of Employment  

1. Integrity and Ethics

 

Core to the FDIC's mission is its ability to promote and maintain the public's trust and confidence in our nation's financial system. Given its public trust role, the FDIC expects all of its employees to uphold the highest standards of integrity and ethical conduct. As a condition of employment with the FDIC, job applicants will be required to complete an Applicant Certification Statement prior to receiving an offer of employment. This certification form requires applicants to provide information that will assist the FDIC in determining whether a candidate's prior employment and financial history would create an ethical conflict with the FDIC's mission. The FDIC is prohibited from employing any person who does not meet its minimum competence, experience, integrity, and fitness requirements. Failure to complete the Applicant Certification Statement in a timely and truthful manner will result in a determination of ineligibility for employment with the FDIC.
 

2. Suitability   Candidates who are tentatively identified for appointment must meet suitability requirements for Federal employment prior to appointment. FDIC will request applicant to provide additional information, including a credit statement release, prior to making a formal offer of employment, as required by 12 CFR Part 336.
