New Jersey A3876 mandates state-chartered financial institutions to boost their reserve balances by five times the previous year's losses from fraud.

New Jersey A3876 requires state-chartered financial institutions to increase their minimum reserve balances by five times the total value of thefts, cyber thefts, fraud, and robberies reported in the previous year, plus any related damages. The bill also mandates that these institutions conduct an annual audit of their losses and report the findings to the Commissioner of Banking and Insurance. This measure aims to ensure that financial institutions have sufficient reserves to compensate customers for their losses while they investigate and recover the stolen funds.
