Requirements Without An FDIC Request (Probation)

Answered by: 

Question: 
We have an person applying for a job and on his/her background their was a non-financial, non-felony crime that happened over 25 years ago. The person received 3 years of probation. How do we interpret that for #1 requirement? Requirements without an FDIC request are all of the following: 1. Imprisonment < 1 year (Not sure how to interpret this does it count as 3 years imprisonment even though probation (see #3 which would lend credence to this interpretation)? 2. Fine < $1000 3. No jail time served 4. > 5 years ago 5. Not involving a financial institution or CU
Answer: 

The FDIC Statement of Policy https://www.fdic.gov/regulations/laws/rules/5000-1300.html [Moderator, please convert to a link] goes into considerable detail and probably could have been cited as answering your question if you had provided any information about the specific crime this individual committed.

Some personal observations:
1) I would have to be incredibly excited about a potential employee to go through this process vs. hiring someone who simply does not have a criminal record.
2) If I had any doubt about whether an application was necessary I would apply.
3) Before going through any of this, I would contact the issuer of my fidelity bond to see if they had an issue. (Any FDIC approval will be so conditioned anyway.)
