Navigating Background Checks and FDIC Regulations
Zions Bancorporation acknowledges that all candidates, including those with prior criminal histories, will be evaluated for employment. However, a crucial step in the hiring process involves a background check, specifically “adjudicated consistently with the FDIC Section 19 regulation,” for any candidate receiving a conditional job offer.
According to a company release, this rigorous process is necessitated by the institution’s status as a financial entity. “Because the Company is a financial institution, the FDIC guidelines apply to all positions within the company,” the statement reads, “and as such any and all job duties have a direct relationship to a candidate’s criminal history.” This means any past legal issues will be carefully assessed against the standards set forth by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation.

Zions Bancorporation, National Association, explicitly prohibits illegal discrimination in all aspects of employment. The company reaffirms its policy of providing EEO, extending equal opportunities for employment and advancement to all individuals regardless of:
