On Wednesday, Shares of Citizens Financial Group Inc (NYSE:CFG), lost -3.02% to $26.03.

Citizens Financial Group, declared settlements with the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency, and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation in connection with certain operational practices related to its handling of deposits in the period 2008 to 2013.

Like many other peer banks, Citizens employed certain practices to ensure the next-day crediting of deposits in situations when deposit slips contained mathematical errors. However, these past practices and disclosures, principally preceding to early 2011, could have been better. Our implementation of a new teller system in the fourth quarter of 2013 has automated this reconciliation process, and we believe our process is now considered among the best in the industry.

Over this period, the over- and under-credits to customers were about equal. Customers who were over-credited will keep the excess funds applied to their accounts and customers who were under-credited will be reimbursed. In addition to customer remediation, the company also agreed to pay fines totaling $20.5 million to the CFPB, the OCC and the FDIC.

Citizens Financial Group, Inc. operates as the bank holding company for Citizens Bank, N.A. and Citizens Bank of Pennsylvania that provide retail and commercial banking products and services in the United States.

For the second quarter of 2015, our total FAD was $8.5 million. This amount comprises $23.4 million from equipment leasing activities, offset by $(7.9) million and $(7.0) million from infrastructure and corporate activities, respectively. Separately, we have attained or committed to acquire about $150 million of aviation assets subsequent to our IPO. We believe that this acquisition activity will generate an additional $7.5 million of quarterly FAD after assuming a 20% return, and our equipment leasing activities will therefore have the potential to generate about $23.9 million of quarterly FAD (net of ($7.0) million impact from corporate), or $95.5 million on an annualized basis.
