(Reuters) - The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation has started to directly monitor financial-technology companies that partner with banks across the U.S., Bloomberg News reported on Wednesday.

The fintech monitoring system will help FDIC examiners anticipate potential vulnerabilities before they become a problem for banks, the report added, citing people familiar with the regulator's supervisory operations.
