WASHINGTON (MarketWatch) - The Federal Reserve said it expects to issue a decision soon on Capital One's $9.2 billion bid to buy ING Groep NV's U.S. online banking unit, but it won't be making a further announcement Monday. "The board considered the application at its meeting this afternoon and expects to issue a decision soon. No further announcement is expected today," the central bank said in a statement. The ING-Capital One deal is the first major bank merger to be considered under new requirements that regulators consider costs to the financial system if the combined firm were to fail. The combined company would create the fifth-largest bank in the United States, when measured by U.S. deposits, and the 11th largest institution by asset size with over $300 billion in assets. ING Direct is the U.S. online banking unit of Dutch ING Groep NV , which is being required by the European Commission to divest the division as a condition of the rescue it received from Holland. Capital One expects the deal to close in the first quarter of 2012.
