The Federal Reserve allowed Goldman Sachs and Morgan Stanley a free pass as part of it latest stress test, according to a report.

After the two large Wall Street banks failed the second part of the test to determine if an institution can pay out shareholders or needs to keep reserves for another crisis, the Fed fixed the grade, The Wall Street Journal reported. And by cutting a deal with the regulator, the banks actually were able to disburse about $5 billion more to investors than if they had passed the test.

Fed officials, in a June 21 communication, gave the banks an unprecedented option: The banks could agree to freeze their payouts at recent levels, get a “conditional, non-objection” grade and avoid failing, according to the Journal.

The deal marked a significant change in the banking regulatory environment as a result of President Trump’s policies.

“New refs, new rules,” consulting firm PricewaterhouseCoopers noted.

The deal will also boost compensation for Goldman Chief Executive Lloyd Blankfein and Morgan Stanley CEO James Gorman.
