Reg O - NSF Fee Refund
Randy Carey, BOL Guru Guru Bio
Question: I see a lot of guru Q and A's regarding directors and overdrafts and overdraft fees. My bank's policy is to exempt all directors from our overdraft protection program, so that we don't have to worry about Reg O issues on that score, but my question has to do with a plain old ordinary non-sufficient funds fee. Is it a Reg O violation to refund an NSF fee?
