Does Reg B/Reg O/Reg E address an ad hoc overdraft decision process? If we choose to waive OD/NSF fees for a customer with what we believe is a profitable relationship and charge those customers who are less profitable, could this be seen as an unfair practice? Should we have an established guideline on when to waive and charge?

When we receive notice of non-payment of a deposited item from the paying bank, Reg CC section 229.33 requires that we notify the customer when it is a large item. Can we hold the funds in the account until the item is returned and do we have to provide a Reg CC hold notice? Does this also apply for any amount, not just large items?

Is there any problem if we waive wire transfer fees for directors or their related interest? Also, if we pay a higher interest rate on a certificate of a director, is there a problem? The directors are good customers and keep high balances in their deposit accounts. The fee waiver and rate bump are because they are good customers, not because they are directors (all directors are not given the reduced fees and better rate). I hate to penalize a director for being a director.
