believes that the benefit of increased transparency associated with providing an individual cardholder with access to his or her specific credit card agreement is substantial regardless of the whether the card issuer is required to submit the agreement
to the Board for posting on the Board’s Web site. The Board believes that this benefit of increased transparency for consumers outweighs the administrative burden on issuers of
providing such access, and therefore § 226.58(e) in the final rule does not include the exceptions from the requirement to submit agreements to the Board under § 226.58(c).


Okay, so I was relieved to read in 226.58 the de minimum exception for posting agreements to the Board since we have fewer than 10,000 open accounts. However, I want to make sure that I am correct in my understanding that we get the same exception for posting to our website? It seems like the deminimus applies to both (pg. 452), but then it's not so clear in other parts of the final rule.


Sorry - I asked that too soon. 226.58(e) makes it clear that even if we have less than 10,000 open accounts we are going to have to either post the agreement or have a readily available phone number for them to call and request it.

It says you must either post the accountholders individual agreement on your web site or promptly provide a copy of the cardholder's agreement.

If you choose to provide upon request you have to do 2 things - give the cardholder the ability to request via the web site and by calling a readily available telephone number, which is displayed on the web.

Pricing information for agreements under 226.58(e)..

(ii) Pricing information. (A) Pricing information must be set forth in a single addendum to the agreement that contains only the pricing information.

Does this mean an attachment or can it be on the back page of the agreement? Also, does the pricing information have to be in tabular format like the application and account opening disclosures?

Trout22,
Did you ever recieve a response on the 5:00 cut off time. We also close before 5:00. It is my understanding that this also applies to All open end credit plans, which to me includes unsecured lines of credit, HELOC's, and Overdraft lines. Help!

We are updating our agreements and statements to indicate that payments made in person should be made only at one of our branch locations. That location will accept payments until 5:00 for same day processing. All other locations will be considered non-conforming and our normal cutoff time will apply.

Does anyone know if 226.9(e) applies only to credit cards?

We have decided to post our credit card agreements & pricing info for all of our credit card products, even though some of them are no longer being offered but some customers still have open. We decided to do this in hopes of cutting down on phone call requests. I have a question as to the effective date relating to the pricing information required to be posted on our web site. 226.58 states that we must post the same pricing information on our web site that we provide to the Feds…the pricing information required to be on the Fed site must be as of 12/31/2009. Do you interpret the rule to mean that the pricing information we post on our site must also be as of that effective date? This is outdated information compared to what we can post immediately.

I think the type of information and format is to be consistent but the information can be updated. Our current card agreement and pricing information is different than what we are submitting to the board as of 12/31. We had to change some terms to be compliant with 2/22. I copied the below:

Section 226.58(d)(4) incorporates provisions from proposed Appendix N, paragraph 2, stating that an issuer must update the agreements posted on its Web site at least as frequently as the quarterly schedule required for submission of agreements to the
Board. If the issuer chooses to update the agreements on its Web site more frequently,the agreements posted on the issuer’s Web site may contain the provisions of the agreement and the pricing information in effect as of a date other than the last business
day of the preceding calendar quarter.

CSB1, did you ever get an answer to this? I'm wondering if there will be changes to the format requirements for non-credit card accouts (either in February or in July). I know there are changes for credit cards, but I'm not sure about HELOCs, OD lines, Personal unsecured lines, etc.

Statement formatting requirements are required for cr cards and non-HELOC open-end products such as unsecured lines of credit. (effective in July)

I'm confused.

Model Forms G-18(F) and G-18(G) both say "bank credit card account statement." Where does it say that these model forms apply to non-credit-card open-end non-heloc accounts?

Also, what is the difference in these two model forms?
