I just came across this topic. Streamlining our process for Reg D monitoring will change lives at my financial institution. smile Why is re-disclosure not required when the account is changed? Our TISA disclosure is very general in regards to excessive transactions, so are you disclosing more at account opening? Doesn't the customer need to know they now have a checking account?

Because giving them unlimited transaction ability does not adversely affect the consumer.

1030.5 Subsequent disclosures.

(a) Change in terms. (1) Advance notice required. A depository institution shall give advance notice to affected consumers of any change in a term required to be disclosed under Sec. 1030.4(b) of this part if the change may reduce the annual percentage yield or adversely affect the consumer. The notice shall include the effective date of the change. The notice shall be mailed or delivered at least 30 calendar days before the effective date of the change.

And:

(b)(5) Transaction limitations.

1. General rule. Examples of limitations on the number or dollar amount of deposits or withdrawals that institutions must disclose are:

iii. Institutions need not disclose reservations of right to require notices for withdrawals from accounts required by federal or state law.

Contrast that with what you have to do if you open a new transaction account and move the MMDA or savings funds into it:

Reg. DD, §1030.4, comment (a)(1)-1.iii (on delivery of account disclosures upon account opening):

Quote:
1. New accounts. New account disclosures must be provided when:
....
iii. An institution transfers funds from an account to open a new account not at the consumer's request, unless the institution previously gave account disclosures and any change-in-term notices for the new account.
....

We finally have worked with our core and found a way to make this happen.

We will create a new savings product that is identical to our current account. The only different is the product will not be subject to Reg D and will be reported as a transaction account.

This is going to save time in our monitoring.

Then it is not a savings product.

I really think you risk misleading customers if you continue labeling this hybrid "thing" a savings product. You also risk confusion in-house, I think. What prompts such a move? Are there really so many customers who are straying from the savings transaction limits that you need to take such action? Why not transfer them to the right account, or close them out, or take away their transfer capabilities?

We will just build it on that side but it will be reported as a transaction account.

We can build the same account on the DDA side of our core. It will be the same exact terms they have in the account now. If we build on the DDA side, do we have to send a change in terms on how we are classifying the account?

Far from Calif
From rlcarey earlier in the discussion:
Quote:
I have one bank that just internally classifies the accounts as an interest bearing DDA after the second occurrence and leave the rest of the terms and conditions on the account the same. No letters - no nothing.


My understanding is that ahkcompliance's bank is now doing just as rlcarey suggested above - thereby creating efficiencies in no longer having so much time spent on letters/monitoring.

Yes! We need to build a new product type that is exact identical to the current but remove the Reg D spec. The new internal code will identify the account as transaction and our CFO will know to account for it accordingly.

Do you mind if I PM you about how you made the switch, AHKCompliance? Very interested in making the change and going this route as well.

Here, silence sort of gives consent, particularly on a string that's several months old. If you click on ahk's avatar and "send a PM" functions, assume you have permission.
