Is it okay to say Equal Housing Lender and not include the logo in a printed ad?

No. The rules require the actual doghouse. They also have size requirements based on space.

We have a facebook page. We are not able to get the equal housing lender logo actually on the page. If we do not advertise any loan product, can we just say Member FDIC?

Yes, if you aren't advertising mortgage-type loans, you do not need it.

RR - Where are the "size" requirements found that apply to banks?

Check your regulator requirements - it is my understanding that FRB, FDIC, and OTS require the logo and legend but OCC requires neither. I also think HUD dropped the rule for logo size requirements a few years ago.

So are there size requirements? I've looked in the regs, and can't find them. Were they removed?

There are no size requirements any longer. The OCC used to have them, but dropped the requirement to even have the logo in 1997 (or around there).
The only requirement is that the logo is clear and conspicuous.
