E-Statement Retention - Fed Rules

Question: 
Has the Fed set out final rules on retention of E-statements yet? Until we get a final rule, what is the standard for keeping e-disclosures & making them available to customers?
Answer: 

No, the final rules have not been published and because there is no effective rule on the subject (the mandatory compliance date for section 205.17 was indefinitely postponed), there isn't any regulatory standard. To the extent that anyone was following the Section 205.17 rule voluntarily, the time period was 90 days. That said, statements are a required disclosure under Reg E. Your bank will need to maintain records to document compliance with the statement requirements for at least two years under the general record-retention rules in Section 205.13(b). Those records don't necessarily have to be customer-accessible.
