Executive Officer/Director Overdraft Limits

Answered by: 

Question: 
Is the limit for Executive Officer/Director's overdraft protection $5000 total for all accounts owned? Would one Executive Officer/Director having a $5000 plan for each multiple accounts be a violation?
Answer: 

12 CFR 215.3(b)(6)states that the following would not be considered an extension of credit under Reg O: "Indebtedness of $5,000 or less arising by reason of an interest-bearing overdraft credit plan of the type specified in Sec. 215.4(e) of this part." That said, having multiple $5,000 plans would not be an automatic violation of Reg O. However, the amounts of all plans would have to be aggregated and any amounts over the $5,000 exclusion would have to considered as an extension of credit to the EO or Director and meet all other Reg O restrictions.
