Fed Updates Reg D FAQs

On 5/13/2020, the Federal Reserve updated their Frequently Asked Questions regarding Regulation D and the recent changes to the rule. Among other things, the updates to the FAQs include the following clarifications:

  • Question 3 answers the question of whether or not the recent amendments to Regulation D are temporary or permanent. As explained in the answer, the Federal Reserve does not expect the changes to be “short term” and “does not have plans to re-impose transfer limits,” but could if future conditions warrant it.

  • Question 13 explains what we have been saying the last few weeks: that the recent Reg D changes do not cause savings deposits to be subject to Reg CC hold requirements.
