National Credit Union Administration December 8, 2005 – Federal Register Recent Federal Regulation Documents

As required by the Truth in Savings Act, the NCUA is amending its rule and official staff interpretation to address the uniformity and adequacy of information provided to members when they overdraw their share accounts. The amendments address services referred to as ``bounced-check protection'' or ``courtesy overdraft protection'' that pay members' checks and allow other overdrafts when there are insufficient funds in the account. The interim final rule creates a new section in the regulation and requires credit unions that promote the payment of overdrafts in advertisements to disclose fees and other information in advertisements of overdraft services.
