On April 23, the Fed issued an interim final rule (IFR) which will remove the limit on monthly transfers from “savings deposits” in Regulation D. The IFR revises Regulation D’s definition of a savings deposit so that it no longer includes the monthly convenient transfer limit of six. The IFR permits, but does not require, institutions to suspend enforcement of the six transfer limit. The IFR contains frequently asked questions and answers on the impact it will have on accounts, reporting and funds access. The Federal Register announcement is linked here. Federal Financial Institutions Examination Council reports that may be affected by this IFR will be addressed later. The IFR took effect on April 23, and the Fed will accept comments until June 22.
