Compliance Question of the Week

Question: What are the typical overdraft protection practices that may be UDAAP concerns?

ANSWER: 

The following were typical overdraft protection practices analyzed by examiners and other FDIC staff for compliance with the FTC Act during this period:

  • Including the available balance of an overdraft line of credit (ODLOC) when disclosing a deposit account balance, particularly at automated teller machines (ATMs).
  • Failing to disclose accessibility of ODLOC via ATMs, point-of-sale (POS) transactions, online banking, or preauthorized transfers.
  • Erroneously disclosing inaccessibility of ODLOC via ATMs, POS transactions, online banking, or preauthorized transfers.
  • Promoting overdraft protection services without informing the depositor of (or overstating) the maximum dollar amount of protection or without disclosing fees associated with service.
  • Using the word "free" (when charges are imposed) and other misleading representations in overdraft protection advertisements.
  • Enrolling depositors in overdraft protection programs without their knowledge or consent and, subsequently, approving withdrawals at ATMs that overdraw a depositor's account, resulting in the imposition of fees.
