Regulation D

title What is Regulation D?

Regulation D, often referred to Reg D, is a federal regulation that limits the number and type of withdrawals from a non-transaction account. All depository institutions are subject to Regulation D.

- The Basic Rule -
A depositor may make no more than six transfers and/or withdrawals out of a non-transaction account per calendar month.

What accounts are accounted for under Regulation D at FCFFCU?
Non-transaction accounts at First Choice Financial FCU include savings and money markets.
What transactions are included and excluded from the Regulation?

As cited in §204.2(d)(2) Regulation D imposes a six transfer/withdrawal limit on the following types of transactions:
·Pre-authorized or automatic withdrawals;
telephone transfers; or
·Transfers initiated through online or
mobile banking to another account at the
same credit union or to a third party during a calendar month or statement cycle.
·Overdraft transfers.

Transactions not included in the six transfer/withdrawal limit are as follows:
·Credits to an account.
·Transfers from a credit union account to
the same credit union for purposes of
repaying loans and associated expenses; and
·Transfers or withdrawals the member
makes in person through an ATM, by mail,
by messenger, or by telephone (which results in the mailing of a share draft/check to the member).

What are some tips to help manage your account(s) to avoid Regulation D limits?
·Plan your budget and transactions in order to make one large transfer instead
of several small transfers.
·Keep sufficient balances in your
checking account to avoid overdrafts.
Every overdraft made from your savings account into your checking account counts as one Regulation D transaction. You are only allowed six overdrafts to cover checks and three to cover POS and Visa® Check Card transactions.
·Set up ACH automatic debits with merchants or service providers to come
out of your checking account instead of your savings account.

As a reminder...

·If you have more than one savings account, the six-limitation rule applies to
each savings/money market suffix per account.
·Checking accounts are not subject to Regulation D. Set up ACH automatic deposits with your employer, Social Security Administration, etc. to post your checking account instead of your saving account.

At First Choice Financial FCU, once a member reaches their six transactions, any limited transac- tion by regulation thereafter will be rejected and subject to NSF fees and/or possibly other institution fees like courtesy pay.
