Congressman Questions FDIC on Re-Presented Transactions
House Financial Services Committee member Rep. French Hill (R-Ark.) sent a letter to Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) Acting Chairman Martin Gruenberg expressing concern with the FDIC's supervisory practices with respect to banks that impose multiple nonsufficient funds (NSF) fees for re-presented transactions. "The FDIC is establishing new disclosure standards for NSF fees without warning and without rulemaking," Hill stated. He asked the agency to provide clarity on the issue and to confirm if rulemaking will be initiated to establish new disclosure standards for NSF fees.
For more information on this issue, see the FDIC's Financial Institution Letter, the NBA Compliance Update or the American Bankers Association (ABA) staff analysis.
