| Keystone can help you post a notice concerning your participation in the Transaction Account Guarantee Program. | |
On April 19, 2010, the FDIC published an interim rule extending the Transaction Account Guarantee Program through December 31, 2010. Federal law requires that each depository institution that offers noninterest-bearing transaction accounts is required to post a prominent notice in the lobby of its main office and in each domestic branch clearly indicating whether the institution is participating in the TAG program. |
|
| CC-96-229 (To be displayed by institutions that previously elected to participate in the TAG Program and are CONTINUING to participate.) The Interim Rule requires institutions that choose to remain in the TAG program to update their disclosures to reference December 31, 2010, as the termination date for this extension of the TAG program. |
|
| CC-96-230 (To be displayed by institutions that previously elected to participate in the TAG Program but are NO LONGER participating as of July 1, 2010.) Participating Institutions that opt out of the extended TAG program are required to update their disclosures to inform customers and depositors that, beginning on July 1, 2010, they will no longer participate in the TAG program and the deposits in noninterest-bearing transaction accounts will no longer be guaranteed in full by the FDIC. |

| Keystone's Updated Privacy Policy form can help you receive "safe harbor" and meet your annual disclosure obligations. | |
Federal regulators have issued a final model Privacy Form designed to help consumers more easily understand how financial institutions collect and share their information. If your institution is not required to provide an opt-out, you may use this form to obtain a "safe harbor" and satisfy your disclosure requirements for privacy notices. The final rule also provides that the previous sample clauses that were included in the rules will no longer offer "safe harbor" protection after December 31, 2010. Our CF-1001 & CF-1002 Privacy Disclosures are available in Blue & Black, Green & Black or Burgundy & Black to allow you to reinforce the brand of your institution. Additionally, you are permitted to include your logo if you choose. Click to learn how to order your customized Privacy Policy forms today. |

| Keystone can help you meet the requirements of updating your Funds Availability Policy. |
|
| On February 27, 2010, the Reserve Banks transferred the check-processing operations of the head office of the Federal Reserve Bank of Atlanta to the head office of the Federal Reserve Bank of Cleveland. There is now only a single check-processing region for purposes of Regulation CC and there are no longer any checks that are nonlocal. The elimination of nonlocal checks may reduce the length of time your institution is permitted to delay the availability of funds deposited by check from: • 5 days to 2 days for checks that were previously considered "nonlocal" and held to statutory limits on a case by case basis. • 11 days to 7 days for checks that were previously considered "nonlocal" and delayed according to the exceptions in Section 229.13 of Regulation CC. Federal regulations require institutions to notify their customers within 30 days of a change that positively affects them. This notification can be accomplished with a statement insert and does not require a full redisclosure of your Funds Availability Policy. Choose from the following notices according to your disclosure needs: |
|
| IL-041-238: Intended for institutions using policy models: C-3 (Next-day availability case-by-case holds & Sec. 229.13 exceptions.) C-4 (Holds to statutory limits on all deposit. Includes chart.) C-5 (Holds to statutory limits on all deposits.) |
|
| IL-041-239: Intended for institutions using policy models: C-2 (Next-day availability & Sec. 229.13 exceptions.) |
|
| In addition to your requirement to notify your accountholders, you may need to update your lobby notices as well. Regulations require that banks post in a conspicuous place in each location where it's employees receive deposits to consumer accounts a notice that sets forth the time periods applicable to the availability of funds deposited in a consumer account. Choose from the following 4" x 6" small easel-backed teller station counter cards according to your disclosure needs: |
|
| SCC-96-240: All next day availability banks. (Follows model C-18) | |
| SCC-96-241: All banks EXCEPT next day availability banks. (Follows model C-18) |
|
SCC-96-242: All banks EXCEPT next day availability banks. |
|
| SCC-97-243: All next day availability credit unions. (Follows model C-18) | |
| SCC-97-244: All credit unions EXCEPT next day availability banks. (Follows model C-18) |
|
SCC-97-245: All credit unions EXCEPT next day availability banks. |
