TCH Requests Further Study Before OCC Expands Opt-in and Disclosures for Overdraft Programs

In response to the OCC’s request for comments on its proposed Guidance on Deposit Related Consumer Credit Products, The Clearing House Association recommended that further study is needed before opt-in and disclosure requirements are expanded beyond the Fed’s 2009 Reg E overdraft requirements. TCH also suggested that any final guidance should employ principles-based standards, rather than prescriptive requirements, to better ensure that national banks effectively monitor for credit risk while treating customers fairly and honoring consumer choice.
