Title: Account Based Disclosures in Connection with 12 CFR part 707
(Truth in Savings).
[[Page 38933]]
Abstract: The Truth in Savings Act (TISA), 12 U.S.C. 4301 et seq.,
requires depository institutions to disclose to consumers certain
information, including interest rates, dividends, bonuses, and fees
associated with their deposit accounts and accompanying services. TISA
also directed the National Credit Union Administration (NCUA) to
promulgate a TISA regulation governing credit unions. Section 272(b) of
TISA, 12 U.S.C. 4311(b), mandated that the NCUA regulation be
``substantially similar'' to those of the Consumer Financial Protection
Bureau (CFPB), but the NCUA may take into account the unique nature of
credit unions and the limitations under which they may pay dividends.
To implement TISA, the NCUA published its TISA regulation, 12 CFR
part 707, which applies to all credit unions whose accounts are either
insured by, or eligible to be insured by, the National Credit Union
Share Insurance Fund, except for any credit union that has been
designated as a corporate credit union and any non-automated credit
union that has $2 million or less in assets (together, ``credit
unions''). In addition, the advertising rules apply to any person who
advertises an account offered by a credit union. The NCUA's TISA
regulation requires credit unions to disclose fees, dividend rates and
other terms concerning accounts to members or potential members before
they open accounts.
The NCUA's TISA regulation requires credit unions to provide
specific disclosures when an account is opened, when a disclosed term
changes or a term account is close to renewal, on periodic statements
of account activity, in advertisements, and upon a member's or
potential member's request. Credit unions that provide periodic
statements are required to include information about fees imposed, the
annual percentage yield (APY) earned during those statement periods,
and other account terms. The requirements for creating and
disseminating account disclosures, change in terms notices, term share
renewal notices, statement disclosures, and advertising disclosures are
necessary to implement TISA's purpose of providing the public with
information that will permit informed comparisons of accounts at
financial institutions.
The collection of information pursuant to Part 707 is triggered by
specific events and disclosures and must be provided to consumers
within the time periods established under the regulation. Credit unions
must retain evidence of compliance for a minimum of two years after the
disclosures are required to be made or an action is required to be
taken.
Type of Review: Extension of a currently approved collection.
Affected Public: Private Sector: Not-for-profit institutions.
Estimated Total Annual Burden Hours: 373,870.
By Gerard Poliquin, Secretary of the Board, the National Credit
Union Administration, on June 23, 2020.
