Overdraft Payment Program Supervisory Guidance Staff Teleconference on Implementation

March 16, 2011

Summary: 

Staff from the FDIC's Division of Depositor and Consumer Protection (DCP) will host a teleconference on March 29, 2011, to discuss the 2010 Overdraft Payment Program Supervisory Guidance issued in November 2010 (FIL-81-2010). The purpose of the call is to assist FDIC-supervised institutions as they implement efforts to mitigate risk in response to the expectations and recommendations identified in the guidance. In addition to providing an overview of the guidance, staff will address examination and implementation issues based on discussions with, and questions received from, FDIC-supervised institutions.

Highlights:

  • On November 24, 2010, the FDIC issued final Overdraft Payment Program Supervisory Guidance reaffirming existing supervisory expectations with respect to overdraft payment programs and providing specific guidance with respect to automated overdraft payment programs.
  • To allow sufficient time for institutions to review, consider, and respond to the expectations in the final guidance, the FDIC stated that it expects any additional efforts to mitigate risk to be in place by July 1, 2011.
  • The teleconference will be held on Tuesday, March 29, 2011, from 3:00 to 4:30 p.m. EDT.
  • Advance registration is required. Registration information, presentation materials, and call-in information will be made available at http://www.fdic.gov/news/conferences/overdraft/2011-03-29.html.
