Truth in Savings Act and Regulation DD
require depository institutions to disclose yields, fees, and other
terms concerning deposit accounts to consumers at account opening,
upon request, and when changes in terms occur. Depository
institutions that provide periodic statements are required to
include information about fees imposed, interest earned, and the
annual percentage yield earned during those statement periods. The
act and regulation mandate the methods by which institutions
determine the account balance on which interest is calculated. They
also contain rules about advertising deposit accounts. Information
collection pursuant to Regulation DD is triggered by specific
events and disclosures must be provided to consumers within the
time periods established by the law and regulation. There are no
reporting forms associated with Regulation DD. To ease the
compliance cost (particularly for small entities), model clauses
and sample forms are appended to the regulation. Depository
institutions are required to "retain evidence of compliance" for 24
months, but the regulation does not specify types of records that
must be retained.
