FDIC BOARD WAIVES CERTAIN BURDENSOME REQUIREMENTS RELATING TO CONFIRMATION OF BANK CUSTOMER SECURITIES TRANSACTIONS
|
|
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE PR-22-95 (3-21-95) |
|
The FDIC Board of Directors said today it is waiving under
certain circumstances its requirement that state nonmember banks
carrying out securities transactions for customers disclose on the
confirmation statement or separately the portion of the fee charged
to customers represented by the amount of the bank's commission.
The waiver is effective immediately.
The Board took this action in order to eliminate a disparity in the rules for state nonmember banks in relation to state member and national banks, which are not required to provide the disclosures. Banks that sell securities through third parties typically receive a portion of the load, or commission, but the amount may vary depending on the monthly volume and type of sales that are made. Many banks are unable to determine either in advance or immediately after a trade the precise amount of their share of the fee and, therefore, are unable to disclose this information to the customer when the transaction is confirmed. Even though the commission notice has been waived, bank customers will continue to receive information about their transactions under existing securities industry standards, including disclosure of the total fees paid in connection with securities transactions. |
