I Googled your post title and copied and pasted. Section 204.2(d)(2) of Regulation D of the Federal Reserve Board’s definition of a "savings deposit:” "the depositor is permitted or authorized to make no more than six transfers and withdrawals, or a combination of such transfers and withdrawals, per calendar month or statement cycle . . . to another account (including a transaction account) of the depositor at the same institution or to a third party by means of a preauthorized or automatic transfer, or telephonic (including data transmission) agreement, order, or instruction, and no more than three of the six such transfers may be made by check, draft, debit card, or similar order made by the depositor and payable to third parties." |

No idea about the law, but my bank (not Chase) says the same thing.

Its a reg dealing with transferring FROM a savings account. It was designed to "help" citizens build a savings and considers a "savings" account that has multiple (5-6+) transfers from to not meet the definition of a savings account.

Wes Yep, when I was with Chase i made more transfers than allowed by law and then received a letter saying that if I continued that they would have to change my savings account to a type that i could do that. I was like  WTF?

Keep your money out of the banks and not only will you have immediate access to it, they won't be able to charge you any fees.

My bank told me I have to keep a minimum balance of $1500 in each of my direct deposit accounts starting in June or they'll charge me $45 a month. When I asked they said it was a new federal regulation. |

This has been in effect for quite some time (years), and I don't think that there is any penalty for any number of deposits (electronic or manual) going INTO the account, so I don't think that would be a problem. It has mainly to do with electronic transfers out of the account, as if it were a checking account. |

My bank does this too and has for awhile, but it is only if you transfer money from one of your accounts to another. Paying bills and direct deposit are not transfering from one of your accounts to another, so that doesn't cost anything. |

Lots of
in this thread. This is nothing new and there is nothing stopping you from making withdraws out of your savings account. If you need to make a ACH withdraw on a daily basis get a damn checking account and move enough money from your savings account into your checking account at the beginning of the month(or week) and be done with it. It's not that complicated. A retarded monkey could figure it out. Quoted: Sounds like an anti-money laundering provision. How is it a anti-laundering provision when I can just transfer a few thousand dollars from a savings account into a checking accound and have ACH withdraws on the checking account every day?

just thank the feds for regulating your money, so they can make money off of you again besides taxation.
I think when I get back to work, I'll close my accounts and pay the $5 at walmart thereby keeping my money. No fees for any of the bullshit at the bank, use money orders and that's that. BofA is charging our company $720 yr for other people to deposit money into an account. Its getting closed BofA can go fuck themselves. It used to be $5 a month, now its $60 a month. |

6 withdrawals from a "savings" account is the limit, although you can invariably access your savinsg by ATM with no penalty (at least that's what my credit union say)
Day-to-day bills should come out of checking. It's not like it makes a whole heap of difference as you're probably getting less than 1% on your savings account anyways. |

With fractional reserve banking, "banksters" can lend out at least $15,000 (at 5% or more) of "funny money" |

Wachovia told me the same with my savings account, withdrawals over three per cycle, get charged $3.

It has to do with how the banks are allowed to calculate their liquidity.
Savings accounts are scored differently than checking. |

Quoted:

Regulation D is the covering law in regards to savings withdrawls. Savings accounts and Certificates of Deposits are the monies used to loan out to other customers which is why YOU get paid interest on letting the bank borrow those funds. A major part of bank assets would be deposits. Checking accounts are "immune" because they are coded for checking, in other words most of the monies in those DDAs will be gone within that month and a bank cannot count on or loan out that money. It has nothing to do with money laundering or illegal activity and solely to do with accounting.
As far as the customer above with the $45 claim... a new regulation was not passed saying that is required so that teller told you wrong. However several new regulations and updates did come down last year. One major thing was allowing customers to Opt Out meaning less NSF/OD fees for all the branches which means that money has to be made up somehow. Charging for accounts is one way.

The less that .gov knows about what your $$$ transactions, the better. Uh-oh, I bet this post raises a 'flag' with all of the new IRS agents that have been hired through OBlome-kare.

People, stop freaking out.
1) Its been this way for a LONG time. 2) The limit is only for ELECTRONIC transfers, that means withdrawls done NOT at your bank or one of your bank's ATMS. Electronic transfers would be: Moving money online out of savings into checking Sending money directly from your savings Auto-deduct of rent/bills from savings I hate that the fed has any say in the matter, but this is not some new obama-will-destroy-everything law, its been this way for a long time and it does NOT prevent you from pulling your money out, it just limits electronic withdrawals. |

BoA has been doing it since at least 2004.
One of my coworkers was bitching in 2005 that their bank was mad at them for having too many withdraws from their savings account in a month (I think they were at 7-8) because they'd told all of their bill companies to automatically debit their account when they bought a house and decided to go completely paperless. They were racking up $30+ in fees per month due to it, until they got all of the companies to turn off the automatic debits. Kharn |

Credit unions pay no taxes. Banks do. Credit unions are parasitic upon the banking infrastructure, and parasitic upon the taxpayer as well. Now, if we had a moderately anarcho-capitalist system, it wouldn't matter. In my time I have seen banks, credit unions, savings & loans, savings banks. Some of these were state chartered banks regulated by the states, and some were federally chartered, and regulated by the comptroller of the currency. Then, there are member banks of the federal reserve. I like gold and silver coins, but it would indeed be painful to have to depend upon them for payment of goods & services. |

Nothing to do with Laundering or terrorism or what have you. This reg was designed to help BANKERS get a grip of the amounts on deposit and amounts likely not to be withdrawn. It has to do with fractional banking and creating a larger money supply.
