Compounding Period Interest compounds on your account daily, using a 365/360 interest factor. Interest Accrual Interest begins to accrue on the business day you deposit non-cash items, such as checks. Although your account may earn interest each day, you may not withdraw the earnings until the end of the interest crediting period (see Payment of Interest).

  • The Bank Holding Company Act of 1956
    THE BANK HOLDING COMPANY ACT OF 1956 T HE Bank Holding Company Act of 1956,1 designed principally to regulate the expansion of bank holding companies and to insure the separation of banking and nonbanking enterprises,' is perhaps the most important banking legislation of the past two decades. The im- mediate economic consequences of the act are themselves deserving of comment, 3 but, even more significantly, the act represents the first comprehensive congressional action with regard to multiple banking through the use of the holding company. Though of comparatively recent origin,4 the bank holding company device has become as prom- inent as both the other forms of multiple banking, chains5 and branches,6 largely because of the economic inadequacies of the former 7 and the legal restrictions imposed upon the latter.8 A brief historical survey of bank holding company -development will serve to highlight an analysis of the act itself. Historically, the independent, unit bank, with its welfare dependent upon the economic health of the small area it serves, has too frequently been unable to withstand the adverse affect of even brief, localized eco- nomic depression2 Particularly in the small towns of the agrarian West and South during the i92O's and 193O's, bank suspensions occurred at an astonishing rate."

  • Beneficial Ownership for Legal Entity Customers
    Beneficial Ownership — Overview Beneficial Ownership Requirements for Legal Entity Customers – Overview Objective. Assess the bank’s written procedures and overall compliance with regulatory requirements for identifying and verifying beneficial owner(s) of legal entity customers. Under the Beneficial Ownership Rule,1 a bank must establish and maintain written procedures that are reasonably designed to identify and verify beneficial owner(s) of legal entity customers and to include such procedures in its anti-money laundering compliance program. Legal entities, whether domestic or foreign, can be used to facilitate money laundering and other crimes because their true ownership can be concealed. The collection of beneficial ownership information by banks about legal entity customers can provide law enforcement with key details about suspected criminals who use legal entity structures to conceal their illicit activity and assets. Requiring legal entity customers seeking access to banks to disclose identifying information, such as the name, date of birth, and Social Security number of natural persons who own or control them will make such entities more transparent, and thus less attractive to criminals and those who assist them. Similar to other customer information that a bank may gather, beneficial ownership information collected under the rule may be relevant to other regulatory requirements. These other regulatory requirements include, but are not limited to, identifying suspicious activity, and determining Office of Foreign Assets Control

The landscape is intended to serve as a basis to assess their potential to expand access to financial services. For this purpose, eight countries in the region were pre-selected for further analysis. The main assumption was that these countries have postal networks actively involved in providing financial services. The countries have diverse backgrounds, market contexts, institutional constellations, and development of their respective postal networks. For some aspects and some countries (e.g., Libya, Syria), data was not available, or only to a limited extent, by the desk research finished in 2004. In particular, this concerns data for the role of the postal networks in the cashless payment systems, the significance of the postal financial services compared to monetary aggregates, and the details of the financial services rendered
