2 Questions….
1. I am trying to find in Reg. Z if a demand feature is allowable on an unsecured line of credit. So far I have found 1026.17(c)(5) and 1026.18(i) which, I believe, is for closed end mortgage loans. We tried to build a LOC/demand feature product in our loan software and it will not allow us to check the box for the demand feature. Which leads us to believe that a demand feature is not allowed. Where can I find this in the Reg?
2. If we tie the unsecured LOC to a DDA will it be viewed as an overdraft product? We currently do not have an overdraft product. I have found in 1005.17:
§ 1005.17 Requirements for overdraft services.
(a) Definition. For purposes of this section, the term “overdraft service” means a service under which a financial institution assesses a fee or charge on a consumer’s account held by the institution for paying a transaction (including a check or other item) when the consumer has insufficient or unavailable funds in the account. The term “overdraft service” does not include any payment of overdrafts pursuant to:
(1) A line of credit subject to Regulation Z (12 CFR part 1026), including transfers from a credit card account, home equity line of credit, or overdraft line of credit;
(2) A service that transfers funds from another account held individually or jointly by a consumer, such as a savings account; or
(3) A line of credit or other transaction exempt from Regulation Z (12 CFR part 1026) pursuant to 12 CFR 1026.3(d).
I am interpreting this to mean that the LOC would not be considered an overdraft service. Is this correct?
Thanks for any help
