Regulation DD
The US consumer financial regulation (Truth in Savings) that implements the Truth in Savings Act, requiring clear disclosure of deposit account terms.
Overview
Regulation DD, codified at 12 CFR Part 1030, implements the Truth in Savings Act, requiring clear disclosure of deposit account terms. It covers disclosure of rates, fees and terms, and rules for advertising deposit accounts.
Rulemaking authority for it sits with the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau since the Dodd-Frank Act, while prudential regulators and the CFPB examine for compliance depending on the institution.
As regulation it is binding and specific, and it is the layer most directly mapped to controls. The authorities most closely connected to it are CFPB. It is often read together with Dodd-Frank.
