The Bank Policy Institute[1] and the American Bankers Association[2] appreciate the opportunity to
provide comments on the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation’s Notice of Proposed Rulemaking Relating to False Advertising, Misrepresentation of Insured Status, and Misuse of The FDIC’s Name or Logo.[3] The proposal is intended to modernize the FDIC’s sign and advertising regulations so that they better reflect the increased use of internet and mobile banking channels to access insured depository institution banking and other services. Additionally, the proposal clarifies the FDIC’s rules regarding misrepresentation of deposit insurance.
