Under the provisions of Regulation Q (paragraph (o) of subsec­
tion (c) of Section III and paragraph (5) of subsection (c) of Sec­
tion V), a member bank may pay interest on a time or savings deposit

which is payable only at an office of such bank located outside of
the States of the United States and of the District of Columbia at
a rate not exceeding the maximum rate set forth in Regulation Q "or
such higher maximum rate as may be prescribed by the Federal Re­
serve Board from time to time for payment in the locality in which
such office is located".
In accordance with these provisions of Regulation Q, the Fed­
eral Reserve Board hereby prescribes the following maximum rates of
interest which may be paid by member banks on time and savings de­
posits payable only at offices of such banks located outside of the
States of the United States and of the District of Columbia:
On time deposits as defined in Regulation Q, a
rate not in excess of 6 percent per annum, compounded quar­
terly, regardless of the basis upon which such interest may
be computed;
On savings deposits as defined in Regulation Q, a.
rate not in excess of 4 percent per annum, compounded quar­
terly, regardless of the basis upon 'which such interest may

Such maximum rates of interest shall be effective February 1,
1935, and until such time as different rates may hereafter be pre­
scribed by the Federal Reserve Board.
The above are the maximum rates of interest which, may be paid
by member banks on such deposits in any place outside of the States
of the United States and of the District of Columbia.

However, the

Federal Reserve Board will expect that no member bank will pay in­
terest on any such deposit at a rate in excess of that paid on de­
posits of a. like class by competing institutions situated in the
locality in which such payment of interest is made.
