BOARD OF GOVERNORS
OF THE
FEDERAL RESERVE SYSTEM
STATEMENT FOR THE PRESS
For immediate release.

TRANSFERS OF LOANS

Ruling No. 1 interpreting Regulation U.

In response to an

inquiry from certain banks in New York City concerning section
5(e) of Regulation U, the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System rules as follows:
A bank may accept the transfer of a loan from another
lender, provided the- loan is not increased and the collateral
for the loan is not changed, even though the "maximum loan
value" of the collateral be less than the amount of the loan,
but may not thereafter permit at any time withdrawals or substitutions of collateral that would increase the deficiency at
such time.
