Federal Reserve Bank OF DALLAS W IL L IA M H. WALLACE DALLAS, TEXAS 75222 FIRST V IC E PR ES ID EN T AND C H IE F O PER ATING O FFIC ER June 29, 1990 Circular 90-43 TO: The Cashier or Individual Responsible for Managing the Reserve/Clearing Account at the financial institution addressed SUBJECT Reminder of Policy Change Regarding Overnight Overdrafts in Reserve/Clearing Accounts DETAILS This is a reminder of Circular 89-61 sent to you on November 10, 1989, announcing a policy change to Overnight Overdrafts in Reserve/Clearing Accounts, effective January 2, 1990. With the implementation of the revised policy, an institution’s overdraft history was determined by the number of occurrences six months prior to January 2, 1990, freezing the date July 1, 1989, and "phasing in" additional months as the year progressed until 12 months were phased in. Effective July 1, 1990, 12 months will be completely phased in, and the moving 12 months of overdraft history will be used. Other revisions to the policy included the change in definition of excessive overdraft occurrences. Under the revised policy, six overdrafts during a moving 12-month period will be considered excessive. In the case of an institution incurring an excessive number of overdrafts, a graduated monetary charge rate may be used to discourage future overdrafts. The monetary charge rate may be increased by one-half of a percentage point for each occurrence over six in a moving 12-month period.
