System hereby prescribes the following maximum rates1 of interest
payable by member banks of the Federal Reserve System on time
and savings deposits:
(a) M axim um rate of Sl/ 2 percent. — No member bank shall
pay interest accruing at a rate in excess of 5j4 per cent per annum, com­
pounded quarterly,2 regardless of the basis upon which such interest
may be computed, on any time deposit.
(b) M axim um rate of 4 per cent. — No member bank shall pay
interest accruing at a rate in excess of 4 per cent per annum, compounded
quarterly,2 regardless of the basis upon which such interest may be
computed, on any savings deposit.
xThe maximum rates of interest payable by member banks of the Federal Reserve System on
time and savings deposits as prescribed herein are not applicable to any deposit which is payable
only at an office of a member bank located outside of the States of the United States and the
District of Columbia.
2This limitation is not to be interpreted as preventing the compounding of interest at
other than quarterly intervals, provided that the aggregate amount of such interest so com­
pounded does not exceed the aggregate amount of interest at the rate above prescribed when
compounded quarterly.
