Earlier this month, the FDIC updated their Consumer Compliance Exam Manual by adding a section on Disclosure Requirements for Sweep Accounts. This new section adds just a half a page of instruction and is intended to assist examiners in the review of disclosure requirements that apply to all sweep account contracts, which require financial institutions to prominently disclose whether swept funds are deposits and the status of the swept funds if the institution were to fail.
