Burdensome Proposed FDIC FBO Account Rules Loom Large for Banks and FinTechs
On September 17, 2024, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) published a notice of proposed rulemaking (the Proposed Rule) that would heighten record-keeping requirements on FDIC-insured depository institutions (banks) that maintain transactional deposit accounts for financial technology (FinTech) firms and other third parties that act as agents on behalf of an end customer—e.g., a digital-wallet customer, a buyer of a prepaid access card, and the like. If the FDIC finalizes the Proposed Rule, banks that maintain so-called FBO or for-the-benefit-of accounts (also referred to as custodial accounts) with their FinTech partners will need to update their program agreements and data-keeping practices, reconcile customer account balances on a daily basis, and make annual filings with the FDIC.

What Is the Equal Rights Amendment?
Currently, the Constitution does not guarantee that all the rights it protects are held equally by all citizens without regard to sex. With 24 words, the Equal Rights Amendment would change that. It would provide that “[e]quality of rights under the law shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or any State on account of sex.” It would also give Congress the power to enforce that constitutional guarantee by passing legislation.

Passed in 1998 and implemented in 2000, the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) updated U.S. law to meet the requirements of international copyright treaties. The DMCA addresses challenging issues relating to uses of copyrighted material in the digital environment: it limits the liability of online service providers that meet certain conditions, while providing certain procedures for addressing online infringement; it prohibits circumvention of digital technologies that control or limit access to copyrighted works; and it prohibits the removal or modification of certain types of copyright management information contained in protected works. Title II of the DMCA (sometimes also referred to as the Online Copyright Infringement Liability Limitation Act, or OCILLA) is codified at Section 512, Title 17, of the United States Code.
