    Description: Section 557.20 requires savings associations to 
establish and maintain deposit documentation practices and records. 
These records should include adequate evidence of ownership, balances, 
and all transactions involving the account. In addition, part 557 
relies on the disclosure regulations applicable to savings associations

    The regulations assist consumers in comparing deposit accounts 
offered by

depository institutions. Consumers receive disclosures about fees, 
annual percentage yield, interest rate, and other account terms 
whenever a consumer requests the information and before the consumer 
opens an account. The regulation also requires that savings 
associations provide fees and other information on any periodic 
statement the institution sends to the consumer. Regulation DD contains 
rules for advertisements of deposit accounts and advance notices to 
account holders of adverse changes in terms.
