Abstract
On December 20, 2023, the FDIC adopted a final rule that, among other things, amended the FDIC's official sign and advertisement of membership requirements for insured depository institutions (IDIs). The current compliance date for requirements related to displaying the official digital sign on IDIs' digital deposit-taking channels and automated teller machines (ATMs) and like devices is March 1, 2026. The FDIC is delaying the March 1, 2026, compliance date to January 1, 2027. This delay will provide certainty and minimize undue burden on IDIs while the FDIC completes consideration of a proposal to amend requirements related to digital deposit-taking channels and ATMs and like devices.

FDIC's Name or Logo
AGENCY: Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC).
ACTION: Final rule; delay of compliance date.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: On December 20, 2023, the FDIC adopted a final rule that,
among other things, amended the FDIC's official sign and advertisement
of membership requirements for insured depository institutions (IDIs).
The current compliance date for requirements related to displaying the
official digital sign on IDIs' digital deposit-taking channels and
automated teller machines (ATMs) and like devices is March 1, 2026. The
FDIC is delaying the March 1, 2026, compliance date to January 1, 2027.
This delay will provide certainty and minimize undue burden on IDIs
while the FDIC completes consideration of a proposal to amend
requirements related to digital deposit-taking channels and ATMs and
like devices.
DATES: The compliance date for the requirements in 12 CFR 328.4 and
328.5, which was initially delayed at 89 FR 84261 (October 22, 2024)
and was subsequently delayed at 90 FR 11659 (March 11, 2025), is
further delayed to January 1, 2027.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On December 20, 2023, the FDIC adopted a
final rule \1\ revising the official sign and advertising regulations
implementing section 18(a) of the Federal Deposit Insurance Act.\2\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\1\ 89 FR 3504.
\2\ 12 U.S.C. 1828(a).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
The final rule became effective on April 1, 2024, and required full
compliance with the rule by January 1, 2025. Based upon feedback from
IDIs and other industry participants, the FDIC delayed the compliance
date for the amendments in subpart A of 12 CFR part 328 to May 1,
2025.\3\ The delay was intended to provide additional time for IDIs to
put in place processes and systems and make technological updates. In
March 2025, the compliance date was further delayed as to the
requirements in 12 CFR 328.4 and 328.5.\4\ This second delay recognized
that the requirements of 12 CFR 328.4 and 328.5, relating to signage
requirements for digital deposit-taking channels and ATMs and like
devices, continued to generate questions regarding implementation and
had the potential to cause consumer confusion. The delay allowed the
FDIC to consider proposing changes to these requirements, which it did
on August 21, 2025.\5\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\3\ 89 FR 84261 (Oct. 22, 2024).
\4\ 90 FR 11659 (Mar. 11, 2025).
\5\ 90 FR 40767.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Specifically, on August 21, 2025, the FDIC issued a notice of
proposed rulemaking seeking comment on a proposal that would amend the
requirements of 12 CFR 328.4 and 328.5 to minimize identified
implementation issues, reduce burden, and address potential consumer
confusion. Given that the FDIC is considering changes to 12 CFR 328.4
and 328.5, the approaching March 1, 2026, compliance deadline for the
present requirements of 12 CFR 328.4 and 328.5 has created uncertainty
and could impose unnecessary burden on IDIs. To address these concerns,
the FDIC is delaying the compliance date for the requirements in 12 CFR
328.4 and 328.5 from March 1, 2026, to January 1, 2027.\6\ This delayed
[[Page 54545]]
compliance date is subject to any changes to these provisions made by
any future rulemaking.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\6\ The policies and procedures required by 12 CFR 328.8 for
which the compliance date is May 1, 2025, will not need to address
the requirements in 12 CFR 328.4 or 328.5, until January 1, 2027,
the full compliance date for these provisions.

By order of the Board of Directors.
Dated at Washington, DC, on November 25, 2025.

Deputy Executive Secretary.
