I see a lot of guru Q and A's regarding directors and overdrafts and overdraft fees. My bank's policy is to exempt all directors from our overdraft protection program, so that we don't have to worry about Reg O issues on that score, but my question has to do with a plain old ordinary non-sufficient funds fee. Is it a Reg O violation to refund an NSF fee?

Reg O Section 215.10 reads: Each executive officer or director of a member bank the shares of which are not publicly traded shall report annually to the board of directors of the member bank the outstanding amount of any credit that was extended to the executive officer or director and that is secured by shares of the member bank. Question: Must the insider's name be on the report, or is it sufficient to report "one insider has X amount secured by shares of the member bank"?
