We are one of those hold-out banks that issue passbooks for CD's. Beginning May 1st we are ceasing that practice and just printing a signature card similar to checking and savings accounts. The Mass Banker's Handbook states that: "If individuals lose their passbooks or certificates of deposit a Lost Passbook/CD affidavit must be completed and signed by all parties named on the account.....". My specific question is, does the use of the term CD certificate mean the signature card, or does it refer to institutions that issue actual "certificates", much, like stock certificates used to be issued?

Does Reg D apply differently to MMAs than to personal savings accounts? I was told by a senior banker that personal savings accounts were not able to write or order checks. I know that we are able to order MMA checks, so I questioned her. She then stated that personal savings accounts are subject to different applications of Reg D. She stated that this was because MMAs have higher balance requirements so they are given the option of drafting checks. Is she correct?
