OCC revises NDIP pamphlet of Comptroller's Handbook

The OCC has issued Bulletin 2024-13 announcing version 2.0 of the "Retail Nondeposit Investment Products" booklet of the Comptroller's Handbook. This booklet discusses risks and risk management practices associated with the recommendation or sale of nondeposit investment products to retail customers. This booklet also provides examiners with a framework for evaluating a bank’s retail nondeposit investment product program.

The revised booklet replaces version 1.0 of the booklet with the same title issued January 2015. Also rescinded is OCC Bulletin 2015-2, “Retail Nondeposit Investment Products: Revised Comptroller's Handbook Booklet and Rescissions.”

The revised booklet—

• incorporates significant regulatory changes adopted in the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission’s Regulation Best Interest that may relate to banks' securities activities
• reflects OCC and interagency issuances that have been published or rescinded since January 2015
• provides further clarity regarding sound risk management practices and guidance to examiners
• includes other minor updates for general clarity
