Banks may extend and maintain purpose credit without complying with Regulation U if the credit is extended:
Banks may extend and maintain purpose credit without complying with Regulation U in specific scenarios. One such scenario is providing credit to any customer, excluding brokers or dealers, to temporarily finance the purchase or sale of securities for prompt delivery, provided the credit is repaid in the ordinary course of business on the completion of the transaction. Another scenario is when the credit is extended to enable a customer to meet emergency expenses that were not reasonably foreseen, such as those related to unforeseen death or disability, as long as the bank obtains a good faith statement from the customer. These exceptions align with the provisions and intent of Regulation U.
This option describes a scenario where banks can extend credit without complying with Regulation U's requirements. Regulation U sets forth certain restrictions on the amount of credit that banks can extend for the purpose of buying or carrying margin stock, but it allows for exceptions, such as temporary financing for the purchase or sale of securities for prompt delivery with the understanding that the credit will be repaid promptly upon the completion of the transaction.
