Federal Reserve scraps transfer limits on bank savings accounts

Federal Reserve scraps transfer limits on bank savings accountsThe U.S. Federal Reserve announced Friday that banks can now allow account holders to make an unlimited number of withdrawals and transfers from their savings accounts. The Fed said the move would help ensure people can access their funds “at a time when financial events associated with the coronavirus pandemic have made such access more urgent.” The Fed said it removed the limit because a recent policy shift had rendered it unnecessary.
