Financial institutions are required to post several different kinds of public notices on their premises. One type of required notice announces compliance with certain regulations. For example, the rules requiring highly visible Equal Housing Lender posters are well known.

To re-state your question, in part, if an institution conducts transactions online, where should such notices be posted?
On a website, the absence of a physical location in which to post regulatory notices raises two questions:
1) Which, if any, of the posting requirements apply to a website?
2) If a posting is required on a website, where should it appear?
We may gain some insight into these questions by examining the specific regulations. For example, HMDA (for institutions with an office located in a metropolitan area) requires a notice of availability of HMDA data.
