The fee disclosure was omitted at the point of service, preventing the customer from making an informed decision. Account closure fee disclosure requirements appear inadequately enforced at branch level.

When banks unilaterally close CD accounts before maturity, they apply the same early withdrawal penalties designed to discourage customer-initiated early redemption. Customers who took no action to close their CDs are penalized for the bank's own decision. There is no regulatory standard requiring banks to waive penalties when they are the initiating party in early closure.
