A Federal Reserve regulation that established the capital requirements for the banks.

Under this, banks were restricted from paying interest on demand deposit accounts. It also put a cap on the interest the banks could pay savings and NOW accounts.

This was essentially removed by the Dodd-Frank bill which became law in 2010. Now banks can offer interest, although they are not required, on demand deposit accounts.

The remaining aspects of Regulation Q which still exist are now a part of Regulation D.
