Here is an example: https://www.capitalone.com/bank/disclosures/savings-accounts...

> Advance Notice of Withdrawal: Under federal law, we must reserve the right to require you to give us at least 7 days written notice before you take money out of your 360 Savings. (This hardly ever happens but legally we have to say it!)

Interesting, and this appears to be federally-mandated. Wow.

Are there other jurisdictions where this kind of rule exists?

I used to have savings accounts with similar terms in the UK. They have a higher interest rate.

Sure, I understand the general principle of locking up your investment for longer and [perhaps] getting better conditions, but the notice periods on those accounts aren't government-mandated, though?

Sort of - to the FDIC, the difference between a savings account and a checking account is that a checking account is a "demand deposit" account that historically didn't pay interest and a savings account is a "time deposit" that does. Capital One is telling you that this savings account is a time deposit to legally categorize it as different from a demand deposit so the FDIC treats them as two separate categories and gives them both the $250,000 deposit insurance. It's federal law that requires them to delineate the two.
