Will your bank experience more debit card fraud investigation in 2022? Digital banking transaction numbers created a 54% increase in consumer usage of online and mobile channels to handle purchases in 2021. Employee confusion about Reg E and the error resolution process can be very costly. Does your bank have effective policies and procedures in place to ensure that all reports of errors related to electronic fund transfers are properly handled within the timeframes required by Regulation E? Are you confident going into an audit or exam that your error resolution program will stand up to the complex regulatory requirements? There are also strict “opt-in” requirements for ODP coverage. New regulatory scrutiny has been targeted on ODP programs. Could your ODP program be subject to fines under UDAAP? (Unfair, Deceptive and ABUSIVE Acts and Practices)  This seminar will help you understand the Regulation E requirements, including:

• The basic disclosure requirements of Reg E and the definitions that guide the regulation.
• How to determine if a customer is liable for an unauthorized transaction and conduct investigations into alleged errors.
• What the initial EFT (electronic fund transfer) disclosures must include and requirements to change the terms of your agreement.
• Review of ODP risks and best practices and these topics:

                   Opt-in requirements

                   Civil Money Penalties, and enforcement actions

                   UDAAP risks

• Learn if your bank is paying claims that could be denied within the guidelines of Reg E while also making sure that legitimate error resolution is being handled properly. Learn how to use investigation results effectively.
