Wednesday, July 17, 2019
3:00 pm – 4:30 pm Eastern

Regulation E protects consumers from unauthorized ATM and debit card transactions, which imposes many responsibilities and liabilities on financial institutions.  Fraud losses continue to increase from counterfeit ATM/debit cards and the unauthorized use of validly issued ATM/debit cards.  Reg E is a complex set of rules and deadlines that must be followed when responding to accountholder claims.  Did you know that the Reg E rules are different depending on whether an ATM/debit card or other access device was actually used in the transaction?  This webinar will explain how to properly handle all types of unauthorized ATM/debit card claims and how to accurately calculate the amount, if any, that must be reimbursed to the accountholder.
