Regulation E Policy Update

Product Update Notification

Regulation E Policy Template Update - 09/20/06

Bankpolicies.com is proud to announce the immediate availability of our revised Regulation E Policy Template product.

The revision to this product is in response to the Federal Reserve's Press Release dated August 24, 2006 that announces the final rule with respect to payroll card accounts that are covered by Regulation E. The final rule grants flexibility to financial institutions that must provide account transaction information to payroll card users.

This final rule is effective July 1, 2007.

In addition, this product was also revised to reflect an interim final rule to provide additional clarification regarding Regulation E's coverage of the electronic collection of insufficient funds fees by merchants and other payees and consumer notice requirements for electronic check conversion transactions.

The effective date for the interim final rule is January 1, 2007, consistent with a previously issued January 2006 final rule; however, certain provisions regarding the fee disclosures will have a delayed compliance date of January 1, 2008.
