General description of report: This
information collection is mandatory (15
U.S.C. 1693 et seq.). The disclosures
required by the rule and information
about error allegations and their
resolution are confidential between the
institution and the consumer. Since the
Federal Reserve does not collect any
information, no issue of confidentiality
arises. However, the information, if
made available to the Federal Reserve,
may be protected from disclosure under
exemptions (b)(4), (6), and (8) of the
Freedom of Information Act (5 U.S.C.
552 (b)(4), (6), and (8)).
Abstract: The Electronic Funds
Transfer Act and Regulation E are
designed to ensure adequate disclosure
of basic terms, costs, and rights relating
to electronic fund transfer (EFT)
services provided to consumers.
Institutions offering EFT services must
disclose to consumers certain
information, including: Initial and
updated EFT terms, transaction
information, periodic statements of
activity, the consumer’s potential
liability for unauthorized transfers, and
error resolution rights and procedures.
EFT services include automated teller
machines, telephone bill payment,
point–of– sale transfers in retail stores,
fund transfers initiated through the
internet, and preauthorized transfers to
or from a consumer’s account.
