Abstract: The Electronic Fund Transfer Act (EFTA), 15 U.S.C. 1693 et seq., requires accurate disclosure of the costs, terms, and rights relating to electronic fund transfer (EFT) services and remittance transfer services to consumers. Entities offering EFT services must provide consumers with full and accurate information regarding consumers' rights and responsibilities in connection with EFT services. These disclosures are intended to protect the rights of consumers using EFT services, such as automated teller machine (ATM) transfers, telephone bill-payment services, point-of-sale transfers at retail establishments, electronic check conversion, payroll cards, and preauthorized transfers from or to a consumer's account. EFTA also establishes error resolution procedures and limits consumer liability for unauthorized transfers in connection with EFT services. EFTA and Regulation E impose disclosure and other requirements on issuers and sellers of gift cards, gift certificates, and general-use prepaid cards. Further, EFTA and Regulation E provide protections for consumers in the United States who send remittance transfers to persons in a foreign country. It also provides comprehensive protections for consumers who use "prepaid accounts." Tailored provisions governing disclosures, limited liability, error resolution, and periodic statements added new requirements regarding the posting of account agreements. Additionally, Regulations E regulates overdraft credit features offered in connection with prepaid accounts.
Request for Comments: The CFPB published a 60-day Federal Register notice on March 10, 2025 (90 FR 11600) under Docket Number: CFPB-2025-0009.
