The Regulation E Book Guidelines for ACH Compliance

This book is intended to help you understand and comply with Regulation E, as it applies to Automated Clearing House (ACH) transfers, which reflects the regulation and official interpretation of the regulation by the staff of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System. This book is not intended to provide legal advice to your institution on the application of the Electronic Funds Transfer Act and Regulation E. You should consult your legal counsel on that question, as well as on any other changes in the regulation and its interpretation by the Federal Reserve.

Section II provides key Regulation E/NACHA terms and definitions and shows the differences in usage between NACHA and Regulation E. Section III considers three different kinds of disclosure requirements and sets forth procedures for error resolution. A convenient flow chart graphically demonstrates this process. A Guide to Reg E Statement Requirements is also included in this section and contains informational sample statements. Four sample transactions - two debit and two credit - are also included.

The substantial liabilities for failing to make transfers in accordance with the regulation are detailed in section IV. Section V is a Q & A format covering issues that financial institutions and companies may raise about the regulation. A concluding section shows model disclosure clauses that a financial institution may use to comply with Regulation E. Text of the EFT Act of 1978, the regulation and its official staff interpretations are also included. (WesPay) (2006)
