FRB: Press Release -- Revisions to staff commentary on Regulation E (Electronic Fund Transfers) -- March 13, 2001

Release Date: March 13, 2001

For immediate release
The Federal Reserve Board today published revisions to the Regulation E (Electronic Fund
Transfers) Official Staff Commentary, which applies and interprets the requirements of the
regulation.
The effective date is March 15, 2001; however, to allow time for any necessary operational
changes, the mandatory compliance date is January 1, 2002.
The revisions provide guidance on electronic check conversion transactions when a
consumer authorizes the use of a check to capture information for initiating an electronic
debit from the consumer�s account. Guidance is also provided on electronic
authorizations permitting recurring debits from a consumer�s account and other issues.
The commentary is intended to help financial institutions comply with Regulation E when
they offer electronic fund transfer services to consumers.
The Board�s notice is attached.
