It really depends on whether this access device represents a new product or service for which the customer has contracted.
From the commentary to 1005.7 "...if an agreement for EFT services to be provided by an account- holding institution is directly between the consumer and the account-holding institution, disclosures must be given in close proximity to the event requiring disclosure, for example, when the consumer contracts for a new service."
If you are just replacing a debit card because my old one expired, I am not contracting for a new service and no redisclosure is needed.

If you provide Reg E disclosures at account opening and six months later (timeframe arbitrary) I request internet banking or a debit card, the "close proximity" statement in the commentary means you owe me a full set of disclosures. Since I do not want to get into a semantics argument with my examiners regarding the definition of close proximity, six months, six weeks, six days, doesn't really matter, I'm providing a full EFT disclosure with the request for a new service.

I've had that discussion with my examiners in the past and it is an undefined term. Suffice it to say you can give a lot of Reg E disclosures more cheaply than you and management can argue a point. I've always favored, "here's your new card, here's the disclosures..." This is especially so if when I opened my account I didn't want a card, 6 months later I do. First, do you think I read the disclosures you gave me 6 months ago, and do you think I even glanced at one that was for a product I refused? My point is, even if a consumer DID read what you gave them, they wouldn't spend time reading the ones that had no association at the time to what they were getting.

IMHO it could work against you to provide Reg. E disclosures to a customer who begins utilizing a service that was requested and previously disclosed (properly, of course). Call me pessimistic, but I could see an over-zealous auditor or examiner questioning why you waited until the service was utilized to disclose, which by then is too late and becomes a "guilty until you prove yourself innocent" situation.

A service might be available, but when did they sign the Bill-Pay agreement? I assume that you have one? Debt cards are available to all at account opening also - but the act of issuing them one is the provision of the access device.

I see bill pay as no different than a debit card. I might have one - I may never use it - but if I did two years down the road you don't send me a new disclosure. I have had the access device the whole time.

The opt-in/out under § 1005.17 of Regulation E is a choice concerning how the cardholder's account is handled with regard to card-related transactions, not about the card itself. Replacement of a card that's lost, stolen or expired does not affect the consumer's opt-in/out status under § 1005.17.

Apparently, we've been issuing a new Reg E disclosure every time a card is ordered or re-ordered for whatever reason. That's a lot of paper! If the account holder was provided with the massive Reg E disclosure at account opening, do they ever need it again?

We are required to provide a disclosure in "close proximity" if a customer contracts for a new service, such as requesting a debit card or internet banking for the first time. A new disclosure is not required when providing a replacement card due to expiration or loss of a previously requested card.

The problem is can they differentiate between issuing a replacement card and issuing a new card to an existing account holder which it is not in "close proximity". Many banks can't and they therefore include a new disclosure with each card that they issue.

Being an undefined term, "close proximity" meant about 5 minutes in my bank.
- No question of compliance. - A $.03 disclosure. - One less thing to keep me up at night after an examiner questioned us about it and there was no good or right answer at the time.
