What if a commercial customer gets a phishing email. Customer opens email. Computer gets highjacked. Online cash management account is compromised. Highjackers transfer out $250,000. Would the bank be protected? What, if any, regs apply?

This is governed by your state's Uniform Commercial Code and the "reasonable commercial standards" of your online security monitoring and strength of login processes as well as your agreement with the commercial customer. You should have your legal department review your contract and state law as well as review the FFIEC Supplemental Guidance and 2005 FFIEC Guidance on the topic and determine if your authentication and monitoring processes are sufficient.

Regardless of the measures that you have in place, that may not stop your customer from suing you.
