Is it necessary to have a customer sign a form for setting up overdraft protection transfers (e.g. auto transfer from savings to checking in the event of an overdraft) or can we just set it up in our system without a signature?

We require a signature so that we have something showing that the customer authorized the service in case there are problems down the road, but I would think it would be a bank call.

Purely a legal question, but consider what you do when a customer claims that they didn't authorize you to make a transfer, or you charge a fee for the service the customer claims they never asked for.

I'm not an attorney, nor do I play one on the internet, but I'm going to say that you want some way of documenting that your customer authorized the sweep arrangement.

we require a signature or e-signature for any change to products or services, which would include adding or eliminated ODP.

Totally agree with Brian, why open yourself up to a customer claiming they didn't authorize.

Too many frauds have involved a crook (sometimes a family member) getting access to online banking and moving money from savings to checking and then out via a wire or ACH transaction. A signature on a retained authorization is a good CYA move.
