Since MasterCard’s Zero Liability covers ATM withdrawals and PIN transactions. It is even worth investigating Reg E claims since we are always on the hook?

So, we have a customer that continues to have unauthorized charges on their debit card. We believe that someone in her house is doing these charges, but have no proof. Other than revoking her debit card privileges, is there anything else we can do? We cannot deny her disputes just because we believe someone in her house is doing them, right?

Regarding a Beneficial Owner Certification: ABC, LLC (Borrower) is 100% owned by DEF, Inc. DEF, Inc. is 33.33% owned by 3 individuals. Would I need to list the individuals as having 25% or more ownership on the certification, even though they are not owners of ABC, LLC?

During a recent compliance forum I understood the consultant to say that the 7 day notice of withdrawal language needed to be a part of the TISA disclosure – even if it is part of the terms and conditions disclosure. It is not at our bank. I spoke with a bank manager that has a background in compliance but has been out of the deposit compliance loop for several years. He says that as long as it was in our T&C then we should be fine. I can’t get what the consultant said out of my head – can you help? Is there a citation that addresses this in Reg DD or Reg D? Maybe I misunderstood?

For the new Reg D regulation changes for COVID-19 in which withdrawal limits are waived, does the bank have to provide a notice of change within 30 days of the change or not? Is the notification requirement waived if the change is temporary and/or the change is permanent?
