Say a customer reports their VISA/debit card has been stolen. The card has been used for ATM withdrawals. When we asked where the PIN number was, the customer said it was on the card. The usage was a week to 2 weeks prior to our being notified. The total amount withdrawn is $600. Is the bank responsible for $550, $100, or nothing because of the location of the PIN?

When evaluating restricted vs non-restricted transactions for MMDA accounts, would a transfer between accounts taken over the phone and recorded via handwritten tickets be any different than a transfer taken over the phone and electronically reported as a "Telephone Transfer"? Our previous Compliance Manager told all of our CSRs that a phoned in transfer is not a telephone transfer if you write tickets for the transfer. This sounds like evading the issue to me. What do you think? How would this be different than taking funds from a savings (regular share) account to cover debit card charges in a share draft account (which acts as a checking account)?
