Reg E - Interested Included in Customer Liability?

Answered by: 

Question: 
I know that according to Reg E 205.6 (b) if a customer notifies the financial institution within 2 business days, the consumer's liability shall not exceed $50 for unauthorized transfers. My question is that if interest has to be paid back to the customer can this offset and included as part of the $50 customer liability?
Answer: 

The $50 cap applies to the customer's liability for unauthorized EFTs. Determine the amount of the unauthorized EFTs for which the customer is liable, then determine whether any adjustment is required for fees and interest. You should not combine or net your adjustments of fees and charges with or against the adjustment for unauthorized EFTs.
