Regulation E & Z — Prepaid Accounts

This Regulation E & Z — Prepaid Accounts online training course explores the prepaid account rules for both Regulation E and Z.

In April 2019, the CFPB finalized rules under Regulation E and Z regarding prepaid accounts and hybrid prepaid accounts. The final rule modified general Regulation E requirements to create tailored provisions governing disclosures, limited liability and error resolution, periodic statements and adds new requirements regarding the posting of account agreements. The final rule also modified Regulation Z in relation to overdraft credit features that may be offered in conjunction with prepaid accounts.

While most of the detailed requirements found in Regulation E and Z are handled by the “issuer” of the prepaid accounts, “sellers” of the accounts, most community banks, need to have a general understanding of the rules and ensure they provide the appropriate and accurate disclosures. This course provides details on the prepaid account rules for both Regulation E and Z.
