WEBINAR DETAILS
The tremendous increase in electronic payment fraud
has caused staggering losses to financial institutions. Your institution’s liability for electronic
payment fraud will vary depending on the type of fraud, how it occurred, and
whether it was a consumer or commercial account.
The varying legalities
are mindboggling. UCC Article 4A permits
financial institutions to shift liability to commercial accountholders in
certain situations, while Regulation E provides much more protection to consumers. The Nacha rules make the originating
depository financial institution (ODFI) ultimately liable for an unauthorized
ACH, but it is difficult to get the ODFI to pay after the return
deadlines. In all situations, however,
the law requires financial institutions to use commercially reasonable security
procedures.
This webinar will explain
which party is liable for the various types of electronic payment fraud and
what can be done to protect your institution from liability in both commercial
and consumer situations.
