Compliance Hotline Question of the Week:

Question: Does an EFT initiated by a fraudster with stolen credentials meet Reg E’s definition of an unauthorized EFT?

Answer: Yes, Reg E defines an unauthorized EFT as a transfer from a consumer’s account initiated by a person other than the consumer without actual authority to initiate the transfer and from which the consumer receives no benefit. 12 CFR 1005.2(m). When a consumer’s account access information is obtained from a third party through fraudulent means such as computer hacking, and a hacker uses that information to make an EFT from the consumer’s account, the transfer is an unauthorized EFT under Regulation E.
