Reg E Opt-In Communication Options

How are you communicating with your customers that have not yet opted in for Regulation E to choose ATM and everyday debit card coverage for Overdraft Privilege?

When the information is included in the extract file, ODP Manager can determine whether an account has already opted in or has not yet responded with a Reg E election. This allows you to provide specific letter content that tells the appropriate customers that they have an option to authorize Overdraft Privilege for ATM and debit card transactions. The Welcome and Reinstatement letters sent when a limit is assigned or reinstated can include the Consent Form for Overdraft Services and can inform the customer of other options to opt in: online, in person, or by phone.

For your customers that have already opted in for the ATM/everyday debit card coverage, the letters tell them that they already have the benefit of having those transactions covered by ODP.

Once you have assigned a limit do you periodically remind your customers that they have the ability to cover their ATM/everyday debit card transactions using ODP? The ODP Manager software can identify which customers have not opted in and have an OD limit, in addition to other criteria. You can send letters to these customers that explain the Reg E opt-in benefits and opt-in methods and that provide a consent form. This allows you to communicate with these customers on an ongoing basis, not just when the overdraft limit has been assigned.
