Reg E Opt-In Options Presented in ODP Manager
How are you offering your customers the chance to opt in for Regulation E to choose ATM and everyday debit card coverage for Overdraft Privilege? There are four options for a customer to consent: in person, by mail, over the phone, or electronically.
Strunk’s hosted ODP Manager software can help you provide your customers with the information they need to choose to have their ATM and everyday debit card transactions covered by ODP.
When you include the Reg E Opt-in Flag in the extract file, ODP Manager can determine if an account has already opted in or has not yet responded with a Reg E election. This allows financial institutions to provide the Consent Form to Overdraft Services to accounts that have not yet opted in. When a Welcome, Reinstatement, or Followup letter is mailed to these accounts, these letters include the A-9 Consent Form and the information about opting in by contacting you by mail, in person or over the phone, or electronically.
If a customer has already opted in for Reg E coverage, the Welcome and Reinstatement letters will remind them that their Overdraft Privilege service includes coverage of ATM and everyday debit card transactions.
If you would like to use ODP Manager to offer your customers the option to opt in on your website, Strunk can create a Reg E opt-in form that mirrors the content in your ODP Manager letters. When your customer submits the Consent Form electronically, the opt-in consent is tracked in ODP Manager, and a confirmation of the Reg E election is emailed. The ODP Manager software will also provide the Confirmation of Opt-in letter to be mailed.
