Regulation E Option to Opt In Online
Strunk’s ODP Manager recommended custom letter templates include copies of the Consent Form for Overdraft Service. This allows consumers that have not already opted in the opportunity to opt in to authorize and pay overdrafts for ATM and everyday debit card transactions. Customers should have the option to opt in or opt out of Reg E by phone, by mail, or in person. If available, consumers should also be able to opt in to Reg E electronically.
If a financial institution’s online banking does not already offer customers the ability to choose to opt in or opt out, the hosted ODP Manager software can provide an electronic option. An online form will be created that matches the content in the ODP Manager letter templates. Once created, the form will be linked on the institution’s website. Customers can electronically complete the form to consent to opt in to or opt out of the ATM and everyday debit card coverage. After submitting the form, both the customer and a designated institution email address will receive a confirmation of the request.
After the request is submitted, ODP Manager users will regularly review new requests tracked in ODP Manager. The list of requests can be exported so that the accounts can be updated appropriately in the core system. The hosted software is able to identify new responses that have not yet been downloaded. Once downloaded, the software still retains the prior responses within the ODP Manager software.
If you have any questions about setting up online Reg E Opt-In and Reg E Opt-Out forms in hosted ODP Manager, please contact Strunk Support at support@strunkaccess.com for more details.
