Regulation E, also known as the Electronic Funds Transfer Act, protects consumers in what activity?

• A. Electronic fund transfers, including debit cards, ATMs and automatic withdrawals, with error correction and liability limits.
• B. Lending discrimination protections.
• C. Mortgage disclosure requirements.
• D. Privacy protections for bank records from government requests.

Answer: (A)

Regulation E focuses on electronic fund transfers, guiding how banks handle debit card transactions, ATM withdrawals, and automatic transfers, including how errors are reported and corrected and the liability you may have for unauthorized transfers. It requires clear disclosures, sets the process for investigating and resolving errors, and establishes liability limits for unauthorized transfers when you report promptly.

The other topics described—lending discrimination protections, mortgage disclosure requirements, and privacy protections for bank records from government requests—are governed by different laws and aren’t covered by Regulation E.
