Reduces from ten business days to five business days the deadline within which a financial institution: (1) must report to a consumer the results of its investigation concerning allegations of error in such consumer's account; and (2) may conditionally recredit a consumer's account for the amount of the alleged error upon receipt of appropriate notification.
Declares that a non-protected access card may only be issued upon consumer request or application, or as a renewal of or substitution for, a non-protected access card.
Requires a financial institution to furnish to the consumer: (1) a printed warning that a card does not require a personalized code or other unique identifier (other than a signature) to initiate access to the consumer's account; (2) an annual summary of error resolution procedures; and (3) its policy regarding restitution of any fees imposed as a result of an unauthorized electronic fund transfer.
