Event Synopsis:
On October 5, 2016, the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) released the final rule regulating prepaid card accounts. The new rule will extend the protection of Regulation E, which implements the Electronic Fund Transfer Act, to prepaid cards and similar products. It will also expand the scope of Regulation Z, which implements the Truth in Lending Act, to cover overdraft credit features on prepaid accounts. Most provisions of the final rule will take effect on October 1, 2017, though the requirement to submit prepaid account agreements to the CFPB will take effect in October 2018.
The Knowledge Group has assembled a panel of key thought leaders to discuss the CFPB's final prepaid card rule and its practical implications to prepaid card retailers and issuers. They will also offer best practices to ensure compliance with the final rule.
In this LIVE Webcast, the speakers will discuss:
• Scope of the CFPB's Final Prepaid Card Rule
• Definition of "Prepaid Account"
• Disclosure Requirements
• Submission and Posting of Prepaid Account Agreements
• Requirements for Prepaid Accounts with Overdraft and Credit Features
• Prohibition on Compulsory Use
• Dispute Resolution and Consumer Liability
• Practical Implications
• Best Compliance Practices
