Company: WELLS FARGO & COMPANY
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
See CFPB claim number : XXXX & XXXX for details Please have Wells Fargo explain how they are exempt from the What is the Electronic Fund Transfer Act 2023? The Act requires financial institutions to adopt certain practices respecting such matters as transaction accounting, and error resolution, requires financial institutions and others to have certain procedures for preauthorized transfers, and sets liability limits for losses caused by unauthorized transfers.

The questions and answers below pertain to compliance with the Electronic Fund Transfer Act ( EFTA ) and Regulation E.

This is a Compliance Aid issued by the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau. The Bureau published a Policy Statement on Compliance Aids, available here, that explains the Bureaus approach to Compliance Aids.

5. A third party fraudulently induces a consumer into sharing account access information that is used to initiate an EFT from the consumers account. Does the transfer meet Regulation Es definition of an unauthorized EFT?

Yes. As discussed in Electronic Fund Transfers Error Resolution : Unauthorized Fund Transfers Question 1, Regulation E defines an unauthorized EFT as an EFT from a consumers account initiated by a person other than the consumer without actual authority to initiate the transfer and from which the consumer receives no benefit. 12 CFR 1005.2 ( m ). Comment 1005.2 ( m ) -3 explains further that an unauthorized EFT includes a transfer initiated by a person who obtained the access device from the consumer through fraud or robbery. Similarly, when a consumer is fraudulently induced into sharing account access information with a third party, and a third party uses that information to make an EFT from the consumers account, the transfer is an unauthorized EFT under Regulation E.

For example, the Bureau is aware of the following situations where a third party has fraudulently obtained a consumers account access information, and thus, are considered unauthorized EFTs under Regulation E : ( 1 ) a third-party calling the consumer and pretending to be a representative from the consumers financial institution and then tricking the consumer into providing their account login information, texted account confirmation code, debit card number, or other information that could be used to initiate an EFT out of the consumers account, and ( 2 ) a third party using phishing or other methods to gain access to a consumers computer and observe the consumer entering account login information. EFTs stemming from these situations meet the Regulation E definition of unauthorized EFTs.
