Reg Z- VISA Open Loop Card "Replacement"
06/02/2019
The bank has used "replacement" to replace a private label card with a VISA open loop card. Some of the cardholders have not activated their cards, some probably because they threw away the envelope without opening their mail. The bank is considering placing a block on the cards, pending activation from the customer so that the customer can still activate rather than reapply. The other option is to send a letter to activate the account within a stated time, otherwise the account will be closed. The consumer would need to apply again for a card. IMO, the second choice is a better customer experience in the absence of some foundational regulation to assert one position or the other.
Fraud alert and error claim on debit card
06/02/2019
We have a consumer customer that received a fraud alert on his debit card for "Google Roblox" and he confirmed not his. It was hot carded and a new card was given to him. A week later another fraud alert was placed for "Google Supercell". He said ok to that transaction so card was released from warm status. A month later another fraud alert was placed for "Google Roblox" and he said fraud. After, a month he is claiming fraud on over 75 transaction on both Google Roblox and Supercell. Does he have charge back rights for both or just Roblox?

I am seeking your advice regarding an account we are preparing to open for a legal entity which is represented by an individual given power of attorney.

This person has come to open a business account in the company's name. The directors are from India and according to their Articles of Incorporation show the business located locally. Our question is, can an individual who is given power of attorney on behalf of a legal entity open an account for the business?
