We have seen an uptick in merchant credits for disputed transactions, and these credits areduplicated in the cardholder's account, (the bank's final credit and a merchant credit). My question is, are banks able to reverse merchant credits after the final credit has been supplied to the cardholder?

My question is related to checking accounts that go into the negative and are facing potential charge off. I am looking to see what the rules and regulations are in regard to sending negative checking accounts (depending on the amount) to a third-party collector. Is this allowed? I cannot find anything anywhere stating that it is allowed.

Cameras are a critical component of ATM and branch security to protect staff, customers, and ATMs.

We have a member that we have called several times to confirm a check for things like a check number differing from what's shown in the MICR line and other things. Each time, he has informed us that his CPA was having issues, and asked us to pay the item. Recently he added a business partner who has reviewed the account and identified the items which were approved, and says they were in fact altered.
The member now wants to make a claim on these checks. Would we be able to deny the claim since he had previously approved them?

Per bank policy, we have always stated that if we cash a check for a customer (it is never deposited into their account) and the check is returned, we cannot offset their account for the returned check. We (the bank) have always thought this was a regulation, but cannot find it anywhere.
Is a bank permitted (or not) to debit the customer's account when a cashed item is returned?

I am just wondering if anyone has a process for when a customer passes away. Is there a care package sent out? Or a letter notifying the other account owners of their options? Or, in the case of a single owner, a letter sent to the last known address with options? I am looking to not have such a detached process. Our customers are like family at the bank I work for.

A previous manager who left our bank previously signed up to receive SSI 4641 requests electronically. We have been getting emails from the service about these requests, but we are trying to find out if we are required to respond. I read that it's legal for the Social Security Administration to request this information, but couldn't find anything stating that banks must comply,especially since i have seen that majority of the types of requests can be fake or won't have customer authorization attached to them. Are we required as a financial institution to comply with these requests?

I have two questions. While I understand that fraud claims cannot be denied for chip-present transactions, I have a scenario where I'm seeking clarification. If a member fills out a fraud claim form indicating that their card was in their possession at all times, but the network data confirms that the chip was present during the fraudulent transaction, can we deny the claim in this instance, considering the card was in their possession during the fraudulent transactions where the card was present?
Additionally, for token transactions, if a member claims fraud on transactions made using a mobile wallet (e.g., Apple Wallet), and I can see multiple other transactions were made on the same token associated with the Apple Wallet, are we able to deny the claim? I was under the impression that a token is unique to a specific device or digital wallet and cannot be used on another device or wallet. Please confirm if this is correct, and whether we would be able to deny a claim based on this scenario.

Are financial institutions required to obtain a customer signature on their dispute forms to be in compliance with Reg E? I know it is definitely helpful but I can't find where it states that it is required for compliance with the regulation.

A customer came to the bank and withdrew $10,000 in cash, and then went to another financial institution's ATM and withdrew $400. Both transactions posted to the customer's account on the same business date. Do we need to file a CTR? If so, please explain why.
