Reg E Protection for Business Accounts?

Answered by: 

Question: 
Does a business account have Reg E protection? If not, do we not take the claim and advise the customer they will need to resolve with the company that originated the transaction?
Answer: 

The Electronic Fund Transfer Act and Federal Reserve Board Reg E do not cover transactions in accounts established for business purposes. Whatever protections a business might have relating to electronic fund transfers in its account would be available because they are provided as a matter of contract, not regulation. Within the confines of a bank's agreement or contract with its business customer, the bank may be permitted to require its depositor to take any complaints about an EFT up with the originator of the transaction.
