Filling the Gaps in Reg E Communication
4/13/2010 -
Surveys indicate that 30-47% of your overdraft fee income will soon be at risk. Now is the time to begin implementing an Opt-In strategy that will minimize customer service issues and lost fee income for the bank.
Most bank customers are unaware of the upcoming changes to their Overdraft services. As a result, most will lose these services on one-time debit card and ATM transactions because they don’t understand the implications of new Reg E laws ... or won’t bother reading the complex letter mandated by the government.
Core processors and Overdraft Protection providers are offering banks a host of solutions for complying with the federal government’s new Reg E laws, and collecting / managing Opt-In responses. However, these programs do NOT fully address the marketing issues facing banks. BLF’s proactive solutions will help you:
- Minimize fee income loss tied to one-time debit card and ATM overdraft services
- Improve your ability to effectively communicate the advantages of overdraft services on debit card and ATM transactions ... and Opt-In those who value the benefits
- Communicate with business customers regarding the potential liabilities, inconvenience and customer reactions to declined debit card transactions
- Achieve total coordination between the bank’s operations, training and marketing efforts
