​

What Exactly is the Electronic Fund Transfer Act?

The Electronic Fund Transfer Act (EFTA), enacted in 1978, is a vital federal law that protects consumers like you who are involved in electronic money transactions. This includes activities such as direct deposits, debit card transactions, ATM uses, and online bill payments. The EFTA establishes critical legal protections regarding the rights, obligations, and liabilities of entities involved in electronic transfers.

​

Why is the EFTA Crucial for You?

In today’s digital world, the security of your electronic financial transactions is more important than ever. The EFTA ensures your protection against unauthorized access, errors in transactions, and other potential digital banking issues. It compels financial institutions to adhere to strict standards including immediate action on unauthorized transactions and limits on consumer liability.

​

Key Protections Under the EFTA

  • Unauthorized Transactions: The EFTA significantly limits your liability for unauthorized electronic fund transfers if you report them promptly to your bank.

  • Error Resolution: Your bank is required to follow specific protocols to investigate and rectify any errors you report concerning electronic fund transfers.

  • Documentation Requirements: The EFTA mandates that you receive detailed documentation of all electronic transfers, such as transaction receipts and periodic account statements.

  • Rights on Preauthorized Payments: You have the explicit right under the EFTA to halt any preauthorized electronic funds transfers.

​

Navigating these protections can be daunting, and disputes regarding electronic transfers are intricate. With Attorney Adams' expertise in consumer protection law and the EFTA, he is well equipped to advocate for your rights.

  2. Statutory Damages: Under the EFTA, you may be entitled to damages ranging from $100 to $1,000, set by statute for violations, in addition to actual damages.

  3. Treble Damages: For severe violations, the court may triple the amount of actual damages, serving both as punishment to the offender and as a deterrent against future violations.

  4. Legal Fees and Court Costs: The EFTA allows for recovery of legal fees and court costs, which means pursuing a case will not impose a financial burden on you.
