Practical tips

  • For recurring debits from a consumer account, check Regulation E and your processor’s authorization requirements.
  • Section 1005.10 generally requires a signed or similarly authenticated authorization and a copy for the consumer. Variable transfers may require advance notice, subject to the rule’s exceptions.
  • Do not paste full account numbers into notes; use your bank’s secure process.
