Don't Forget Small Businesses With Your Reg E Communication

While small businesses are not impacted directly by Regulation E, many of the banks at the Atlanta BAI Checking 2.0 Executive Forum where I spoke last week indicated that they will be reaching out to their small business customers to explain the law and the potential impact on their retail business.

Not only do many smaller businesses use consumer checking accounts for their small business transactions (with the potential for debit card rejected transactions), but with the potential for so many customers of small businesses having payments for goods and services rejected after the implementation of Reg E, banks are communicating details around this consumer legislation and options as to how to deal with transactions that are rejected.
