Question 6 • FL-2102371-Personal Finance and Money Management

Read the scenario.A bank doesn't tell a customer promptly about an unauthorized electronic fund transfer, causing a big loss from the customer's account.What is likely to happen to the bank because of this, according to the regulations?

Answer
A
Apologizing to the customer will let the bank off the hook.
B
The lost money is added back to the customer's account automatically.
C
The customer has to pay for the whole unauthorized transaction.
D
The bank might get in trouble with the law for not following the Electronic Fund Transfer Act.

Explanation

The Electronic Fund Transfer Act requires banks to follow rules for handling unauthorized electronic transfers, including investigating and notifying customers appropriately. If a bank fails to follow those requirements and the customer suffers a loss, the bank may face legal consequences. An apology alone does not remove that responsibility, and the loss is not automatically restored in every case.
