The ATM fee disclosure requirements of Regulation E are set forth in Section
205.16, 12 C.F.R. 205.16, and took effect October 1, 2001.
-
Section 205.16, requires an ATM operator that charges a fee to post a notice
that a fee will be imposed for providing electronic fund transfer services or
for a balance inquiry and disclose the amount of the fee.
-
Notices must be posted both (1) in a prominent and conspicuous location on or at
the automated teller machine, and (2) on the screen or on paper before the
consumer is committed to paying a fee.
-
An ATM operator may impose a fee on a consumer for initiating an electronic fund
transfer or a balance inquiry only if the consumer is provided these notices and
the consumer elects to continue the transaction or inquiry after receiving such
notices.
-
The FDIC notified FDIC-supervised banks of the amendments to these disclosure
requirements in a Financial Institution Letter (FIL) dated March 23, 2001
