Consumer Banking

Consumer Banking is comprised of the financial services, such as checking and savings accounts, mortgages, home equity lines of credit, personal loans, and credit cards, offered by financial institutions. The Check Clearing for the 21st Century Act (Check 21) has fostered innovation and efficiency in the consumer payment by permitting electronic checks. State and federal also laws prevent individuals from engaging in fraudulent or deceptive banking practices, such as bounced checks, and protects consumers from illegal acts, such as ID theft and phishing e-mail fraud. A history of consumer financial data, such as payment history, debt, bankruptcy, and garnishments, is compiled in credit reports by several consumer reporting agencies. Please read on to find a consumer banking attorney, consumer banking lawyer, or learn more about federal banking law.
