Summary
Overdraft Fee Notification Act - Amends the Electronic Fund Transfer Act to prohibit a financial institution from imposing any fee or charge for consumer overdraft protection unless it notifies the consumer, in a specified manner, of the fee or charge for such protection before the transaction that would result in an overdraft is completed. Requires such notice for all in-person, automated, telephonic, and Internet-based financial transactions.
Requires financial institutions to disclose to the consumer in periodic statements the annual percentage rate of interest which any overdraft protection fee or charge represents.
