SECTION 1005.36—Transfers Scheduled before the Date of Transfer

(a) Timing.
(1) For a one-time transfer scheduled five or more business days before the date of transfer or for the first in a series of preauthorized remittance transfers, the remittance transfer provider must:
(i) Provide either the pre-payment disclosure described in section 1005.31(b)(1) and the receipt described in section 1005.31(b)(2) or the combined disclosure described in section 1005.31(b)(3), in accordance with the timing requirements set forth in section 1005.31(e); and
(ii) If any of the disclosures provided pursuant to paragraph (a)(1)(i) of this section contain estimates as permitted by section 1005.32(b)(2), mail or deliver to the sender an additional receipt meeting the requirements described in section 1005.31(b)(2) no later than one business day after the date of the transfer. If the transfer involves the transfer of funds from the sender’s account held by the provider, the receipt required by this paragraph may be provided on or with the next periodic statement for that account, or within 30 days after the date of the transfer if a periodic statement is not provided.
(2) For each subsequent preauthorized remittance transfer:
(i) If any of the information on the most recent receipt provided pursuant to paragraph (a)(1)(i) of this section, or by this paragraph (a)(2)(i), other than the temporal disclosures required by section 1005.31(b)(2)(ii) and (b)(2)(vii), is no longer accurate with respect to a subsequent preauthorized remittance transfer for reasons other than as permitted by section 1005.32, then the remittance transfer provider must provide an updated receipt meeting the requirements described in section 1005.31(b)(2) to the sender. The provider must mail or deliver this receipt to the sender within a reasonable time prior to the scheduled date of the next subsequent preauthorized remittance transfer. Such receipt must clearly and conspicuously indicate that it contains updated disclosures.
(ii) Unless a receipt was provided in accordance with paragraph (a)(2)(i) of this section that contained no estimates pursuant to section 1005.32, the remittance transfer provider must mail or deliver to the sender a receipt meeting the requirements described in section 1005.31(b)(2) no later than one business day after the date of the transfer. If the remittance transfer involves the transfer of funds from the sender’s account held by the provider, the receipt required by this paragraph may be provided on or with the next periodic statement for that account, or within 30 days after the date of the transfer if a periodic statement is not provided.
(iii) A remittance transfer provider must provide the disclosures required by paragraph (d) of this section in accordance with the timing requirements of that section.
(b) Accuracy.
(1) For a one-time transfer scheduled five or more business days in advance or for the first in a series of preauthorized remittance transfers, disclosures provided pursuant to paragraph (a)(1)(i) of this section must comply with section 1005.31(f) by being accurate when a sender makes payment except to the extent estimates are permitted by section 1005.32.
(2) For each subsequent preauthorized remittance transfer, the most recent receipt provided pursuant to paragraph (a)(1)(i) or (a)(2)(i) of this section must be accurate as of when such transfer is made, except:
(i) The temporal elements required by section 1005.31(b)(2)(ii) and (b)(2)(vii) must be accurate only if the transfer is the first transfer to occur after the disclosure was provided; and
(ii) To the extent estimates are permitted by section 1005.32.
(3) Disclosures provided pursuant to paragraph (a)(1)(ii) or (a)(2)(ii) of this section must be accurate as of when the remittance transfer to which it pertains is made, except to the extent estimates are permitted by section 1005.32(a) or (b)(1), (4), or (5).
(c) Cancellation. For any remittance transfer scheduled by the sender at least three business days before the date of the transfer, a remittance transfer provider shall comply with any oral or written request to cancel the remittance transfer from the sender if the request to cancel:
(1) Enables the provider to identify the sender’s name and address or telephone number and the particular transfer to be cancelled; and
(2) Is received by the provider at least three business days before the scheduled date of the remittance transfer.
(d) Additional requirements for subsequent preauthorized remittance transfers.
(1) Disclosure requirement.
(i) For any subsequent transfer in a series of preauthorized remittance transfers, the remittance transfer provider must disclose to the sender:
(A) The date the provider will make the subsequent transfer, using the term “Future Transfer Date,” or a substantially similar term;
(B) A statement about the rights of the sender regarding cancellation as described in section 1005.31(b)(2)(iv); and
(C) The name, telephone number(s), and Web site of the remittance transfer provider.
(ii) If the future date or dates of transfer are described as occurring in regular periodic intervals, e.g., the 15th of every month, rather than as a specific calendar date or dates, the remittance transfer provider must disclose any future date or dates of transfer that do not conform to the described interval.
(2) Notice requirements.
(i) Except as described in paragraph (d)(2)(ii) of this section, the disclosures required by paragraph (d)(1) of this section must be received by the sender no more than 12 months, and no less than five business days prior to the date of any subsequent transfer to which it pertains. The disclosures required by paragraph (d)(1) of this section may be provided in a separate disclosure or may be provided on one or more disclosures required by this subpart related to the same series of preauthorized transfers, so long as the consumer receives the required information for each subsequent preauthorized remittance transfer in accordance with the timing requirements of this paragraph (d)(2)(i).
(ii) For any subsequent preauthorized remittance transfer for which the date of transfer is four or fewer business days after the date payment is made for that transfer, the information required by paragraph (d)(1) of this section must be provided on or with the receipt described in section 1005.31(b)(2), or disclosed as permitted by section 1005.31(a)(3) or (a)(5), for the initial transfer in that series in accordance with paragraph (a)(1)(i) of this section.
(3) Specific format requirement. The information required by paragraph (d)(1)(i)(A) of this section generally must be disclosed in close proximity to the other information required by paragraph (d)(1)(i)(B) of this section.
(4) Accuracy. Any disclosure required by paragraph (d)(1) of this section must be accurate as of the date the preauthorized remittance transfer to which it pertains is made.
