SB 690 Debit card holds; disclosures.

Introduced by: R. Creigh Deeds | all patrons    ...    notes | add to my profiles

SUMMARY AS INTRODUCED:

Debit card holds; disclosures. Requires a merchant that initiates a hold on a debit card transaction that is more than 25 percent of the actual transaction, or $50, whichever is greater, to disclose at the time and point of the sale that a hold will be placed on the cardholder's debit card account. If the hold is placed on an account due to a transaction occurring at an unmanned remote terminal, then the disclosure is required to be conspicuous at the place where the transaction occurs. In cases where the hold is part of a contractual agreement, the notice is required to be conspicuous on the written document. A violation constitutes a prohibited practice under the Virginia Consumer Protection Act.
