Consumer Transaction Account Protection: New Rules for Banks

This act aims to enhance the security of money in bank accounts used for daily transactions. It ensures that deposits in these accounts are treated in a way that may increase their protection, even if the bank uses intermediaries. This allows citizens to feel more secure, knowing their funds for daily expenses are better safeguarded.
Key points
Money in your account used for daily payments (e.g., withdrawals, transfers) is now better protected, even if the bank uses external companies to manage deposits.
The act only applies to individual accounts that are fully insured and actively used for making and receiving payments from third parties.
The goal is to increase stability and trust in the banking system regarding basic personal accounts.
