According to the Act, “targeted solicitation” will be defined as any written or oral advertisement for a product or service that (i) is addressed to the consumer’s personal account; (ii) contains specific account information (iii) is offered by a supplier that is not sponsored by or affiliated with the financial institution managing a consumer’s personal account; and (iv) is not authorized by the financial institution managing the consumer’s personal account. The Act will go into effect on May 1.
