Z (regulation)
Regulation Z is a 1969 addition to the U.S. Truth in Lending Act (TILA) that spelled out many of the obligations of credit card issuers toward consumers. Under Regulation Z, credit card issuers are required to disclose the terms and conditions to potential and existing cardholders at the point of account opening and at regular intervals.
