Avoiding Check Fraud Liability - September 19th
Check fraud losses are estimated to exceed $18 billion each year. With more and more altered and counterfeit checks flooding financial institutions, this number is sure to increase.
Unfortunately, many financial institutions fail to teach front-line staff the fundamentals of avoiding check fraud. Further, when a loss does occur, some institutions don't understand how the law allocates the loss. If you're confused about what your financial institution can do to prevent losses, as well as what your legal responsibility might be in various check fraud situations, this seminar is for you. This session will focus on the best practices that can be employed rather than looking at any particular state’s laws.
Audience: Tellers, Teller Supervisors, Customer Service Representatives, New Accounts Personnel, Branch Managers, Security Officers, Fraud Investigators, Fraud Examiners, and Attorneys.
Digital Banking Issues - Compliance Requirements - September 25th
What challenges exist to remote business interactions? For starters, there are Bank Secrecy Act issues when opening accounts and maintaining relationships with customers who are never seen. The rise in electronic transactions means increased attention to Regulation E compliance, for example, especially when it comes to handling disputes (which are expected to increase in number). The provisions of the E-SIGN Act must be followed to the letter as well. In lending, there is now the capability to originate a loan from application to closing without ever meeting the borrower (and this includes notarization).
Audience: customer service representatives, loan officers, compliance professionals, auditors, legal staff, management.
