February 8, 2010 - The Non-Credit Card Provisions of the Fed's Credit CARD Act Final Rule
Presented by Carl Pry
Time is short and the new final amendments to Regulation Z's open end credit rules are voluminous. The old amendments effective 7/1/10 have been rescinded, and combined and refined into the new rules. Significant parts of the new rules implementing provisions of the Credit CARD Act of 2009 carry a February 22, 2010, compliance date, and many of the new rule's provisions affect open end credit other than credit card accounts! So even if you don't issue credit cards, you need to know which provisions affect your institution, and whether you'll need to comply by 2/22/10 or by 7/1/10. Join Carl Pry as he covers only the rules changes that affect non-credit-card open end credit in this critically important two-hour presentation.

February 17, 2010 - Cyber-Education/Awareness for your Customers – Requirements and Recommendations
Presented by Andy Zavoina
Your bank has a website or uses email to contact customers. Having a presence in cyberspace means you have obligations to meet. Regulatory guidance requires financial institutions make and continue to make, efforts to educate their customers about the hazards facing them. This means you have an obligation to protect your customers in cyberspace. Banks are being sued because of their failure to meet this obligation and certainly criticism from regulators is a real possibility during exams.

You must be proactive to make your customers aware of current threats as this is your best defense against fraud and identity theft. Taking reasonable steps to ensure that logon credentials are protected, multifactor authentication is in place and effective and that your customer knows how to identify spam and scams will save you money and preserve your reputation. With more customers opting for internet banking and e-delivery of banking information, their computers and smartphones become your tools for security. You must recognize what your requirements are, and what must be conveyed to your customers to comply with the spirit and intent of these rules.

May 12, 2010 - A_Z of Reg E
Presented by Andy Zavoina
Reg E has changed and as you "sell" debit cards, claims increase. If 67 million Americans have used a debit card for a purchase of less than $5 in the last month, you may well have a claim pending for an insignificant sum. Do you have to investigate claims? Is there a cost effective way to handle small claims? Can you lose money handling small claims the same way you handle large ones? Is there more to Reg. E than claims? Answer "Yes" to all the above.

We'll answer these questions in detail and dispel many of the urban myths that prevail in the world of Reg. E. We will discuss the changes in Reg E that concern you now, we'll review what has to be done to investigate a claim made more than 60 days after the debit or statement, and if you can deny a claim because the customer refuses to file a police report. We'll also dispel the myths that you can require the merchant to resolve the claim first and that family members can't steal money - from your bank.
