ICB Credit: 2.5 CRCM

It's been another busy year for operations compliance. There was political infighting between federal agencies and the beginning and end of a CFPB regulation restricting mandatory arbitration. There were civil money penalties assessed for billing practices related to add-on products and services; several personal civil money penalties for unsafe or unsound practices related to operations; revisions to the Call Report; a proposal to update an overdraft-related disclosure; changes from Federal Reserve Bank Services. Plus, there were some significant BSA/AML penalties imposed; the usual collection of OFAC announcements of sanctions program and SDN List changes; OFAC violations and settlements; guidance from FinCEN; more emphasis on faster payments, including activation of Phase 2 of Same Day ACH; and more geographically targeted orders (GTOs). Early savings bond redemptions were authorized and extended for multiple disaster areas following storms and wildfires. The Government Accountability Office took issue with agencies that regulate with guidance in lieu of using regulations that require proposals and comment periods. The Fed finally issued some changes to Reg CC. And, of course, there was that inconvenient data breach at Equifax. We'll hit all the highlights during this fast review of the year's operations compliance issues, and tell you where to find more information on developments you may have missed during the year.
