Clarity

I'm in the midst of a road trip this week in the service of the Dark Side of The Force, but before I "go dark" until next week, I'd like to give my "props" to the two NAFCU compliance officers who've taken over postings at the NAFCU Compliance Blog from Anthony Demangone (who was kicked upstairs to the COO's job). Last week, Sarah Loats Zimmerman had a useful clarification about the upcoming changes to the FCRA Adverse Action model forms. As Sarah points out, Dodd-Frank mandated a change to the FCRA form, not the Regulation B form, but since many lenders combine the notices where appropriate, the FRB issued a proposed combined model form. The effective date for the new form is July 21, 2011, so a final form should be issued shortly. If your bank has been confused about this issue, Sarah's post should help clear up that confusion. On Friday, Steve Van Beek wrote his second post of the week (and revised an earlier post) regarding the second notice that must be given regarding noninterest-bearing transaction accounts. While Steve discusses some other notices that are required in regulations that apply to credit unions, the discussion should be useful to banks and other financial institutions, which have similar regulations. It's another fine instance of compliance officers clarifying less-than-clear regulations inflicted upon financioal institutions by lawyers. For that, you have to give both Steve and Sarah a hat tip.
