Financial institutions routinely open deposit accounts for consumers and there are well-established rules for providing account disclosures, deposit agreements, and signature cards. However, the legal and compliance issues involved with closing accounts are often more complicated because situations can include accountholder death, suspected fraud or money laundering, disputes between account owners, levy requests, etc. This session will focus on two areas: first, the challenges of closing or changing consumer accounts and second, the specific complexities regarding various deposit account ownership categories.
Attendance certificate provided to self-report CE credits.
