WEBINAR DETAILS
Financial institutions routinely face lawsuits involving deposit accounts, yet many losses stem not from bad facts, but from avoidable operational and compliance mistakes. Whether responding to garnishments, subpoenas, levies, account ownership disputes, forged checks, unauthorized transactions, or account freezes, seemingly small errors can result in substantial financial losses, regulatory scrutiny, and costly litigation. This practical webinar will examine ten of the most common mistakes financial institutions make in deposit-related litigation and, more importantly, how to avoid them. Participants will learn how courts analyze deposit disputes, where institutions most often get into trouble, and what policies and procedures can reduce legal exposure.
