Signature guarantees are not new, but the financial losses and administrative problems associated with them are very real.

Many institutions do not understand the responsibilities and liabilities assumed when guaranteeing a signature. Do you know the differences between the various signature guarantees, including the STAMP Medallion Program? Join us to learn all the details – and avoid the potholes.

AFTER THIS WEBINAR YOU’LL BE ABLE TO:

Distinguish between a notary, a traditional signature guarantee, and a Medallion Guarantee
Understand the liability imposed and how to reduce it
Describe the three warranties your institution makes when it uses the STAMP Medallion Program
Explain the STAMP Medallion Program
Determine whether a signature is genuine and whether the signer has legal capacity

WEBINAR DETAILS

Financial institutions often provide a Medallion Signature Guarantee without understanding the associated risks and liabilities, potentially exposing itself to significant risk. For example, did you know that when your institution provides the Guarantee, it assumes liability for the authenticity of the signature? Many institutions don’t realize they must comply with and are bound by regulations governing Medallion Guarantees, such as the Securities Transfer Agents Medallion Program (STAMP). This webinar will explain the “ins and outs” of a Medallion Signature Guarantee and provide tools and best practices your institution can use to ensure compliance and protect itself from the various risks and liabilities.

NOTE: This seminar is not sponsored by or affiliated with the STAMP Medallion Program.

WHO SHOULD ATTEND?

This informative session is for any institution that issues or accepts signature guarantees or that participates in the STAMP Medallion Program.
