A deposit account can be opened anytime, right? Not so fast!
Sometimes a financial institution will refuse to open a deposit account because of information obtained from a credit reporting agency or checking account screening company. This fast-paced webinar will describe how to handle such a situation and explain when the FCRA and/or the ECOA come into play.
AFTER THIS WEBINAR YOU’LL BE ABLE TO:
- Determine when an adverse action notice is required if your financial institution refuses to open a new deposit account
- Explain situations when the FCRA and/or the ECOA apply to deposit accounts
- Distinguish between the adverse action notices under the FCRA and under the ECOA
- Know how to exempt your financial institution from sending adverse action notices
- Create a standard notice to use when your financial institution refuses to open a deposit account
WEBINAR DETAILS
Most financial institutions believe that the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA) only applies to “credit.” But it also applies to “deposit” accounts if the institution relied on information from a credit reporting agency or a deposit account screening company such as Certegy, ChexSystems, or CrossCheck. Surprised? Under FCRA, financial institutions are required to send adverse action notices when refusing to open a deposit account based on information from a credit reporting agency or a checking account screening company. Further, although the Equal Credit Opportunity Act (ECOA) only relates to “credit,” it does apply if overdraft protection was related to the account. This webinar will explain adverse action reporting and documentation requirements for deposit accounts under both FCRA and ECOA.
WHO SHOULD ATTEND?
This informative session is designed for deposit operations personnel, compliance staff, managers, attorneys, and anyone who opens deposit accounts.
