WEBINAR DETAILS
Notarization remains a critical control point in
financial institution operations – supporting loan documentation, real estate
transactions, affidavits, powers of attorney, and more. Yet, as institutions
expand digital services and remote accountholder interactions, notary practices
are rapidly evolving. Remote online notarization, electronic notarization, and
state-specific requirements have introduced new compliance obligations and
operational risks. Financial institutions must now navigate a complex framework
of state notary laws, identity verification standards, recordkeeping
requirements, and fraud prevention expectations – all while ensuring consistent
practices across branches and digital platforms. This webinar will deliver a
practical, compliance-driven roadmap to help you modernize notary practices,
mitigate risk, and align with evolving legal requirements.
