Webinar: Overdraft Risks & Five Best Practices
November 14, 2023 3:00 pm - 4:30 pm
Regulators have shown keen interest in overdraft protection plans (ODPs) lately. Compliance is key to avoiding reputational, compliance, and litigation risks.
But how can you evaluate ODP UDAAP risks? This webinar will closely examine ODPs, which are considered a target for potential UDAAP violations, and provide five best practices to keep your institution on the straight and narrow.
AFTER THIS WEBINAR YOU’LL BE ABLE TO:
- Avoid potential UDAAP (unfair, deceptive, or abusive acts or practices) landmines and identify what is likely to be considered deceptive, unfair, or abusive
- Identify five best practices for overdraft compliance
- Use regulatory guidance to understand the requirements
- Define best practices to avoid potential penalties and consumer harm
- Explain the opt-in/opt-out documentation and procedures
- Evaluate overdraft marketing programs for compliance
WEBINAR DETAILS
Overdraft services are always a likely target for supervisory scrutiny. In addition to more formal guidance, regulatory pronouncements have come through reports, blog posts, complaint discussions, and speeches. Regulators have issued significant civil money penalties for “representment” practices and other “deceptive” practices. In addition, numerous class action suits have been filed against financial institutions for ODP practices. Join us to learn how financial institutions can offer overdraft services while ensuring compliance.
