Wait a minute 🤔 I could of sworn I just made a post about fees yesterday *checks todays date* …and another one. Let’s talk about it | Ensuring Fair Practices in Financial Services The recent $64.2 million settlement involving USAA for improper bank fees and interest rates highlights the importance of compliance and ethical practices in financial services. 🔑👇🏼Key Points: 1. SCRA and Military Lending Act Compliance: USAA's failure to adhere to these laws resulted in improper charges for service members. 2. Regulatory Violations: Identified by the U.S. Treasury, leading to significant fines and a cease-and-desist order. 3. Need for Transparency: Misleading communication practices underscore the necessity for clear and honest customer interactions. Implications for Companies and Banks: 1. Strengthen Compliance Programs: Prioritize robust monitoring and auditing to ensure adherence to federal laws. 2. Improve Communication: Ensure transparent and clear messaging to maintain customer trust. 3. Uphold Ethical Practices:Align actions with stated values and commitments to customers. 🔎 Focus for Quarter 4: 1. Enhance Monitoring and Auditing: Implement stronger processes for compliance checks. 2. Training and Awareness: Provide ongoing training on regulatory requirements and ethical practices. 3. Customer-Centric Policies: Reevaluate policies to prioritize clarity and transparency. In an industry built on trust, compliance and transparency are non-negotiable. By committing to ethical practices and clear communication, we protect our organizations and build lasting customer relationships. Let's reinforce our dedication to serving customers with integrity and fairness this quarter. 💪 #DJEMotivates #RiskManagement #Compliance #FinancialServices #ThoughtLeadership #ConsumerProtection https://lnkd.in/g5hgzJbZ

Couldn’t agree more on the good read below👇No matter the size or reputation, without best practices and processes in place there is only so much a life jacket can do to band aid “getting things right” to protect those affected from an all encompassing aspect. In this case, an unraveling of member trust and loyalty over the years due to issues. These eye-opening exposures will continue to make headlines ~ QUESTION IS….Why wait for the slap on the hand, enormous fines, adverse media, and overall reputations damages for changes in operational efficiencies, accuracy, and effectiveness related to your Regulatory Compliance program? The time is now and the urgency remains. #regulatorycompliance, #regtech, #csi

On March 29, 2024, the U.S. Department of the Treasury’s Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (“FinCEN”), issued a “notice and request for information and comment” (“RFI”) seeking comments on the Bank Secrecy Act’s (“BSA”) customer identification program (“CIP”) rule. The CIP rule requires U.S. banks to collect a taxpayer identification number (“TIN”) from a U.S. person before opening a new account for that person. For individuals, this TIN will be a Social Security number (“SSN”). In particular, the RFI seeks comments on the possibility of allowing banks to collect only part of an SSN (e.g., the last four digits) directly from their customers, and then using “reputable third-party sources,” such as credit bureaus, to obtain the full SSN before account opening.
