Virtual currency continues to emerge as a regulatory hot button in spite of limited regulatory framework.
Regardless of market volatility and the potential for losing investments in mismanaged exchanges, convertible virtual currency (CVC) is still a hot investment opportunity for many. As more and more financial institutions decide where virtual currency and its related technology fits into their risk profile, their customer base are already buying and selling CVC. It is important to know the pros and cons of each convertible currency and identity red flag behaviors which warrant additional due diligence.

Your member-facing staff can make or break your compliance program, as they are often the first (and sometimes the only) employees a member sees. They need to know a little about a lot. And that’s what this session provides. We’ll focus on how frontline staff can engage members and sell products without violating consumer protection laws – what you can and cannot say or ask, what disclosures must be made, and specific timeframes that must be met to preserve the rights of both member and credit union. And we’ll talk about why the rules exist, because when you need to know a little about a lot, it helps to understand the reasoning.

While FinCEN provided additional guidance to provide banking services to hemp-related businesses, there have been no updates relating to banking marijuana-related entities since 2014. This session will do a deep dive into the risk considerations for banking all risk levels of marijuana customers from growers to dispensaries to employees of those entities and will point out considerations senior management and board members should keep in mind if deciding to bank a marijuana-related business (MRB). As the number of states with some form of legalized cannabis product grows, the need to align your policy and procedures with your board’s appetite for risk grows. We will provide an overview of a risk-based cannabis program and demonstrate how to align risk with current regulatory guidance.

More and more credit unions are moving toward online account opening. Whether your credit union is new to electronic banking or has been doing it for years, are you confident that you are fully in compliance? What policies and procedures should you and your credit union have in place to minimize compliance and fraud risk when you open new member accounts online?
Your Bank Secrecy Act compliance risk escalates when a new member comes to your credit union through the Internet instead of in person. There are also regulations like Truth-in-Savings and Privacy that require disclosures at account opening that need to be considered. This session is designed to give you the guidelines that should be included in your policies and procedures to control your risk without sacrificing new member convenience.

RELEASE DATE: JULY 15, 2024ESTIMATED DURATION: 60 MINUTES Risk assessments are an essential element of overall risk management along
Risk assessments are an essential element of overall risk management along with providing the basis for many of your policies, plans, and programs like your information security program, audit program, and business continuity plan. The basis for the risk assessment mandated by GLBA in 2000 was initially thought to be oriented to IT, thus the requirement for an IT Risk Assessment after all it is the IT examiners that are evaluating it. However, today the focus has shifted to an enterprise-wide information security risk assessment that encompasses the entire organization where IT is a key component. Needless to say the change in nomenclature and focus has created some confusion and the fact that the regulators do not prescribe to any specific format, only content, many organizations are finding their assessment being criticized during their exams and audits. A properly structured enterprise-wide information security risk assessment will not only help you focus your resources and budget dollars where they are needed, but also provide the basis for your information security program and audit program. The right approach will also get you off to a running start on your business continuity risk assessment as well.
This presentation will provide an approach for developing an enterprise-wide information security risk assessment and a framework that can be adapted to the other numerous risk assessments now required.
If you have asked these questions, then this session is for you:

In this program you will learn about the need to create a “Culture of Compliance” from the top down, understand the need for proper designation of a qualified compliance officer, and the importance of providing adequate resources.
This webinar was created for all credit union volunteers: Board, Credit Committee, Supervisory Committee; Credit union support staff who do not handle member transactions may also benefit from the information presented here.

If you thought the Bank Secrecy Act was limited to cash transactions, this webinar provides all the information you need to fulfill your BSA and OFAC duties as a loan professional.

RELEASE DATE: AUGUST 5, 2024ESTIMATED DURATION: 60 MINUTES Determining a capital target for a credit union is an important
Determining a capital target for a credit union is an important and complicated process. The capital evaluation process includes regulatory requirements which establish minimum capital requirements designed to ensure public confidence in the banking system. Beyond that, the responsibly for a credit union’s capital planning and analysis process rests with the credit union’s board of directors and senior management. So it is helpful to ask, what level of capital your credit union would choose absent capital regulation. This session is designed to provide information on how capital adequacy can be determined and enhance your ability to discuss capital adequacy and capital planning with the regulator.
