A moderated panel of federal regulators will answer audience questions regarding consumer protection rules and compliance.

Additionally, hear about the latest enforcement actions and the primary issues that the agencies are finding in compliance examinations.

Community banks often cite costs, implementation hurdles and limited core offerings as the largest impediments to adopting new technologies. Today, they don’t have to break the bank to modernize efforts that dramatically increase customer-satisfaction and ramp up lending activities.

At IntraFi, we talk to banks daily about what their customers want, how the latest economic changes are impacting deposit costs and their bottom line, and tactics for building a resilient balance sheet.

A roundtable discussion of the unique issues concerning mutual and thrift institutions, including regulations that recently became effective that could impact these institutions. Various corporate governance and depositor issues concerning mutual and thrift institutions will also be discussed.

The COVID-19 pandemic significantly altered the banking ecosystem to promote safer, virtual options for their employees and clients. To manage the impact of reduced in-person interactions, many financial institutions expanded their use of electronic communication with their clients. These electronic operations are subject to regulatory scrutiny under the Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act (E-Sign Act). Discuss the specific requirements of the E-Sign Act, how to implement a compliant E-Sign program or identify gaps in your current program, and how to maintain compliance in an ever-changing environment.

Over the past two years, the banking industry has been beset with issues related to funding sources as well as growth and quality issues in our lending portfolio. As funding sources become more costly and harder to find, we need to understand how our decisions will impact our bank's assets. Dig into how funding sources influence our credit portfolio decisions, whether being asset sensitive or liability sensitive is the right direction, as well as what areas of lending will best suit your risk tolerance at this time. Plus, discuss how to reinforce your credit culture to maintain the credit risk level desired.

Unidentified risk is unmitigated risk. There are diverse risks embedded in your everyday payment channels and you must understand the types of risk your organization confronts to better protect your bank.

Build a proactive mindset in identifying concerning trends that, if left unaddressed, could lead to a bank loss. A past due payment is not an early warning sign. It’s an indication that you have already missed the opportunity to assist your client.

A breach is an organization’s worst nightmare, but should the worst come to pass, it’s not the end of the world. In fact, it’s time to respond. While your cybersecurity team is working to patch things up, the leadership team needs to stay informed. As a key part of your organization, what do you need to pay attention to during this time? What can you do to help prepare before a breach, and what can you do to help during or after one? Wolf & Company’s experts explain what you need to know about breaches, and how they can best be of service during or following an incident.

Financial institutions rely heavily on third-party relationships to gain efficiency, reduce operational costs, and to meet the evolving technology needs of customers. While third-party relationships are often beneficial, there are risks created by the relationships that need to be identified, assessed, and managed. Discuss the fundamental elements of due diligence and ongoing monitoring based on the Interagency Guidance on Third-Party Relationships issued in June 2023. And learn the importance of SOC reports in achieving monitoring requirements and how to properly digest the information in these reports to avoid common issues identified during audits of third-party risk management programs.

Artificial Intelligence (AI), Machine Learning (ML), and Robotic Process Automation (RPA) are operational and making the fight against financial crime easier and more effective.
