Attempting to determine whether a debtor listed in a levy matches an institution’s customer as identified by the institution’s records can prove to be quite challenging, even to the very experienced. It does not help that the form of levy will be different depending on whether being served by a sheriff, registered process server or one of the various government agencies.
There is also significant risk of liability in making the wrong decision, either to the customer for wrongfully debiting an account or the levying creditor for failing to turn over the funds.
This Webinar will discuss the necessary steps in processing the different types of levies that are often served on financial institutions. We will also review the various forms and discuss examples to help you better understand how best to deal with any given levy.
The adoption of artificial intelligence (AI) by financial institutions has moved rapidly from the pilot or planning stage to core process systems, such as fraud detection or payments. While these technologies can offer significant benefits, they should be adopted with robust risk management controls to ensure AI is deployed safely and responsibly.
The regulatory expectations and requirements applicable to managing AI risks is still evolving, like the technology itself. However, federally regulated institutions remain obligated to conduct their operations in a safe and sound manner. Therefore, existing principles and frameworks can help guide institutions in this regard, as existing laws still apply to AI. Additionally, over the last year state and federal regulators have issued supervisory guidance that can help institutions identify best practices for identifying and managing risks from AI.
This Webinar will discuss the current legal and regulatory environment surrounding AI and how an institution
can manage these risks.

California’s Unclaimed Property Law requires financial institutions to follow a two-step reporting process for unclaimed property. The Holder Notice Report is due annually by November 1st and includes a complete listing of a holder’s unclaimed property that is currently reportable. The property will not be remitted until the separate Holder Remit Report is filed the following year in June. We will discuss practice tips and reminders from the California State Controller’s Office to ensure your reports are approved and to avoid future interest assessments. The presentation will also outline the timelines for the escheat of deposit accounts, safe deposit box contents and financial institution-issued instruments. We also will address the legal notices required to be provided to customers at account opening and again prior to the reporting process.

Under rules that became effective in 2014, all “loan originators” of consumer-purpose, dwelling-secured, closed-end loans must receive training on state and federal laws applicable to their job duties. This requirement appears as part of the loan originator qualification requirements in Regulation Z Section 1026.36(f). It applies to all residential mortgage loan originators, both employees and third-party mortgage brokers. The training requirements apply to a loan originator regardless of whether he or she meets the definition of a “mortgage loan originator” under the SAFE Act. Under Regulation Z, the term “loan originator” is defined broadly and includes any employee who takes an application for a residential mortgage or offers, arranges, or assists a consumer in obtaining or applying for a dwelling-secured, closed-end loan. The rule is limited to closed-end mortgages; home equity lines of credit are not covered.
This two-hour Webinar will provide training that is relevant to all loan originators and will help fulfill their training requirements under Regulation Z. Under Regulation Z, training must cover both federal and state law that apply to the LO’s job responsibilities and, as such, this Webinar will cover both federal and state law.
