BSA for Lenders

Over the last few years, lenders have been busier than ever — while still being expected to adhere to Bank Secrecy Act (BSA) requirements and ensure their policies and procedures protect their institutions from fraud. Lenders are on the frontline of identifying suspicious activity and need annual training to stay current on what is fully expected of them.

After This Webinar You’ll Be Able To:

  • Understand your responsibilities under the five pillars of BSA
  • Identify red flags and report potentially suspicious activity
  • Gather required CDD information, including beneficial ownership data
  • Comply with OFAC screening responsibilities
  • Determine how to respond to the latest lending-related BSA “hot buttons”
  • Detail penalties for noncompliance

Webinar Details

Lenders are often the first line of defense in identifying and reporting suspicious activity. Still, the transaction types and methods for originating a new loan are often very different from the types of transactions and account opening methods used for deposit accounts. Therefore, it’s crucial that lending staff receive tailored initial and annual training on BSA/AML requirements and fully understand what is expected during their day-to-day duties. This session will detail BSA/AML rule components, including red flags for mortgage and commercial loan fraud, CIP documentation, CDD rules (including documenting beneficial ownership), OFAC screening, CTR completion, and much more!

Who Should Attend?

This informative session is designed for deposit operations personnel, loan operations staff, electronic banking staff, BSA/AML officers, and internal auditors.

Take-Away Toolkit

  • Sample beneficial ownership form and calculator
  • Sample due diligence form
  • Sample suspicious incident report
  • Employee training log
  • Interactive quiz
  • PDF of slides and speaker’s contact info for follow-up questions
  • Attendance certificate provided to self-report CE credits

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.

Commercial Lending Basics: Risks, Scrutiny, Safeguards, Collateral, & More

Each commercial loan is unique. Who are the parties to the loan and who is authorized or required to sign which documents? What about security interests on different types of collateral, like marketable securities, deposit accounts, life insurance policies, equipment and inventory, contracts or receivables, leases, etc.? Attend this illuminating webinar to get your commercial lending skills on solid ground.

AFTER THIS WEBINAR YOU’LL BE ABLE TO:

  • Identify parties to the loan
  • Use your loan policy to “drive” when offering, underwriting, and monitoring a loan
  • Understand loan agreement covenants – beyond boilerplate language

  • Review title insurance policies and identify notable endorsements and exceptions
  • Detail subordination agreements, when to get them, what is being subordinated (repayment priority, lien position), and when to ask for subordination of loans to shareholders
  • Document commercial construction loans, realizing that a general liability policy does not cover a subcontractor’s faulty workmanship
  • Understand compliance requirements and commercial lending hot spots

WEBINAR DETAILS
Commercial loans don’t always follow a “normal” pattern. Each one is unique. These loans carry the most risk and technical requirements and therefore receive enhanced scrutiny from examiners. This program will provide a better understanding of protections and safeguards that need to be put in place when drafting a loan. It will review the documentation for a commercial loan, including collateral security documents. You’ll learn underwriting best practices and how to avoid hazards. This must-attend webinar is for new commercial lenders or current lenders and operations staff seeking to build a strong foundation in commercial loan documentation and compliance.

Stress Testing Your Loan Portfolio

Every institution has its own risk appetite, which should directly inform its loan portfolio stress testing methodology.

Using stress factors that don’t align with your risk appetite can result in a flawed assessment of your loan portfolio risk. This jam-packed program will explain how to best find realistic, useful scenarios, and much more.

After This Webinar You’ll Be Able To:

  • Identify the uses and limitations of stress testing
  • Know how to stress test both the portfolio and individual borrowers
  • Construct realistic risk scenarios for assessing each segment of your loan portfolio
  • Properly analyze your stress test results and know what to include in your stress test analysis
  • Better understand how the concepts of stress testing your loan portfolio can be applied to other aspects of your organization
  • Realize how stress testing is a key component of your organization’s capital planning
  • Understand the regulatory expectations in today’s environment

Webinar Details

Stress testing gained traction after the Great Recession. Its purpose is to help risk managers better understand how a loan portfolio could react under varying degrees of stress and appropriately adjust an institution’s risk appetite. Much of the loan portfolio-based stress testing is focused on CRE loans. This webinar will cover owner- and non-owner-occupied CRE, as well as agricultural, C&I, and consumer loan portfolios.

Each portfolio can be impacted by different types of stresses, which can be analyzed using appropriate stress testing scenarios. Once results of the analyses are determined, the next step is understanding how to use the data to appropriately adjust your underwriting and management of higher risk portfolios to lessen the impact on your organization when the next economic downturn occurs.

You’ll learn how to apply the data to analyze the entire spectrum of risk in your loan portfolio, from individual borrowers to entire segments, and even your loan portfolio as a whole, to help you understand the impact on capital as part of your overall capital adequacy testing and capital planning process. Many of these concepts can be adapted to other parts of your organization. Finally, regulatory expectations based on recent guidance and exams will be covered.

Who Should Attend?
This informative session is designed for CFOs, chief risk officers, chief credit/lending officers, credit analysts, and anyone involved in capital planning, loan portfolio risk management, and stress testing CRE, C&I, and ag borrowers.

Take-Away Toolkit

  • Checklist of items to consider when determining your stress scenarios
  • List of resources for stress testing, including where to find the data needed to construct your stress scenarios
  • Employee training log
  • Interactive quiz
  • PDF of slides and speaker’s contact info for follow-up questions

New Policy Statement on CRE Accommodations & Workouts

Are you aware of the new interagency policy statement that affects CRE workouts? Join collections consultant and compliance attorney David Reed as he explores the new guidance, provides an overview of the negative factors impacting CRE, and offers real-time solutions and best practices to reduce risk and maintain the health and vitality of your commercial loan portfolio. The time to assess risk and develop a proactive commercial solution is now!

After This Webinar You’ll Be Able to:

  • Understand the primary factors feeding the commercial real estate (CRE) storm
  • Create a commercial lending collections process
  • Evaluate commercial loans to determine basic risk components
  • Use recent guidance to tighten up commercial lending workouts
  • Modify CRE collections and workout policies
  • Control the risk better with commercial real estate defaults

Webinar Details
Regulators recently issued a policy statement to update previous commercial lending guidance, reinforce the message that financial institutions should work prudently and constructively with creditworthy commercial borrowers experiencing financial difficulties, and clarify that such a message applies in all stages of the economic cycle. While the guidance applies to all commercial loans, there is little doubt that commercial real estate loans are the central element of their focus.

Although commercial lending is a great way to be more involved in your community, you should pay attention to the clouds on the horizon. Many urban centers are experiencing greater than 20% commercial vacancy rates and the growing utilization of the hybrid work environment continues to keep workers out of traditional offices. Add to that increasing interest rates and almost $1.5 trillion in commercial loans coming due by 2025 and you have the makings of a crisis! Are your CRE values dropping? Is commercial insurance taking a bigger bite out of the bottom line? Have the rents commanded by premier commercial space plummeted? Join this program to gain expert insight.

WHO SHOULD ATTEND?
This informative session is designed for executives, board members, CFOs, lending managers, commercial lending staff, collections managers, collections staff, and anyone interested in their commercial real estate portfolio.

ECOA & Fair Lending: Examiner Hot Buttons

Are you confident about your next fair lending exam? Do you know what to do if you get a “false positive”? What is the difference between discrimination and disparate impact? This webinar will provide expert legal advice and let you know what to expect from examiners.

AFTER THIS WEBINAR YOU’LL BE ABLE TO:

  • Understand what examiners mean by equal credit and fair lending
  • Explain the fair lending laws and requirements
  • Determine when obtaining a spouse’s signature on loan documents is/is not permitted
  • Distinguish between discrimination and disparate impact
  • Prepare for your next fair lending exam with confidence

WEBINAR DETAILS
The Equal Credit Opportunity Act, which is implemented by Regulation B, is the primary rule of law that prohibits lenders from discriminating against a consumer based on race, color, religion, sex, marital status, age, or the receipt of public assistance. For many years, regulators and the courts have permitted the use of disparate impact analysis to prove discrimination, which means that your institution can be found liable for discrimination even if there was no intent to discriminate. Many institutions have reported that regulators are using statistical analysis and unpublished analytical formulas in their fair lending exams, some of which have resulted in “false positive” findings of disparate treatment. This webinar will help you prepare for your next fair lending exam and suggest ways to defend against disparate impact and discrimination claims.

WHO SHOULD ATTEND?
This informative session is useful for any personnel involved in the consumer credit process, including loan operations staff, loan officers, underwriting personnel, compliance staff, auditors, attorneys, and managers.

How to Build a Robust Security Training Program – Free Webinar

In this course, we’ll discuss the key elements in building a comprehensive and effective security awareness program, and help you start to understand what it means to build a security-first culture.

Security awareness training helps organizations prepare to defend against today’s most threatening cyberattacks. But if training — often viewed as the last line of defense — is truly impactful, then why do we still have so many breaches? One reason is because of the frequency with which these attacks are occurring. Social engineering and phishing attacks are on the rise.

Another reason is that not all security awareness programs are created equal. While leveraging a “one-size-fits-all” solution can work for maintaining compliance, is it really preparing your employees to take the right action when a phishing attempt sneaks into their inbox? With most people forgetting the majority of infrequent and insufficient training, how can security and risk management leaders ensure their security awareness program sticks?

What You’ll Learn

  • Adult Learning & Content Strategy
  • Security Awareness Topics
  • Phishing Simulations
  • Program Support

Who Should Attend
Everyone is welcome to this webinar as everyone should have a plan in place for security. Security Awareness Training is quickly becoming a mandatory part of everyone’s lives and we want to help keep everyone safe from online attacks.
