WEBINAR DETAILS
Financial institutions often provide a Medallion Signature Guarantee without understanding the associated risks and liabilities, potentially exposing itself to significant risk. For example, did you know that when your institution provides the Guarantee, it assumes liability for the authenticity of the signature? Many institutions don’t realize they must comply with and are bound by regulations governing Medallion Guarantees, such as the Securities Transfer Agents Medallion Program (STAMP). This webinar will explain the “ins and outs” of a Medallion Signature Guarantee and provide tools and best practices your institution can use to ensure compliance and protect itself from the various risks and liabilities.
NOTE: This seminar is not sponsored by or affiliated with the STAMP Medallion Program.
WHO SHOULD ATTEND?
This informative session is for any institution that issues or accepts signature guarantees or that participates in the STAMP Medallion Program.
