Compliance with E-SIGN, E-Statements & E-Disclosures

Thursday, August 11, 2022 
3:00 pm – 4:30 pm Eastern

Many financial institutions have unwittingly established unlawful online banking programs in violation of E-SIGN.  If caught operating a noncompliant program, every e-statement you’ve ever sent could be deemed legally invalid.  Regulatory fines and legal costs could far exceed the potential savings e-statements provide.  Join us to learn more about E-SIGN, e-statement, and e-disclosure compliance, and avoid “e-jeopardy.”

AFTER THIS WEBINAR YOU’LL BE ABLE TO:

• Understand and adhere to federal E-SIGN and state UETA requirements
• Adhere to — and disclose — E-SIGN’s mandatory six-step consent process
• Comply with E-SIGN consumer consent provisions and processes
• Create lawful, clear e-disclosures that can be understood and acted upon by any consumer
• Prove accountholders have demonstrated the technological competence to receive e-statements
• Preserve, protect, and produce e-records of accountholders’ affirmative consent
• Respond to the E-SIGN Modernization Act
• Avoid potentially costly consequences of noncompliance
• Train employees to answer consumer questions about E-SIGN, e-statements, e-disclosures
• Implement best practices, expert advice, and compliance tips immediately
  

WEBINAR DETAILS 

Where does your financial institution stand when it comes to E-SIGN, e-statement, and e-disclosure compliance?  Are you confident your e-statement program adheres to federal and state laws and industry and government regulations?  Do you obey E-SIGN and UETA rules?  Is your enrollment process lawful, or are you signing up accountholders in a noncompliant (illegal) fashion?  Do you allow accountholders to sign up for e-statements in your lobby?  Do your e-disclosures contain the required information, including mandatory technology guidelines?  Could you provide evidence of affirmative consent if your e-statement program triggered a lawsuit or regulatory audit? 

With this insightful program, you will learn how to recognize and avoid common legal and compliance mistakes in e-statement programs.  It will answer the most common and pressing questions about E-SIGN, UETA, e-statements, e-disclosures, affirmative electronic consent, and e-records retention among other important issues.  You’ll learn strategies and gain tools to help ensure your E-SIGN, e-statement, e-disclosure program is well managed and complies with legal, regulatory, and organizational guidelines.  Don’t miss it!
