WHAT?

Chances are that your bank will continue to market products during the ongoing pandemic crisis. It’s more important than ever to have the appropriate controls in place as employees work remotely. Regulator and examiner attention to a bank’s advertising and marketing efforts is on overdrive. What can be said in advertisements? What do you have to say?  Are there “triggering terms” that require additional information?

WHY?

All advertising is subject to a variety of deposit and lending regulation rules. That’s the easy part.  Regulators have also jumped on the “UDAAP” bandwagon to make sure that nothing in the advertising and marketing practices is “unfair, deceptive, or abusive”.  The CFPB has issued multi-million-dollar enforcement actions for UDAAP violations, but even banks supervised by the OCC, Federal Reserve and FDIC must pay attention to the “new normal” of consumer protection. The FDIC added a new section to the Compliance Exam manual called “Evaluating Consumer Harm”.
