Course Summary:
Overdrafts are certainly a topic we've heard a lot about lately. Are they outlawed? (Hint: No). Should we consider eliminating them? (Hint: No, but be careful). Even though there is no regulation on them per se, we do see some institutions eliminating overdraft fees (and NSF fee as well) entirely. It is important to understand exactly what is at issue and how to manage your program.
Course Details:
Are overdrafts something every institution should consider? Not necessarily, but in this session, we'll discuss the various types of overdraft programs out there, as well as the many statements and guidance from regulatory agencies over the past few years.
We'll also talk about risk management, particularly around consumer protection and UDAP/UDAAP. We'll discuss some best practices to ensure your program is doing exactly what you expect it to be doing, and how to handle the many risks that come with this timely topic.
