Adverse action reasons
02/05/2017
In regards to the check box options on an adverse action notice, as a commercial lender, I would like to add “Length of time in business is too short” as we do deny credit to many newly established companies (per our credit policy). So my question is this: Can I create my own reason or is there a specific set of reasons that I need to adhere to? Where does ‘length of time in business too short’ or verbiage to that effect fit on an adverse action notice?

What is your view on retention of the physical deposit hold notices to meet Reg CC retention requirements? We recently converted our core system and have the opportunity to electronically record data used to populate deposit hold notices rather than retaining the physical forms.The data will be in the form of a report rather than a customer view of the notice. Parameters are set in the system for hold types, hold days, and makes consideration for multiple hold scenarios such as large deposit hold for amount over $5,000, two day availability for $4,800, and next day for $200.There is also a required field for facts to support reasonable cause holds when confidential information is selected.

Relocating Contents of Safe Deposit Boxes (SCRA)
02/05/2017
We are closing a branch and there are safe deposit boxes that are protected under the SCRA. We're thinking it's okay to drill the boxes and relocate the contents to another safe deposit box at another branch. Would you agree that this is okay to do?
