I’ve heard that the FFIEC new BCM Handbook doesn’t necessarily address pandemic planning, does that mean we don’t need to have one anymore?

When it is necessary or desirable to perfect security interests in aircraft, engines, propellers or spare parts in the United States a lender must consider a multitude of issues. For many lenders and their counsel the process of recording instruments with the Federal Aviation Administration (the "FAA") and registering aircraft in the United States needlessly remains a mystery. The following is an explanation of the most critical issues a lender must address to ensure that documents submitted to the FAA will be accepted for recording.

I have a customer who was a partial recipient of loan proceeds. He asked that his part be disbursed in several cashier's checks made payable to his son. The son then would come in and cash the checks separately. Some needed a CTR and some not. I'm trying to decide if this warrants the filing of a SAR on either the father, the son or both?

Regarding HMDA, we have two different answers as to what defines a Bridge loan. They are basically the same answers with one exception: if the loan is secured by BOTH dwellings (existing one and one to be purchased); OR if the loan is secured by ONE dwelling (either existing or one to be purchased). As I said, I understand consistency is the key to remaining violation free in this area, but again, I would like to know how the majority views this detail of a Bridge loan.

We currently have an FAA Security Agreement for the plane and the engine, however, the engine listed was destroyed. A new engine needs to be added. Does a new Security agreement need to be prepared or an amendment to the original?

If the same two owners of a CD want to swap the primary role, do we need a new signature card? Do we need written permission from both?

I have a note that references a Security Agreement but there is no Security Agreement attached. Instead there is a UCC that is being use as a Security Agreement. Is this okay, or should there also be a Security Agreement that references the UCC?

We are looking to provide the Board of Directors with an annual report card on our BSA/AML program (with information such as how many CTRs; we filed how many SARs; and how many SARs were investigated and not filed etc.) Are there any templates out there for this type of report to give us a starting point?
