How does the periodic statement apply to stored value cards?
03/19/2001
I am not sure if this is the proper category, but I am trying to find some information regarding stored value cards and Reg. E. In particular, how does the periodic statement requirement apply in this instance? Our holding company has elected to provide electronic statements if a customer purchased a card through the internet; however, if the customer purchases a card at POS, then how does the periodic statement requirement apply? Can "periodic" mean monthly?

For legal purposes, are imaged checks equivalent to the original check?
03/19/2001
One question that has come up quite a bit in our bank, and we haven't found an answer, is what happens if we only retain the image copies of our customer's checks and the customer gets audited by the IRS and needs copies of some of them to prove certain payments? Will the image copies be acceptable to the IRS in lieu of the originals? Can you point me to any law, regulation, etc. on this?
Finding A Good ISP

Our Internet Service Provider just went broke, leaving us high and dry. We're gun-shy about choosing a new one because we thought we knew what we were doing the first time. It isn't like this is the kind of service where the vendors have been in business for 20 years, and it's not like we have a whole lot of choices. It's been a bad experience. Any advice?
