The FACT Act requirements are rolling into place. You know that things don't always go smoothly so you need to roll with the punches. The big question is: what will the punches be and will you be ready? It's time to take stock of where you and the regulators stand on the FACT Act. This is also a good time to start looking at the whole picture instead of working piece by piece.

Looking at the FACT Act piece by piece can be daunting. It can also actually prevent you from developing effective practices for compliance. In this BOL program, we approach the FACT act by process rather than by specific requirements. Each process, whether reviewing credit reports for underwriting or sending notifications of various types to customers, should have FACT Act compliance integrated into it.

The program is organized to provide you with:
  • A quick review of what is required
  • A risk analysis to set priorities
  • A review of making the FACT Act work by process and department
  • Making the FACT Act work with other regulations
  • A look at what is next
We'll walk through the notifications processes - all of them - and flag where responsibilities sit. Then there are information protection procedures. And, of course, protecting customers from identity theft by providing information and fast responses.

Some requirements carry high risk while others are low risk. Some have customer service opportunities and others are simply something we have to do. In the program, we'll risk rate these elements to help you with your priority list.

Next, we'll look for some efficiencies, such as how to make the FACT Act work with instead of against or in addition to other regulations. For example, there are ways to combine the customer identification requirements with CIP. And there are ways to use FACT Act disclosures and information to support your CRA fair lending program.

Finally, we'll look at the rules that have not yet been written - like risk-based pricing disclosures and protecting medical information - and share a few tips on what you should be doing to prepare for them.
