FUTURE OF FINANCE WEBINAR SERIES: Brokered Deposits: Regulatory Changes Creating Problems in Search of a Solution
Description
In collaboration with Winston & Strawn
In this episode of AFC’s Future of Finance Webinar Series, join leaders from Winston & Strawn, Kaufman Rossin, Dataseers, and Thread Bank, for an insightful webinar on brokered deposits. The financial services industry, particularly innovative banks partnered with fintech companies, rejoiced at the finalization of the FDIC’s 2020 rule amending its Brokered Deposits regulations. Many banks and fintech companies expanded their existing partnerships and improved access to banking for historically underserved communities. However, less than five years later, the agency has decided to upend the products and services that were established in response to the 2020 rule by proposing a new, and more limited, regulatory regime. In this session, panelists will delve into the complex relationship between banks and customers and explore the role of deposits from third parties in modern banking, focusing on the critical line of separation that exists between institutions and their clients. Key topics include the reconciliation process including KYC, the role of audit in providing assurance, compliant strategies for risk mitigation, how proposed rulemaking could affect financial services, and how banks can adapt to new regulations while responsibly protecting the interest of themselves and their clients.
