MINNEAPOLIS--(Business Wire)--
Wolters Kluwer Financial Services announced today NBC Bank of Oklahoma City,
Okla. has selected it to help the bank manage compliance with the Federal
Reserve Board`s upcoming changes to Regulation E (Reg E). The changes, which
take effect July 1 for new accounts and Aug. 15 for existing ones, require
financial institutions to gain approval from consumers before charging overdraft
fees on one-time debit card or ATM transactions. 

NBC Bank has completely outsourced the overdraft fee approval process to Wolters
Kluwer Financial Services through the company`s Reg E Opt-in Manager solution.
The technology system uses the bank`s account-holder information to create cover
letters, opt-in notices, and confirmation of consent notifications. Messages are
securely and electronically delivered, or mailed if necessary, to NBC Bank`s
customers who can opt-in or out. 

Reg E Opt-in Manager also provides a full audit trail of opt-ins and opt-outs
that are captured, scanned, imaged, and sent electronically to NBC Bank to track
compliance with Reg E. And the bank receives regular reports of all opt-ins and
outs. In addition, Wolters Kluwer Financial Services` warranted compliance
documentation helps relieve NBC Bank of any unnecessary risk. 

"Community banks like NBC don`t have the resources to meet the Reg E
requirements in a timely manner," said Shelley Gaidaroff, senior vice president
and chief operating officer for the bank. "We`re not staffed to continually
monitor and track our entire customer base for opt-ins and opt-outs. But by
working with Wolters Kluwer Financial Services, we`re confident the process will
be quicker, more efficient and allow us to streamline the process internally.
We`ll also comply with the regulation while protecting our fee income." 

Gaidaroff added that NBC Bank has trusted Wolters Kluwer Financial Services and
a number of its Bankers Systems brand of compliance solutions for nearly a
quarter of a century, which made turning to the company for help in complying
with the Reg E changes an easy decision.
