* Reuters is not responsible for the content in this press release.
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.
