Vital Checks and Deposit Issues
Thursday, September 26, 2019 
2:30 pm – 4:30 pm Eastern

Every single day the frontline handles routine matters that can cost your financial institution thousands of dollars if there is an error. For example, your teller may take deposits and fill out deposit slips for customers, but what will happen if the deposit goes into the wrong account and checks are bounced because of the teller’s action? What if an authorized signer on a personal account deposits his check into the account and it is returned? Can a joint owner withdraw funds from an account if he or she never signed the signature card contract? These operational and day to day dealings with your customer may lead your institution into liability without anyone’s knowledge till there is a lawsuit.
