2008 Remote Deposit Capture Seminar
Remote deposit capture is the new buzz when it comes to the banking industry and emerging technology. The Check Clearing for the 21st Century Act paved the way for financial institutions to truncate checks not only at the bank of first deposits, but also at the merchant’s place of business.
Remote deposit creates new challenges and risks for financial institutions. A financial institution that offers remote deposit is turning over the back office function of capturing checks and making images of the checks to its customers.
The seminar will provide a blueprint on how to devise a strategy for remote deposit capture. Plan to attend the 2008 Remote Deposit Capture seminar. Choose from two dates and locations: April 23 in Cedar Rapids or April 24 in Des Moines.

Upcoming Webinars
Lending to Self-Employed Web Seminar
March 28 • 1:30 – 3:30 p.m.
Self-employed individuals, small business owners, executives and professionals (“self employed”) are a key market segment for banks of all sizes and markets. Such individuals represent a significant, growth-oriented, profitable target market. It is estimated that as much as 50 percent of a bank’s future growth could come from this segment. However, today’s lending policies, practices and standards are not always effectively applied to these key individuals since the financial information received is less detailed.
This fast-paced seminar will address how to establish credit quality and strength of the self-employed individual. Questions and answers will be the order of the day as Bob Ullom provides practical guidance based on over 20 years bank lending and management experience plus nationwide experience as a banking educator. A complete student handout will enable each participant to return to the job with information needed to immediately improve the quality of your lending to the “self-employed.”

Lending to Service Members Web Seminar
April 3 • 1:30 – 3:30 p.m.
Whether you lend extensively to service members or only have an occasional transaction, these laws impact your lending operations. This webinar assures that your institution is complying with the new JWNDAA provisions and the new DoD regulations.
On Aug. 31, 2007, the Department of Defense (DoD) published its final rule (32 CFR 232) that implements Section 670 of the John Warner National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2007 (JWNDAA). The new regulations were effective Oct. 1, 2007. They require new disclosures and place limits on the terms of certain loans to service members or their families. Many financial institutions mistakenly believe that the new rules do not apply to them. While the new regulations only apply to a narrow band of loan products; most financial institutions occasionally offer a covered product.
