The Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act (P.L. 106-102), enacted in 1999, requires financial institutions and a wide variety of other businesses to issue privacy disclosure notices to consumers that detail the institution’s privacy policies if it shares customers’ non-public personal information with affiliates or third parties. The law also requires telling existing and potential customers of their right to opt out of sharing non-public personal information with third parties. Such disclosures must take place when a customer relationship is first established and annually in paper form as long as the relationship continues even if no changes have occurred. This legislation would help eliminate the confusion by exempting institutions whose policies have not changed from this outdated requirement. Read more about Annual Privacy Disclosure Notices in this credit union issue brief. - Conferences

- A Detailed Look Inside NCUA’s New Interest Rate Risk Rule
NCUA’s new interest rate risk rule is effective September 30, 2012 and will impact over 45% of all federally insured credit unions! The rule states, “certain credit unions must create a written policy to address IRR management, as well as an effective IRR program for successful asset liability management”.
Those impacted by the rule include all federally insured credit unions over $50 million in assets and those with less than $10 million in assets are exempt. Credit unions between $10 and $50 million in assets are only subject to the requirements if their first mortgage loans plus investments with maturities over five years equal or exceed 100% of its net worth.
