What marketplace changes will have the

biggest impact on community banks in

2015?

Community bankers will see expanded

regulatory rules and enforcement, including

an increased emphasis on fair and responsible

banking practices. Two significant challenges

will be addressing the new TILA-RESPA and

HMDA requirements. The good news is that

bankers will also see opportunities for growth—

commercial and indirect lending are two

promising areas that come to mind.

How is Wolters Kluwer Financial Services

poised to create solutions to meet the

growing needs of community banks?

For more than 60 years, Wolters Kluwer

Financial Services has been a trusted advisor

for community banks, helping them manage

compliance, risk and performance through our

unmatched mix of technology solutions, services

and expertise. It’s why more than 90 percent

of U.S. banks work with us and why we are an

ICBA Preferred Service Provider.

Our team consists of former bank compliance

officers, regulators, attorneys and software

developers who continuously monitor and study

the impact of new regulations like TILA-RESPA

and HMDA. They apply and infuse their deep

insight and expertise into all of our solutions.

For example, our experts have identified more

than 400 regulatory citation changes that

impact banks’ documents, processes, policies

and procedures in order to meet TILA-RESPA

requirements. Our proactive approach helps

ensure that institutions will be in compliance

in advance of the deadline. Ultimately, Wolters

Kluwer Financial Services can help banks make

the right decisions with confidence so they can

focus on growing their businesses safely and

profitably.

SPECIAL ADVERTORIAL SECTION

What new products, services or technologies are your community bank customers most interested in and why?Community bankers want a bank card solution to help retain loyalty and keep cardholders banking in their home town. Offering an instant issuance solution in their bank is a simple, economical, secure way to give customers access to their accounts and bring their credit and debit cards to market quicker. Consumers want services that align with their lifestyle, giving them immediate service, flexibility and convenience.

A new big consumer trend is the “NOW” factor with in-branch issuance. Providing a card immediately keeps customers “on the go” without the delay of traditional card issuance. This provides the cardholder with immediate purchasing power, boosting customer satisfaction, keeping the card top-of-wallet and increasing interchange revenue. What kind of benefits will a bank receive?Banks using this new type of technology have a competitive advantage when they offer instant issuance. It increases profitability, activation, usability and it’s cost effective. CPI’s patented solution, Card@Once®, has a small footprint, is EMV capable, PCI compliant and meets Visa/MasterCard security require-ments.

How can this new technology improve a customer’s experience?As a new customer, opening an account at a bank that has Card@Once® solutions allows me to receive my new, permanent EMV credit/debit card right away and buy a pair of boots in Nashville, all within the same afternoon.
