GBA to Testify
Monday to U.S. House Subcommittee Meeting in Atlanta |
|
GBA
President and CEO Joe
Brannen will testify on behalf of the state’s banking
industry to a special field hearing Monday in Atlanta of the
Domestic Policy subcommittee of the U.S. House Oversight and
Government Reform Committee. Rep. Dennis Kucinich (D-OH),
chairman of the subcommittee, and Lynn Westmoreland
(R-GA) scheduled the meeting to learn more about banking and
economic issues affecting our state. We also expect U.S. Rep.
David Scott (D-GA) to participate, as well as State Sen.
Vincent Fort (D-District 39). |
|
Joe
was asked to be a part of a panel testifying about bank closures
in Georgia and how the state’s troubled real-estate marketplace
is affecting banks’ ability to provide credit for builders,
developers and other small businesses. Other panelists
testifying during GBA’s portion of the hearing will be two
Atlanta-area developers and a representative of Atlanta-area
community development corporations. Also on tap for discussion
during the hearings will be national regulatory supervision
issues, foreclosure issues and general economic conditions.
We’ll report on the hearings in next week’s e-Bulletin. |

GBA Submits Comments to State Bar
of Georgia about
Garnishments |
|
GBA this week
weighed in on a request by the State Bar of Georgia for
opinions about
whether the answering of certain garnishments by a non-attorney
employee of the garnishee is considered an unlicensed practice
of law. We don't think it is, and we wanted to make sure the members of the Bar understood
that banks get numerous summons of garnishment per year and some
banks report the number to be in the thousands. Based on what
members tell us, the task of searching for an account is solely
administrative and not legal, and is best accomplished through
the operations area of a bank. |
|
A
hearing on the matter is set for Nov. 13, 2009. If you have
comments you’d like to submit for the record related to this
matter, we encourage you to send them to Mr. Michael Brian
Terry, Chair, Unlicensed Practice of Law Standing Committee,
State Bar of Georgia, Suite 100, 104 Marietta Street, N.W.
Atlanta, Georgia 30303. With questions, contact
Elizabeth Chandler, 404.420.2027, or
Joe Brannen, 404.420.2026. |

‘Too-Big-to-Fail’ Resolution
Bill Unveiled in House This Week |
The
anticipated official draft of legislation addressing resolution
of large, systemically important financial firms was
unveiled this week by
the
House Financial Services Committee and the Treasury Department.
A key component of the draft legislation would create a special
Resolution Fund, paid by assessments on financial companies with
more than $10 billion in assets. Costs to resolve a failing firm
would be repaid first from the firm’s assets at the expense of
shareholders and creditors -- and to the extent of any shortfall
-- from assessments paid to the Resolution Fund. Under the
legislation’s resolution process, the Securities and Exchange
Commission, Fed and the appropriate federal regulator would
recommend that a firm be placed into receivership. The Treasury
then would appoint the FDIC to handle the receivership and other
appropriate actions. As we’ve reported, we are generally
supportive of the need for a detailed and specific method for
resolving failures of such large institutions. We remain
concerned about and opposed to the possibility of FDIC being
responsible for resolving non-banks. |
|
It is our view that
added role could divert staff and resources from FDIC's primary
mission to protect insured deposits as well as potentially
undermine public confidence in its ability to serve in that
capacity.
We’re taking a look at the details of this legislation, but here
are a few other things that stand out right now. Of particular
importance is that
the proposed
legislation preserves the thrift charter for those thrifts
dedicated to mortgage lending, but it does subject thrift
holding companies to supervision by the Fed to eliminate
opportunities for regulatory arbitrage.
Also included in the legislation is a measure that would give
the Federal Reserve the power to direct any large financial
holding company to sell or transfer assets, or stop certain
activities if the central bank determined there could be a
“threat to the safety and soundness of such company or to [U.S.]
financial stability.” And a council of regulators would be
established to identify the companies and activities that would
be subject to specific heightened oversight. We’ll keep you
posted as this legislation moves through committee and other
debate. With questions, contact
Joe Brannen, 404.420.2026, or
Elizabeth Chandler, 404.420.2027. |

Overdraft Update: Maloney
Introduces Overdraft Protection Bill |
|
U.S.
Rep. Carolyn Maloney (D-NY) introduced new overdraft
legislation (H.R.
3904) that would require a written opt-in for banks to
enroll customers in overdraft protection programs, limit
overdraft fees to one per month and six per year, and require
fees to be “proportional” to the cost of processing the
overdrafts. |
|
The bill
also would require warning customers if ATM transactions would
result in overdrafts and require institutions to post
transactions “in such a manner that the consumer does not incur
avoidable overdraft coverage fees.” This is a similar bill to
the one we reported about last week (S.
1799) introduced by Sen. Chris Dodd (D-Conn). With
questions, contact
Joe Brannen, 404.420.2026, or
Elizabeth Chandler, 404.420.2027. |

New Regulations Create
Secondary Market Guarantee for SBA 504 Mortgage Loans |
|
The
SBA this week published new regulations it says will create a
secondary market guarantee program to provide greater liquidity
for lenders and expand access to capital for small businesses.
Funded through the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act, the
new program would encourage sales into the secondary market of
the “first mortgage” portion of small business financing made
possible through the SBA’s 504 Certified Development Company
(CDC) program. |
|
“This new program will
stimulate activity in the secondary market, ensuring lenders
have a place to sell first mortgage loans on their books and in
turn have liquidity to make more loans to small businesses,” SBA
Administrator Karen Mills said. “This is another tool in our
Recovery toolbox that will expand access to the capital small
businesses need to drive economic growth and create jobs.”
Please see the
SBA press release for full details. |

Fight Financial Fear with
Facts, Education, Great Service |
|
Here’s
some interesting data if you’re looking for ways to structure
your efforts to help your customers and build loyalty these
days. The
National Foundation for Credit Counseling (NFCC) released
the following
top financial fears as a play on the Halloween season. You
can use the information to better understand your customers and
look for ways to help them address these fears so you can be a
trusted financial partner, rather than "just a bank." After all,
you have expert bankers, products and resources to help
customers with all of these issues.
|
|
-
Fear of opening bills –
The NFCC says people walk into its member agency offices
each month with grocery sacks filled with unopened bills.
-
Fear of having inadequate savings –
The NFCC’s Financial Literacy Survey revealed that one-third
of adults, roughly 72 million people, have no savings at
all.
-
Fear of the holidays –
If you’re already in debt, piling new debt on top of old is
only adding to the problem. Look for ways to help people
save and prepare.
-
Fear of retirement –
Whether the problem is due to lack of preparation, or the
losses associated with the recent Wall Street meltdowns, not
having enough money during retirement years is a scary
situation.

Georgia BankPAC Classic a Huge Success |
Leadership
GBA’s

Hour Country Club in Macon. “We were overwhelmed with the

‘Best Ever’ Marketing Conference Featured Inspiration, Fresh
Ideas, New Techniques |
“The
best
marketing conference ever,” is how one Georgia Bank marketer
described this week’s GBA marketing conference. A strong crowd
of marketing experts gathered in Atlanta to get fresh ideas
about how to attract new business, help their banks evolve and
tap in to new interactive marketing channels. “This was a
forward-looking conference full of new ideas and information
sharing among peers,” said Dick Brooks, First National
Bank in Griffin, who is the outgoing Marketing Committee
chairman. Attendees got a treat by hearing how one Georgia
company, the
Warren Featherbone Company, has stayed in business for
126 years by evolving to survive. The company started by using
turkey quills to make stays used for women’s corsets. That
market went away in 1936 with the advent of less expensive
plastics, so the company had to evolve by finding new products
to make. |
|
Gus
Whalen, CEO of the company, explained how his company
managed to recognize opportunity in crisis to succeed in
manufacturing, agriculture, publishing, philanthropy and
banking. Participants also got an in-depth look at the news and
political forces shaping public perception about banking and
bank products and services, and how that is forcing our
messaging to evolve. The conference concluded with a three-hour
examination of evolving marketing technologies and strategies such as search
engine marketing, social media marketing, mobile banking and
other innovations. Tim Pannell and Amber Farley of
Financial Marketing Solutions led that session, of which
one attendee said, “We could have spent the whole conference on
this!” Special thanks to Dick and the entire
Marketing Committee for such a strong program. |

Save Money with Electronic
Titles |
With many banks
looking for ways to cut costs during this economic downturn,
it’s nice to know there are companies with the foresight to
provide products that can deliver immediate savings. One of the
Georgia Bankers Association’s newest strategic partners,
Decision Dynamics, Inc. (DDI) supplies the Premier
eTitleLien™ Internet-based product for electronic liens and
titles (ELT) management that not only saves you money, but
reduces processing time, prevents fraud, and enhances customer
service.
-
Cut
Costs/Save Time
At a recent Premier eTitleLien™ Users Group meeting,
vehicle loan preparation specialists from various lenders
remarked that electronic titling saves about one half of
their preparation and follow-up time spent on titling
activities. Hard cost savings are realized through reduced
mailing costs and requests for duplicate titles. Actual
savings vary, and a Cost/Benefit Analysis Model is
available upon request, to help you estimate the costs
savings for your bank.
-
Reduce
Fraud
Premier eTitleLien™ has a built-in “Lien Alert” system and other safeguards so
lenders and consumers benefit from the reduction in fraud
inherent in any paper-based process. The risk
of criminals obtaining multiple fraudulent loans on titles
is greatly reduced when titles are recorded and released
electronically.
|
|
-
Enhance
Customer Service
Loan operations personnel will have a complete picture of
your entire vehicle title portfolio. Rather than being
overwhelmed by receipting, sorting, imaging, and filing
paper titles and matching them to loans manually, they can
focus on those that require attention.
Electronic
titling also eliminates the manual effort required to
retrieve titles for release. In
addition, your customers benefit by receiving a clear title
issued by the state upon loan payoff which is delivered much
faster than the manual approach.
-
Customer
Focused
Decision Dynamics, Inc. takes pride in delivering superior
products with superb customer service. DDI is eager to be the electronic liens and titles (ELT)
service provider for all GBA
members.
Let
Premier eTitleLien™ Help Your Bank Save Money. DDI will be
happy to arrange a meeting to discuss electronic titling in more
detail, as well as provide a demonstration of how Premier
eTitleLien™ works. Contact

Banks Gain CRA Credit for Loans or
Investment in the Senior Housing Crime Prevention Foundation |
|
The
Senior Housing Crime Prevention Foundation is a
nonprofit organization based in Memphis that offers banks a
measurable, no-risk, high-yielding avenue for gaining CRA
credit. By making a loan or an investment with a guaranteed
return, banks receive credit for Community Reinvestment Act (CRA)
requirements. The foundation uses the funds to set up
Senior
Crimestopper programs for nursing homes and
senior HUD housing units in the bank’s direct CRA assessment
areas. Banks also may reposition or recycle existing bonds in
their portfolios to capture the same effect, and in doing so
create a new annual CRA credit from bonds in the existing
portfolios.
Banks may
elect to invest or lend funds to the foundation and will qualify
for CRA credits either way. |
|
All
dollars invested in or loaned to the foundation are fully
collateralized with investment-grade bonds, which are selected
with the bank’s input depending on the degree of risk it wants
to take. Banks are guaranteed a return on the coupon value of
the bonds minus moderate basis-points spread to cover the cost
of the Crimestoppers program. For more information, please
contact
Lori Millar at 877.232.0859 or
Levi Crabtree at 404.420.2022. |
