Being able to catch a consumer’s eye – and retain their attention – with your institution’s latest offer is difficult enough.  Now, add the complex and detailed regulatory requirements related to promoting new offers, bonuses and contests – not to mention the always-present UDAAP risks.  As regulators continue to focus closely on the specific offers and overall message provided to consumers, institutions must ensure their advertisements and promotions meet the specific regulatory requirements and also clearly and transparently explain the steps a consumer must take to qualify for the offer.
 
This webinar is designed to provide marketing, compliance, and audit teams the ability to analyze and assess compliance risks related to their marketing campaigns.  By understanding this risk in advance, you will be prepared to ensure your disclosures are upfront, clear, and transparent to consumers.
