Monthly Connection: Get Answers to Your Questions
The agenda for our January Monthly Connection was packed. Emily provided some updates on the hemp and marijuana front which could potentially impact you in 2026 if you bank these types of customers. She also shared some information and insight into the recent actions in Venezuela and what that could mean for your BSA/AML/CFT Program.
Emily, Jerod and David also fielded around 25 member questions during the hour-long meeting. That had to be a record! One of the topics garnering several questions was flood insurance.
See what they had to say:
We’d love to have you join the Monthly Connection! At each monthly meeting, you will get:
- A summary of recent regulatory developments and other hot topics, a segment on compliance management and also revisit old compliance topics.
- A chance to pre-submit questions to be answered by our compliance experts.
- “Open-mic” time to ask questions and share your experiences.
- A recording for OnDemand viewing to watch at your convenience.
