Consumer Compliance Reviews

Delivering Support that Mitigates Risk, Services Customers, and Protects Your Reputation

We provide knowledge, experience, and guidance that allow your bank to adhere to consumer protection laws and manage their complexities.

Consumer compliance professionals face a daunting task trying to stay up on the changing consumer compliance landscape and fully understanding the implications that every regulatory change has on your bank.

That's where we come in.

We've spent decades building our expertise in this complex and often conflicting area of compliance. That experience has given us a ringside seat on how banks find themselves in regulatory trouble.

Whatever your challenge, we've likely seen something similar, and we have the expertise to review all applicable federal consumer regulations, from Regulation B to Regulation Z.

Still, we know that each bank is unique.

That’s why we start each engagement by gaining a 360-degree view of your bank operations and culture before conducting any audits, reviews, and testing.

This initial process allows us to understand your unique risk, pinpoint areas of concern, and recommend an appropriate review scope. Our approach helps you mitigate your risk and prepare for your next regulatory exam.

We also enhance your compliance culture by providing sensible recommendations and best practices throughout the process to help you put corrective action in place.

After all, protecting and serving your customers are crucial to building your community's trust, maintaining your reputation, and strengthening your bank.
