Register For Stinson’s Next Banking Seminar – November 10, 2011
| For the last year, bankers have been agonizing over the many challenges posed by the current economic environment and certain portions of the Dodd-Frank Act that affect community banks. This seminar will highlight aspects of Dodd-Frank and will also identify and analyze hot topics in more traditional areas such as payments and operations, lending and estate planning. It’s a nuts and bolts program aimed at all bankers.
AGENDA 1:15 p.m. Hot Topics in Payments, Deposits and Operations
2:15 p.m. Stay Out of Trouble – Dealing With Your Borrower This session will focus on the legal relationship between the bank and its borrowers and instances in which the nature of that relationship has resulted in liability to the bank. 3:00 p.m. Opportunities and Risks: Payroll Cards and Managing 3rd Party Risks Banks continue to search for new sources of revenue. Could payroll cards or prepaid cards be one of the answers? Of course, with every new product involving 3rd party service providers, the bank experiences risk. This risk must be understood and managed. 3:30 p.m. Break 3:45 p.m. When are Assets Creditor-Proof? The manner in which assets are owned can achieve important estate planning and tax-saving goals while impeding creditors. Legitimate use of tenancy by the entirety designations, “spendthrift” and discretionary trusts and closely-held limited liability entities, along with the making of gifts, provides significant asset protection benefits. Questionable structures and transfers, however, can be challenged. 4:15 p.m. Bank Consolidations and Dodd-Frank Branching Rules This session will (i) focus on current and future bank consolidations and (ii) cover structures, capital, pricing and regulatory hurdles. In addition, the Dodd-Frank interstate branching rules will be discussed. 4:45 p.m. Q&A Session 5:00 p.m. Cocktail Hour |

FDICs Deposit Insurance Fund is Back in the Black
The FDIC recently announced that after seven consecutive quarters of negative balances, the Deposit Insurance Fund is back in the black with a positive balance of $3.9 billion as of June 30, 2011. Further, the FDIC projects that total cost of FDIC-insured bank failures from 2011 through 2015 will be $19 billion, which is appoximately $4 billion less than the total cost of failures during 2010 alone.
FDIC anticipates that the DIF will be approximately 1.15% of estimated insured deposits by 2018. The Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act requires the DIF reserve ratio to reach 1.35% by September 30, 2020.
