Who Writes the Bankers' Hotline?
These banking experts, and others we're not permitted to mention, share expertise, experience, and advice with our readers. We also go frequently to the government agencies to get answers, opinions, or to learn what's new and what's coming at us next. We'll do whatever it takes to bring you correct and timely information with every issue in the effort to help you do your job, stay in compliance, and save you valuable hours.
Executive Editor
Barbara Hurst. Barbara is a veteran with over 30 years in the banking industry, where she has headed up a department in charge of Security, Loss Prevention, Claims and Bank Secrecy Act compliance. She's "been there-done that", just the same as Hotline readers. In 1986, she started her own corporation presenting workshops, seminars and speeches, and writing articles and manuals on bank security, compliance and operations. She's presented programs to over 400,000 bankers. She started writing the Bankers' Hotline in 1990 in response to the need for better communication in financial institutions.
