We have two areas on the site that are accessible only to bank employees who have been screened by BOL staff: a private access directory that contains sensitive documents (such as detailed information about spotting fake Treasury checks) and a private discussion forum with the Bankers' Threads message board.

The BOL Threads Private Forum was created as a safe and secure place for bank employees only to exchange common concerns, regulatory complaints and other sensitive information without fear of observation by regulators, examiners, and the public.

All users of the Private Forum are allowed to also access the private access directory. Instructions for getting into the private access directory are found in a post on the Private Forum.

To gain access to the Private Forum you must first be a registered user of Bankers Threads.
To register go to:

http://www.bankersonline.com/forum/ubbthreads.php?ubb=newuser

If you are a registered user of the the Threads, send a request to: cindy@bankersonline.com

from your bank email address, and include your registered user name. Simply say "I'd like access to the private forum." When we've verified your bank employee status, you'll get an email from us giving you access.

"All users of the Private Forum are allowed to also access the private access directory. Instructions for getting into the private access directory are found in a post on the Private Forum."

How do we access the private access directory?

You open the first post (Administrative Trivia) in the private forum and find the instructions there.

Please do not post questions in this forum. It was created to direct people on how to get to the private forums only.
