How do your policies stack up against the standard of the industry?
That's a question you should be asking constantly. You can't write a policy and then file it away as a 'finished' task. Policies need attention. Laws change, your business practices expand, your competitors adjust. Do these events impact your policies? You bet they do! What happens when you get sued? Can you point to a set of policies that will compare favorably with what is required? Failing to do so can be costly. Litigation often hinges on the policies in place. Yours had better be right.

What should you do?
You can always create a policy from scratch. Ideally, you need to find someone (or a group of people) who understand your business practices, compliance issues, and strategic goals, who can, combined with all the legal and regulatory issues, create a policy that accomplishes what you need while staying in compliance. That's a daunting task even if there's just one policy issue to be addressed. When you realize that you need to have dozens (or even hundreds) of policies in place, the job of creating them can become overwhelming.

There is a solution.
In the Banker Store, we have hundreds of policies, procedures and job descriptions available to give you the head start you need. They are written by banking experts with decades of experience, vetted by attorneys for compliance, and organized so that you can customize them to fit the needs of your institution. You're looking to match the standard of the industry. These policies SET the standard. They're also able to be adapted so that you can personalize them to the special needs and issues you face.
