The Record Retention Online product is very user friendly, making it quick and easy to look up the retention lengths of records. I am also very comfortable with the timeframes recommended by the schedule. The guidelines are conservative enough to satisfy legal requirements, but they avoid advocating keeping items forever.

I have subscribed to Record Retention Online since 2004 and am happy to have the resource available. Looking up schedules is at my fingertips with a quick response time and more information than I could find in any one place. I like the ease of use and the quality of the information. The service delivers value at a reasonable price.

I love the online record retention service. The electronic format accurately reflects the information in the record and is accessible by statute, regulation or law. The bank uses the system to remain in compliance with applicable state and federal laws and regulations. This service saves the bank a lot of time and has created efficiencies throughout the bank.

Documents, Originals and Scanned... Many statutes and regulations have very definitive retention periods. The only time an opinion (or best practice) is used is when a record is not defined in the law or the record falls under the "umbrella" of a law. Scanned documents are considered the original once committed to the medium whether a file is open or not. You may destroy the original documents once you are confident that good images are available.
 In my opinion.... "The most amazing thing about bank records and record retention is that even though it is one of the most important areas to the institution it is often last on the list of priorities. That lack of emphasis can prove costly." Carolyn Jones Author & BOL Guru
