We are pleased to present the December "Most Valuable Guru" award to Jeff Patterson. Jeff has been writing "Tech Talk with Jeff Patterson" for BOL since May of this year. In his weekly briefing, Jeff provides up-to-the-minute information about updates, vulnerabilities, and other security alerts of interest to the thousands of bankers who have signed up for this free resource.
Jeff has spent over 20 years in software development and information systems management -- and it shows! He has a knack for spotlighting an issue just before it breaks into a big story. We love reading his work and we think you will, too. Check out his bio and sign up for Tech Talk and you can look forward to an information-packed briefing arriving in your email each week.
Congratulations, Jeff! Welcome to our list of Most Valuable Gurus. We appreciate your time and dedication to BankersOnline.

Each month we feature one question that has been asked to the Gurus in the new UBtheGuru Forum . Reply to it in the threads. If you see an answer already, but have a better one, post yours. The topic will be open for discussion. Include citations and links when you feel they'll support your reply. We'll have a few Gurus review the responses and select the one we feel is the most accurate and complete. You could win a BOL prize.
Here is this month's question, "What it the time frame a merchant has to post a debit card transaction to a client's account? " Can you help this BOL user?
Last month's winner is GuitarDude, who explained NOW accounts. Bamccull did a great job describing the history of the account as well. But that was after some prompting from Guru John. Still, excellent information.
