    November is the month we gather with friends and family to give thanks. Express your gratitude for a family member, friend or colleague with an eCard from our Thanksgiving collection.

     Newest Tools
    Insurance Disclosure Rules
    BOL Guru Barbara McGuire of UMB Financial Corporation has provided us with this insurance disclosure requirement tool. This one-page document breaks down the requirements and effects of insurance disclosures under Reg. Z and the Consumer Protection in Sales of Insurance.

    Required Training
    This new tool answers the common question of "what training is really required?" The second tool Barbara provided recently is a breakdown, with regulatory citations, of training that is actually required and not just industry practice. The five areas of true concern are covered in this one-page document.

     Favorite Threads
    With over 456,000 messages, Bankers' Threads has no equal as a spot for bankers to network and exchange information.
