We are a community bank and I want to know if it is legal to even open in the state of WA. I understand it is legal to have these dispensaries in the state of WA, will we be in compliance?

Are board of directors and executive officers exempt from having Overdraft safeguard? What if they are listed in a non-owner relationship in a deposit account?
09/12/2011
During our annual internal audit of Reg. O, we discovered that overdraft fees are being waived for the board of directors. The overdrafts were under $1,000 and the account was not consecutively overdrawn for 5 days or more. At first, we felt that we could defend this by proving that our BOD is in similar circumstances as other depositors that we waive overdraft fees for. Management has decided that proving these "similar circumstances" may not be a risk we want to take with examiners. How should we handle this violation? Should we have the board members that are in violation pay the fees that were waived? Or should we implement training and awareness to ensure this violation does not happen again?

A director (reg o) has a loan. Can the due date be extended each year without board approval with the same interest rate? This loan started in 2007 and each year the due date has been changed for another year. The loan is an unsecured loan for 25,000. Also, this director has another unsecured loan for 5,000 with the same thing happening.

I have a customer who is the sole member of a corporation. He has been told by his attorney and accountant that he can cash a check made payable to the corporation. This is not our bank's practice. Can you direct me to something printable to give to my customer stating guidelines for cashing business checks?
