Reg E Question About Credit Card Fraud

When a cardholder has a fraud alert on their card and they tell the fraud center that the transactions are NOT fraud, the fraud center reopens the card.

Chamber of Commerce Cash & Prize Giveaway
10/25/2020
Our Chamber of Commerce is hosting a cash & prize giveaway to encourage people to shop local during the holidays. As a member of the Chamber of Commerce, the bank has been asked to pass out tickets as entries to win. Each business has a limited number of tickets. Employees of the bank are not allowed to obtain any tickets from the bank, but can from other businesses participating. My question is, can we offer multiple tickets as incentives for our customers to use other services we offer? Examples would be: 1) A customer comes in to make a deposit= 1 ticket. If they sign up for online banking while here we will offer an additional ticket. 2) A non customer comes in to cash a check= 1 ticket. If they open an account with us we will offer additional tickets. 3) A customer asks about a home loan= 1 ticket. If they qualify, they can earn additional tickets. If they decide to finance with us more tickets.
How to Complete a CTR for Local Diocese
10/18/2020
A question came up during a recent audit in regards to how a CTR would be completed for a local Diocese. This particular Diocese has a few different churches using the same EIN. Our system recognizes large currency transactions that we compare to see if a CTR was completed. My question is, would a CTR be filed on that specific church when deposits of cash are over $10k, or on the Diocese?
