We are opening a new branch and we will be sending out invitations/brochures inviting people to check out our new branch at the grand opening. We aren’t asking anyone to open an account or apply for a loan on the brochure. Is this invitation/brochure considered an advertisement and if so, what disclosures would apply?

How do you get Senior Management to buy into the serious need for business continuity planning, including the need to spend money for adequate back-up materials, filters, etc.? We recently were hit with a computer virus and were without internet for 4 days. We should have a back up method for that!

When granting open-end credit card accounts is it necessary for the bank to call the applicant (if the phone number is provided in the bureau statement) in the event that they have an extended fraud alert on their bureau or can the bank leave a message and accept a return call from the applicant and verify the applicant's bureau contact phone number from the bank's caller ID? Does the bank have to call the bureau contact number of a card holder (with an extended fraud alert on the bureau) who requests a credit line increase or to have an account reactivated and new plastic sent or are these two scenarios exempt from FACTA verification compliance?
