Question:

Is it a requirement (Reg or Legal) to keep hard copies of Signature Cards with wet signatures?

Answer:

There is no specific requirement - but this is a conversation to have with your legal counsel.

Richard Insley:

A better question would be: "What's the risk of NOT keeping hard copies of signature cards with wet signatures?" As Randy advises, the bank's attorney can tell you what evidence the courts will require in order to rule in the bank's favor when there's litigation.
