Our bank requires that all new employees pass a criminal background history check before hiring: however, we understand that temporary employees are not subjected to the same hiring standards. Is this legal?

Regarding automated telephone banking systems, customers can currently inquire (get account balance and info) by phone with their account number and last four digits of their SSN. If they want to transfer funds between their accounts, they must complete an application. My bank wants to give automatic access to transfers too. I'm concerned about Reg E issuing access device rules. Is calling the number and following the steps, "requesting" the access? We have new operations personnel who say all banks do this automatically. Other banks don't have customers fill out a form or call and talk to someone, it is all done through the automated phone system. Does this comply?

I've been looking for an alternative to our current image technology. My institution is in the same position as many others: the need to upgrade our system and the desire to do better at providing an image of investigative quality, with no money to do it. Are there any new alternatives for our existing cameras? We've already dropped our lobby cameras to six feet and installed height-marker cameras.
