Financial institutions' risk for TCPA audits by the FDIC is now a guarantee.
FDIC-backed banks and savings organizations consider examinations and audits a way of life. But in November 2023, the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (the OCC) sent out a bulletin that the annual FDIC audit will now specifically include:
- TCPA compliance
- Quality of the TCPA policies, procedures, & internal controls
- Reassigned Number Database (RND)
- Express written consent collection and revocation
“Risk has increased for financial institutions, because
the likelihood of noncompliance being discovered
has increased."
With this announcement, it is vital for banks who conduct telemarketing, debt collections or any type of automated calling to organize a comprehensive review of their TCPA compliance practices.
