We’re getting several emails about adding Opt-In forms to Credit Union websites in response to Reg E. At this time, we are asking everyone to sit tight. We suggest you read up on what CU*Answers and our partners, such as Xtend, are preparing in response to Reg E. There is information online in the CU*Answers Kitchen. Additional information is presented in a recorded webinar at Ondemand.cuanswers.com. We are also preparing marketing collateral for your to use in statements, e-statements, e-Info, in your lobby and on your website. In the end, members will be able to opt-in via It’s Me 247 Online Banking. We would expect more information to be announced at Leadership Conference. We know this is a large and pressing concern for Credit Unions. But rest assured, CU*Answers is working on it and will have a solution well within the time frame.
Update: Some marketing collaterals have been published.
Please feel free to contact us with any further questions.
From the CU*Answers Newsstand.

Virtually no one was visiting our site to learn about accounts.

Are you still using IE6? Mozilla’s Firefox 3 was also released this week (more on that later.)
