ATTUS Technologies Inc., the trusted compliance advisor to over 4,500 financial institutions and businesses nationwide, now applies its unparalleled regulatory expertise to websites through its Website Comply review service for financial institutions.
Website Comply is a comprehensive review of a financial institution’s compliance with all applicable website-related FFIEC guidelines and other regulatory standards, such as Unfair/Deceptive Acts or Practices (UDAP), privacy requirements under the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act (GLBA), legal and copyright obligations, website-related aspects of specific federal regulations and many more.
Designed and conducted by ATTUS Risk and Information Security Consulting (RISC) Services, Website Comply includes an analysis of the financial institution’s overall website management in addition to the assessment of its compliance with specific regulatory requirements.
One of the main goals of Website Comply is to ensure that the financial institution’s website uses clear, conspicuous and accurate content that consumers can quickly and easily understand, and incorporate when making financial decisions. Another goal is to determine if the appropriate customer notices and required disclosures are triggered when called for by federal regulations.
“Even before the Dodd-Frank Wall Street and Consumer Protection Act became law, examiners were already keenly focused on consumer protection this year,” said Tom Fedell, president and CEO of ATTUS Technologies, Inc. “Dodd-Frank is only going to intensify that focus. As one of the business locations most frequented by consumers, an institution’s website is under significant scrutiny. We wanted to give financial institutions the necessary resources to meet and surpass that scrutiny.”
Each Website Comply review is client customized based on the complexity of the financial institution’s website and the specifics of its web content. Point-by-point analytics by the client’s RISC Services consultant identify any conflicts between the website’s content and federal regulations. It also ensures the web content is designed to accurately reflect the diverse and unique community served by the financial institution.
Website Comply also delivers a proactive mitigation strategy based on all of the review’s findings. “It’s not enough to just identify website-related compliance gaps,” added Fedell. “Financial institutions have so much on their plates right now and need someone to provide straightforward and sensible solutions to rectify those gaps. That’s what ATTUS does with Website Comply.”

CSI's Reputation for Customer Service Attracts Marshall County State Bank
Marshall County State Bank in Varna, Illinois, recently partnered with Computer Services, Inc. (CSI) (OTCQX: CSVI) because of CSI’s reputation in the financial technology industry for unmatched customer service.
“Marshall County State Bank looked at six banking core systems before choosing CSI,” explained Angel Chatterton, Marshall County State Bank President. “We interviewed four banks that are currently CSI customers. All of them spoke very highly of CSI, its products, and the personal service the company provides. All four banks also assured us that our bank would receive ample in-person service from Account Managers to assist us with our needs on an ongoing basis. So far, CSI’s attentiveness has certainly met our expectations.”
In addition to CSI’s highly regarded Account Management plan, Marshall County State Bank also looks forward to taking advantage of products like CSI NuPoint®. “We are really looking forward to using CSI NuPoint to retrieve information that will allow us to mine our customer base so we know more about the products that will be most beneficial to our customers,” continued Chatterton. “We are always looking for ways to improve our customer service, and we believe that CSI’s products and services will allow us to better serve our customers, pursue additional opportunities and expand into new markets. We are looking forward to a long partnership with CSI.”
Like Chatterton, Andy Burkett, CSI Vice President of Sales and Marketing, looks forward to sharing a mutually beneficial partnership with Marshall County State Bank. “CSI is honored to have a loyal customer base that readily recommends our company to prospective customers,” said Burkett. “Our spirit of partnership becomes evident when prospective customers, like Marshall County State Bank, contact our existing customers for a reference on our service. CSI looks forward to adding Marshall County State Bank to its growing list of partners.”
