Compliance in the Small Business Context: A Regulatory
Perspective
With increasing expectations from regulatory bodies and lines between
consumers and small businesses continuing to blur, banks must ensure they
are protecting customers with appropriate compliance measures while still
growing revenues. In particular, fair and responsible banking considerations
are increasingly evaluated in the small business space. In this session, we
will discuss how small business banking can succeed in meeting fair lending,
UDAAP, CFPB, Dodd­Frank (1071), and HMDA requirements. Listen as
experts explore these topics and analyze how those in the small business and
fair lending space can adapt to the difficult environment.
