Event Synopsis:
Social media has become an important game-changing marketing tool for businesses across industries. Banks and financial institutions are no exemption to this growing trend. The social media explosion has compelled banks and financial institutions to interact with their social media savvy clients and would-be customers in ways not previously possible. Recognizing the risks associated with the use of social media as a powerful and effective marketing method, the Federal Financial Institutions of Examination Council (FFIEC) recently issued proposed guidance on social media use by banks, savings associations, credit unions and other non-bank entities supervised by the CFPB and other state regulators. FINRA and the SEC have also issued guidance on regulating how broker-dealers, investment advisers and their personnel use social media for business purposes. All of this guidance is aimed at ensuring that banks and financial institutions’ social media efforts (advertising, promotions and brand awareness) are in compliance with existing federal consumer protection and securities laws, regulations and policies, and rules of self-regulatory organizations, whilst minimizing legal, reputation and operational risks by establishing a robust risk management program.
As banks and financial institutions continuously embrace and rely upon the use of social media to promote their products and services and attract new customers, finance executives, marketing officers and compliance personnel must have a complete understanding of the FFIEC’s, the SEC’s and FINRA’s guidance and its potential impact on their businesses and customer base. In a two-hour Live webcast, a panel of thought leaders and industry experts organized by The Knowledge Group will explore the significant topics surrounding this emerging issue.
