WEBSTER BANK SELECTS THE EDCOMM GROUP TO ENHANCE COMPLIANCE TRAINING WITH POLICY AND SYSTEM SIMULATION

Webster Bank has selected The Edcomm Group to enhance Webster’s Focus On Compliance program for its bank-wide training needs.

The program teaches banking compliance using easy-to-understand language in an interactive, self-paced format. Participants learn from their own perspective, with a curriculum customized to their position. Focus on Compliance covers: Bank Secrecy Act (BSA), Anti-Money Laundering (AML), USA PATRIOT Act, OFAC, Privacy, Reg P, Gramm-Leach Bliley Act, Right to Financial Privacy, Sarbanes-Oxley (SOX), Reg CC & Check 21, Reg D, Reg E, Reg Z, Truth in Lending, FCRA, FACT Act, HMDA, CRA, and Bank Bribery, among others. The program also includes a quick reference guide to all banking regulations, as well as a glossary of terms and a library of reference materials.

Edcomm’s Focus on Compliance training program with System Simulation Training (SST) allows students to learn at their own pace in a non-threatening, simulated environment that looks and feels like the real system. By using Edcomm’s award-winning “Observe-Practice-Demonstrate” model, students are able to execute realistic transactions, and learn an assortment of tasks that are fundamental to fulfilling the requirements of today’s banking staff.
