WEBINAR DETAILS
Notarization remains a critical control point in financial institution operations – supporting loan documentation, real estate transactions, affidavits, powers of attorney, and more. Yet, as institutions expand digital services and remote accountholder interactions, notary practices are rapidly evolving. Remote online notarization, electronic notarization, and state-specific requirements have introduced new compliance obligations and operational risks. Financial institutions must now navigate a complex framework of state notary laws, identity verification standards, recordkeeping requirements, and fraud prevention expectations – all while ensuring consistent practices across branches and digital platforms. This webinar will deliver a practical, compliance-driven roadmap to help you modernize notary practices, mitigate risk, and align with evolving legal requirements.
