Nondeposit products and services represent a growing segment of financial institution operations. Most of these nondeposit products are not free from rules and regulations. An article listing state and national bank products and services and the applicable laws governing such activities appears at the beginning of this section. The balance of the remaining articles contained in this section of the NBA Compliance Handbook, cover issues regarding the handling of Signature Guarantees, the federal regulatory guidelines on consumer protections for sales of insurance, national bank sales of insurance and annuities, the federal Interagency Statement on Retail Sales of Nondeposit Products, electronic signatures, records and contracts, electronic tax payments and safe deposit box laws and ownership rights.
