Our on-staff experts are always ready to help.
The regulatory requirements for financial institutions stay in a constant state of change, and there’s always a chance that something in the non-stop flow of new provisions and guidance letters might apply to our products and customers. That’s why we have staff whose only job is to keep up with the applicable rules – and help our subscribers do the same.
As QwickRate adds new services and offerings, we continue to expand the regulatory expertise we share. In prior years, we focused mainly on non-brokered funding and investing. We now shed light on other matters ranging from credit stress testing to estimation of CECL losses to cybersecurity for community institutions.
Regulatory answers on the nationwide CD market.
Read more about the Director of our Regulatory and Compliance department.
Debbie joined QwickRate in 1988 during a time of regulatory restructuring that was prompted by upheavals in the banking industry. As new rules and requirements were discussed and enacted, Debbie communicated closely with the regulatory agencies about how the changes would impact financial institutions and their activity in the national CD marketplace. She has continued and expanded these activities ever since. Debbie meets periodically with regulatory agencies and conducts conferences with various state and national field examiners. In addition, she participates in Webinars and conferences held by QwickRate, banking and regulatory agencies, and financial institution associations across the country. However, her number one priority is to personally offer answers and guidance to QwickRate subscribers who need help with regulatory matters pertaining to the nationwide non-brokered CD market. Debbie holds a Bachelor of Business Administration in finance degree from Kennesaw State University.
