Wolters Kluwer Financial Services introduced all three solutions to financial institutions in 2009 to help them address regulatory changes.

""Over the past year, our nation's community banks have withstood an onslaught of new regulatory requirements even though they are common-sense lenders who have always worked in the best interest of their customers,"" said Dan Clancy, SVP of services at ICBA. ""Wolters Kluwer Financial Services has helped community banks respond rapidly to these changes so they are not overburdened and can continue to serve their customers. ICBA is confident that Wolters Kluwer Financial Services will help its community bank members do the same with RESPA and Regulations CC and GG.""
[COLUMN_BREAK] Lisa Fraga, VP and general manager of banking content for Wolters Kluwer Financial Services, added, ""Each solution adds to Wolters Kluwer Financial Services already-strong reputation for helping financial institutions comply with regulatory changes as quickly and painlessly as possible.

Institutions can rest assured that we'll continue to develop solutions to help them rapidly respond to every new compliance obligation that comes their way.""

Wolters Kluwer Financial Services also offers ICBA members access to a broad array of the company's other solutions. These include the ComplianceOne risk-management platform and the company's other lending and deposit software solutions and printed documents.

In addition, the ICBA preferred service provider relationship also includes the company's PCi compliance analytics solutions, which help banks address fair and anti-predatory lending requirements, comply with the Bank Secrecy Act and anti-money laundering regulations, and combat fraud and financial crimes.

ICBA represents nearly 5,000 community banks of all sizes and charter types throughout the United States.
