The Missouri River continues to rise, as seen in these photos across from the Capitol in Jefferson City. The photos were taken about a week apart. Levees along the river have had a number of breaches and thousands of acres have been flooded. Some experts predict flood levels could reach those of 1993, and the threat of flooding could be with us through the summer. The Office of the Comptroller of the Currency has issued a proclamation allowing national bank offices affected by the flooding to close at their discretion. Offices that do close are expected to reopen as quickly as possible to serve their customers.

And then came the floods…

Jerry W. Janes, Senior Review Examiner with the Jefferson City office of the Missouri Division of Finance has been promoted to chief examiner in the Jefferson City Office effective July 16, 2011. He replaces Jeffrey T. Maassen, who resigned from the Division of Finance effective July 22, 2011. Janes joined the Division of Finance in 1991 as a bank examiner. He served as a field examiner in the Columbia field office until 1998 when he assumed a review examiner position in the Jefferson City Office.

Chairman’s Corner

Chris HarlinChairmanMissouri Bankers Association

How often do you have the opportunity to sit down with your banking regulators in a somewhat relaxed atmo-sphere to discuss the issues

we deal with on a day-to-day basis?

That’s right … it’s not too often.

The MBA is offering you the opportunity to visit with both state and federal regula-tors at this year’s round of Regional Meetings that begin on August 17 and conclude on September 7. Representa-tives of each of the banking regulators will attend all of the meetings to talk about how their agencies are ap-proaching today’s issues and to answer questions from bankers.

Some of the issues we expect to cover include the continuing debate on inter-change as well as the never-ending list of issues raised by Dodd-Frank. Whether you are most interested in deposit insurance, the OCC-OTS merger, mortgage finance

and appraisals, or bank and thrift holding companies, your Regional Meeting will give you the avenue to sit down with the regulators and ask your questions face-to-face. Missouri Commissioner of Finance Rich Weaver and Jerry Janes, chief examiner for the Division of Finance, will split the duties of speak-ing. The FDIC will be rep-resented by James LaPierre, regional director of the Kan-sas City Region; John R. Jil-ovec and Mark. S. Moylan, assistant regional directors in the Kansas City Region. Julie Stackhouse, senior vice president at the Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis, will speak at the Gateway and River Heritage Regions. Scott Smith, assistant vice president at the St. Louis Fed, is speaking at the Mark Twain and Capitol Regions

combined meeting. The Kansas City Fed will be represented at the Ozark Region and the combined meeting for Truman and Pony Express Regions by Kevin Moore, senior vice president.

Four OCC representa-tives will be splitting the duties of speaking at our meetings. Michael Koll will speak in Kansas City; Lesslie Swip will be at the Gateway Region and River Heritage Region; Mary Beth Farrell will be at the com-bined meeting for the Capi-tal and Truman regions; and Karen Swingler will attend the Ozark Region meeting.

A full hour has been set aside in the Regional Meet-ing agenda for the regulator panel, and there is a half hour planned for Q and A. So here’s your chance

to share your thoughts and concerns about how the hundreds of new rules and myriad of new reporting re-quirements are affecting your bank.

We also need your input on some other important is-sues we will discuss such as the 2012 Elections, federal legislation and issues with the State Auditor’s Office.

In a nutshell, this year’s Regional Meetings are im-portant and we want you to attend to help us send the clear message to the regula-tors that we are concerned and are paying attention to the decisions they are mak-ing. Don’t miss this opportu-nity to be heard.

The schedule for the Re-gional Meetings is in the MBA Agenda on Page 12, and additional registration information is on Page 20.

Regulators to take part in Regional Meetings

“No hats, no hoods” policies, where customers are requested to remove hats or hoods while in the lobby, factored into two robberies May 18, resulting in authorities getting good surveillance photos on one robber and causing another robber to take his criminal intentions elsewhere -- ongoing proof of the value of this no-cost anti-robbery tactic. In the first case, a man in his mid-20s entered a Columbus, Ohio, PNC Bank branch with a dark hood pulled up and covering most of his face. Following bank policy, an employee told the man to pull his hood down, and he complied. In spite of being “unmasked,” he proceeded with the robbery, handing the teller a note that said he had a gun which he would shoot if he didn’t get money. He fled with an undisclosed amount of cash, but left behind what the FBI termed good surveillance photos of his unhooded head.

Meanwhile at the Jersey Shore

That same afternoon in Toms River, N.J., 47-year-old Raymond Rush was visiting a branch of The Provident Bank when he was asked by an employee to remove his hat. He did more than that. He left the bank and went across the street to

a Sovereign Bank branch, where he allegedly removed some money that was not his. While he was doing so, employees back at The Provident branch were reporting a suspicious person to police. Toms River police say Rush handed a note to a teller at Sovereign demanding money. Police say the teller complied, handing over less than $600 that was available in her drawer at the time. Rush then left the bank quickly and took off on foot. Rush was arrested without incident at his home the next morning and charged with the robbery. If your financial institution does not have a “no hats, no hoods” policy, maybe these two cases will provide some food for thought.

I always learn something from the various Breakout Sessions at MBA events. Our Convention last month was no exception. Here are a few “nuggets” I picked up:• Between 120-180% of

your profits come from 20% of your clients!

• About 70% of clients generate a loss.

• In some organizations, the top 1% of the client base delivers over 140% of their organizational profit!

• Any type of OD program that the FDIC feels could cause reputational, operational or other financial undue risk can and will be assessed.

• Review all marketing, promotional material pertaining to any OD program to assure it is “clear and meaningful”.

• Review/train all frontline staff to clearly and fully explain how any OD product works.

That was just the tip of the iceberg, but you see my point. Our Convention,

which was once primarily for fun, now has a double focus. Fun and Education.

• 80 percent of consumers currently own a debit card, compared to 78

percent with a credit card and 17 percent with a prepaid card.

• Half of college graduates had four or more credit cards in 2008, up from 32 percent in 2000.

• 36 percent of respondents said they didn’t know the interest rate on the card they used most often.

As I mentioned a couple of issues ago, we are little by little upgrading and changing the entire range of MBA communications products. This is the second of our now monthly issues of The Missouri Banker and we hope you are beginning to see a difference. We want it to

be bigger and contain more stories and more information geared specifically for Missouri bankers.

We’ve also started our twice-weekly electronic Missouri Banker Updates to keep you informed over the weeks when we do not publish our newspaper.

But that’s not all…

We are also working on revamping our website at www.mobankers.com. This is an ongoing project but every week it changes a little and will probably be one of those projects that is always being upgraded or improved. Keep checking in on the website to see what’s new.

By Mike NoblettCompliance ManagerHUD issues revised SCRA disclosure HUD has once again revised the notice that is required to be sent to homeowners in default notifying them of the mort-gage and foreclosure rights of servicemembers and their de-pendents under the Servicemembers Civil Relief Act (SCRA). This notice must be sent to all homeowners in default of a residential mortgage within 45 days of the missed payment, unless the homeowner pays the overdue amount before the expiration of the 45-day period. Since it’s impossible to keep track of every borrower protected under the SCRA, this form should be sent to all homeowners in default.

ABA Washington Update

Frank KeatingPresident and CEOAmerican Bankers [email protected]

I recently had the chance to speak before bankers gathered at ABA’s annual Regulatory Compliance Conference here in Washington. One take-away for me is how very well served your banks are by these dedicated and professional compliance officers. A second take-away is that compliance is an essential function within any bank. There are four legs that support the modern bank business model: management and employees; products and services; marketing; and compliance. Each element supports and is necessary to the others. The serious focus on regulatory is not without reason, considering the extreme swing of the regulatory pendulum that we’ve seen in the aftermath of the financial crisis and the passage of the Dodd-Frank Act. However, when regulations

Pushing the pendulum

get in the way of your bank’s ability to serve your customers and grow your communities, things have clearly gone too far. I’ve heard that frustration expressed by many of you during my visits with you at state bankers associations around the country. You want to do the right thing, but the regulatory environment – the overall burden, the overkill and overzealous examiners – is blocking your path forward. We’ve got to work together to change that. In a perfect world, the banking industry would have an equal partnership with its regulators, who would be more vested in seeing banks succeed than writing them up on items where they’ve failed. The truth is that the regulatory culture has to change. It’s a big challenge, but we have to begin moving towards that goal. How? It starts with being involved. As I told the

bankers at our Regulatory Compliance Conference, it’s important for bank CEOs to listen to their compliance staff members, and learn what is and isn’t working in their institutions. CEOs need to share this information with their state associations and ABA. (You might want to join ABA’s Open

Compliance Committee, which “meets” every other month by regularly scheduled conference call. You can learn more about this committee on aba.com.) This way, when we meet with regulators and lawmakers, we can continue to effectively present the industry’s case by providing

credible, real-world examples and anecdotes. These are things that will be remembered by policy-makers. Ask for your staff members’ input and let us know what you’ve learned. Together, we can begin moving the regulatory pendulum back into equilibrium.

Among the bankers taking part in the Scott Childress Memorial Golf Tournament recently in Kirksville were, from left, Randy Riley, Northeast Missouri State Bank, Kirksville; Keith Tonnies, Town and Country Bank, LaBelle; and Virgil Welker, Bank of Monticello. MBA staff members Craig Overfelt and Jason Bauer also participated in the tournament held in Kirksville.

THANK YOU FOR CARING ABOUT OUR MISSOURI NEIGHBORS

On a Sunday afternoon in May the city of Joplin, Missouri was forever changed. The devastation of the tornado and the suffering of its citizens are almost too difficult to comprehend. Over one hundred fifty lives lost; thousands injured; families shattered; entire neighborhoods literally blown away. To appreciate the power of this storm, the next day a receipt from a Joplin tire store was found on the front porch of a home in north-central Indiana.

WE SALUTE YOU

The Missouri Bankers Association’s new chairman, Chris Harlin, grew up in a community loving, public service minded family in Missouri’s Ozarks. It wasn’t until he left Gainesville to attend Rockhurst University in Kansas City and then Missouri State University in Springfield, that he gave serious consideration to becoming the fourth generation of his family to become a banker. In addition to becoming a fourth generation banker, Chris is also the third generation of his family to be named to MBA’s top elective office. His grandfather, Hugh Tan Harlin, served as the MBA president in 1963 and his father, John Harlin, was president in 1994. Chris is the second banker in the nation to become the third generation of a family to head a state bankers association. While studying communications and marketing at Missouri State University, Chris lined up a job as a waiter in a restaurant that was owned and operated by retired banker Bill

Cantrell. Chris laughs as he remembers a conversation that he had with his boss after a couple of months on the job. “Bill came to me and said, ‘You’re not much of a waiter, Chris. Let’s get you a job at a bank.’” Beginning his career In 1990 a college age Chris Harlin went to work at Boatmens Bank in Springfield, Missouri doing “below entry level” work. He started in the bookkeeping department stuffing statements for the bank’s commercial accounts. During this time he started to seriously consider going into banking and entering into the family business. Chris received his Bachelor of Science degree in marketing and communications from Missouri State University in 1991 and continued to work at Boatmens until the end of that year. Shortly after graduation Chris landed a job at Exchange National Bank in Jefferson City. “I worked in operations, new accounts, as a teller and a floater and worked in all the bank’s branches which gave me

the opportunity to learn the ropes,” Harlin says. After a year at Exchange National Bank, he returned home to Gainesville to join the family business. When Chris returned to the then Bank of Gainesville in February of 1993, he worked as a consumer lender

William Harlin died from blood poisoning at the age of 38, leaving Mary to raise the eight children, ages two to seventeen, alone. All eight of these boys became successful men with three of them choosing to remain in the Missouri Ozarks. Chris’s great-great-uncles, Jim and Tan Harlin, founded the Bank of Gainesville which opened on July 24, 1894 with capital stock of $5,000. At the end of the first day’s business, the bank’s resources totaled $11,663.17. When the Bank of Gainesville was chartered in 1894, it was founded with a sense of community and the desire to take care of the towns and the people in the areas in which the bank does business. In 1908, when Jim and Tan decided to pursue business and banking opportunities in West Plains, they put Chris’s great-grandfather, John C. Harlin (Uncle Johnny), the seventh son of the family, in charge of the Bank of Gainesville.

Banking through the generations ...

Three generations of Harlins attended an MBA Chairman’s Banquet in the 90s. MBA’s newly elected Chris Harlin was with his father, John Harlin who was MBA president in 1994, and his grandfather, Hugh Tan Harlin, who was president in 1963

and handled marketing for the bank. From there he eased into real estate and commercial lending. Chris graduated from the Graduate School of Banking in Madison, Wisconsin in 1998.Expanding the business The Harlin family’s banking operations expanded into Ava in 1995 and in 2003 Chris led the formation of a new holding company which purchased the Bank of Plato and Citizens Bank of Sparta which are now known as Legacy Bank and Trust with new locations in Mountain Grove and Rogersville. Century Bank of the Ozarks has locations in Gainesville, Ava, Theodosia, and Bakersfield. Chris’s ancestors arrived to settle in Ozark County from Kentucky in 1869. His great-great-grandparents, John William and Mary Abigail Harlin moved to Missouri with their eight sons. Unfortunately, John

Abbi Harlin, the older daughter of Chris and Missy Harlin, is the fifth generation of the Harlin family to work at Century Bank of the Ozarks. Abbi, who is about to begin her senior year in high school, works at the bank part time as a teller.


Serving the community Throughout the generations the Harlin family has stepped up to be leaders in their community. The Harlins have served as club officers and festival chairmen. Uncle Johnny was elected to the Missouri General Assembly as both a state representative and a state senator. “Our family has a great sense of community and service and we encourage everyone at the bank to be active in the community,” Harlin says. Chris further states that “the experiences of the former leaders of the bank have helped to mold today’s discussions and decisions as the bank moves forward”. After taking over as president of the bank in 1908, Johnny served in that role until his death in 1955. “You may not know this,” says Harlin, “but there were special powers associated with being a seventh son.” Chris goes on to explain that his great-grandfather was said to have the ability to cure warts. Many times customers would come in to the Bank of Gainesville to do business and ask to have

their warts healed. “A small town banker has many responsibilities,” Harlin chuckles. “One of the changes through the years is that we no longer cure warts.” As the great-grandson of a seventh son, Chris’s healing abilities seem to be a bit weaker than Johnny’s. Legend has it that Chris can cure hiccups but his family has their doubts. Throughout his years with MBA Chris has served on or chaired the Bank Leadership Committee, Convention Committee, and the Agriculture and Rural Affairs Committee. He has also served a two year term as chair of the MBA VEBA Board of Trustees as well as ABA Professional Development Council, the ABA Agriculture and Rural Affairs Committee and MBA Treasurer. Looking forward As he looks forward to his year as MBA Chairman, Chris says he wants to help keep community banking alive and well in Missouri. He would also encourage more banker involvement in the association and encourage the banking industry to unite and speak with one voice especially

when it comes to the legislative and regulatory battles the industry is facing. Harlin says, “I see the challenges with banking as a need for more clarification on regulatory reform, especially with the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau. We need to continue to fight to improve the end result with CFPB and we can’t do that if we are not united.” Chris also believes that the MBA and its members need to continue to work to improve the image of community banking. “Although we weren’t the ones who caused the financial crisis, we are getting a black eye just like the Wall Street banks.”Staying busy Chris and his wife, Missy, have another business in Gainesville that keeps them busy and involved with the community, Old Harlin House. Old Harlin House is the three-story home Uncle Johnny and his wife, Clara built in 1912.

“I was always fascinated by the house and when the owners decided to sell, we formed a family group with my parents, aunt and uncle, and cousins to purchase it,” Chris says. He also states, “We wanted to make the restoration more about the house and make it a place to fill with family treasures. The added benefit is that you can also enjoy a delicious lunch while you are there.” The house is fully restored and is on the National Register of Historic Places. The café serves lunch Monday through Friday from 11-2 and serves homemade sandwiches, salads, soups and desserts. Missy Harlin manages the day to day operations and her brother, Aaron works as the chef. Missy says, “We have a great system. I handle the front end business, Aaron is in charge of all things food-wise, and Chris handles the

marketing. We all stay out of each other’s way.” When Chris and Missy aren’t working at the bank or the restaurant, they enjoy travelling and like any parents, enjoy keeping up with their daughters, Abbi and Faith’s, various interests. Abbi works part-time at the bank as a teller and is a whiz at washing dishes at the restaurant. She is also the drummer in a local rock band and enjoys scuba diving. Faith likes to take any opportunity to be on stage. She has performed in several area theater productions and loves to sing. Faith even joined Arvell and Company on stage at the MBA convention this past June. Faith will be going in to sixth grade this year and Abbi will be a senior in high school with plans to attend the University of Arkansas in the fall of 2012. Chris and Missy are very excited about the year ahead and look forward to the challenges and triumphs that Faith Harlin, Chris and Missy’s 11-year-old daughter, stops by

the bank to visit her dad.

David served in the Army Reserves from 1967 to 1973 and later completed the Graduate School of Banking at LSU in 1976.

His advice to young bankers is to respect your customers and never think you are more important than they are.Robert Plisky Robert Plisky was born and raised in the Hammond, Ind., - Chicago area. Prior to serving in the Pacific Theatre during World War II, Robert was part of the V-2 Military Training Program at Kansas University. Upon completion of his Navy service, Robert earned an engineering degree from the University of Mis-souri. After college, he returned to his wife’s hometown, Kansas City, and began working in the construction business with his father-in-law, James Hoover, who with other investors in 1932 had started the Concor-dia Bank. In December of 1960, Robert was elected to the Board of Directors of Concordia Bank. In 1967, he bought Mr. Hoover’s inter-est in the bank and became chairman of the Board.

State Bank as president and CEO. The bank was sold to Commerce Bank of Wentzville where Bill remained as the Chairman of the Board and CEO until 1985 when the bank changed its name to Commerce Bank of St. Charles. When that occurred, Bill managed the Wentzville Banking Group as the execu-tive vice president. After leaving the bank in 1987, Bill entered into a small business, but he maintained his service to the banking industry by serving as director at several banks. In 2003, he joined the Bank of Old Monroe as a director where he continues to be ac-tive. Bill says his favorite part of banking is the satisfac-tion of being able to help the people of the community strive to improve their lives and to better the community in which they live. Bill says one of the most heartwarming moments of his banking career was hav-ing a successful customer ask him if he remembered making him his first loan when he started his business. Bill says it is satisfying to have customers remind you of your assistance in helping them become successful.


Nine bankers inducted into MBA 50 Year Club

Nine Missouri bankers were inducted into the MBA 50 Year Club at the Associa-tion’s 121st Annual Conven-tion in Branson. Each year MBA recognizes bankers who have reached the 50-year milestone in their careers. Larry Angle Larry Angle began his banking career in July of 1961 at Farmers and Mer-chants Bank in Cape Gi-rardeau where he worked for 25 years. His 50 years in banking include positions with Security bank, Cape County Bank, which became Capital Bank and then Union Planters Bank. In 2003, Larry joined the Bank of Missouri as vice president. For the past three years, he has worked part time and is a collector for the bank. Larry says his philosophy about banking is to help com-munities grow and prosper while safe-guarding the customers’ funds. Mary Bryan Mary Bryan, operations officer with First National Bank of St. Louis in Clay-ton, began her career at First National Bank in St. Louis where she worked for a few months before moving to First National Bank in Clay-ton, now First National Bank of St. Louis. She has been employed there since 1962. Mary says her favorite part of working in banking is helping others understand their money. Her philosophy about banking is this: Every customer is a valued custom-er, regardless of the amount of money in their account. All customers deserve the gold standard.Margaret A. Carter Margaret A. Carter be-gan her banking career in 1961 with State Bank of Poplar Bluff. In May 1970, she began working for First Midwest Bank of Poplar Bluff where she serves today as a vice president and loan officer for consumer, com-mercial and residential real estate loans. Margaret has

worked in many areas of banking during her career and has been a loan officer since 1985. She hopes to continue working for several more years. The one thing in banking Margaret says she would change is for the government to quit thinking they should change documents to help the consumer better understand what they are signing, when they, in fact are merely add-ing much more paperwork and slowing down the loan process.Homer Maassen Homer Maassen graduated from High School in Loose Creek in 1951. He worked at various jobs including farm-ing, construction and Mc-Donnell Aircraft in St. Louis. A Korean War Veteran, he was drafted into the Army in 1954, attended officer train-ing school at Ft. Sill, Okla., and was commissioned in April of 1955. Released from active duty in April 1957 as a First Lieutenant in the U.S. Army Field Artillery, he enrolled at the University of Missouri, Columbia, where he received his degree in business and public admin-istration in June of 1961. He began working with the FDIC as assistant examiner trainee in September of 1961. In 1973, Homer joined Legends Bank, then Linn State Bank, as vice president. He was elected a director and secretary to the Board in 1977, a position he still holds along with the title and duties of senior vice president. Homer has this advice for young bankers: Treat people with respect, act with integ-rity and be mentally prepared for change.David Molitor David Molitor’s banking career began in 1961 when at the age of 24, he started working as a teller with the St. Charles Savings Bank, which later became First State Bank. He left the bank in 1978 to join the Bank of Old Monroe, where he

cashier and cashier. Madge’s philosophy about banking is that it should offer extra personal service to cus-tomers. A bank should work to have a strong commitment to the community. Employ-ees should be a valuable as-set. We should offer a warm, friendly atmosphere to all as we strive to build long-term customers. Her advice to someone just entering the banking profession is to enjoy work-ing with people, be willing to help others with a smile and be on time to work.Pat Thornton Pat Thornton, financial services representative with First Community Bank, Sedalia, began her bank-ing career in 1961 and has worked for three banks dur-ing her years of service. Pat’s philosophy about banking is: Customers don’t understand the banking regulations, so I try to help them understand that sometimes we don’t have control over what we can do to help them. Every customer is important and their money is important to them no matter the level of their wealth.William Vehige Bill Vehige started his banking career with the Wen-tzville State Bank in 1961 as an assistant cashier. In 1965, he was employed by the First National Bank of St. Charles from 1969 to 1982. He was hired again by Wentzville


Slowly, very slowly, Joplin is coming back to life after the devastating EF-5 tornado that tore a three-quarter mile wide and nearly twelve mile long gash through the south side of the city on May 22. State and federal first respond-ers have been on the scene joined by hundreds of insurance claims adjusters, and now a small army of workers trying to remove the mountains of rubble that were once homes and businesses.Banks help with the recovery Several of Joplin’s banks were dam-aged by the storm. Most were able to keep serving their customers through other facilities. Among the first things bankers did, after accounting for their employees, was to gather safe deposit boxes that were in damaged buildings and move them to other facilities. Since the level of destruction was such that some families lost literally every-thing, bankers quickly began community outreach programs to provide assistance. Among things done to help:• Waiver of ATM fees• Waiver of late fees on consumer

loans and credit cards• Expedited replacement of lost debit

and credit cards• Waiver of early withdrawals from

CDs and IRAs• Bankers had learned from other

disasters, such as Hurricane Katrina, that after a disaster, people need cash and information. Banks became a source for both. Toll-free numbers were distributed to help customers solve a variety of problems dealing with their finances.

Ongoing assistance Recovery in Joplin could take years. Bankers will be working with the Small Business Administration, FEMA, SEMA, and other agencies to help provide the financing needed for the rebuilding of Joplin. Legislative study Special committees have been formed by Missouri legislators to study what kind of help is needed and what the state can do. A Special Session of the legisla-ture may result from these studies.Rebuilding Rebecca Dunhan, executive vice presi-dent and sales manager at Arvest Bank says she attended a community meeting last week where officials reported that about 30 percent of the debris has been removed. By this week, she expects that removal is up to about 50 percent. “Joplin is in full recovery mode now,” Dunham said. “Schools are scrambling to make sure the children have a place to attend school.” Dunham and her husband moved to Joplin about four years ago. “I have never seen a community come together like this one. People are working hard and cooperating to make the most of a bad situation.”Planning ahead Dunham said he bank had installed a built-in generator at the main bank in Joplin (which was NOT struck by the storm). The banks’ ATM system for the Joplin Region is operated from that loca-tion. But, because of the generator, all the the bank’s ATM in locations not affected by the storm were fully operational.

Disaster statistics:• 159 people have died.• Over 750 people injured.• 7,828 structures damaged• Of these, 6,953 were destroyed• 4,469 structures were insured (57%)• Damage estimate: $3 billion• 50 looters arrested in first two weeks• 43% of people are under-insured or

have no insurance• 900 cats and dogs unclaimed at local

animal shelters

Devastation in Joplin does not defeat its citizens


Individuals and banks continue to send money to MBA for disaster relief in Joplin. . If you wish to contribute, make your check out to “American Red Cross Disaster Relief Fund” and send it to Peggy Mantle’s attention at the MBA, PO Box 57, Jefferson City, MO 65102. MBA will then forward the money to the Joplin area Red Cross.

1. Have a disaster plan for home and work. They take time to prepare, but can

literally be lifesavers. 2. Have plenty of

batteries, candles, water and other

emergency supplies.3. Cash, especially in

small denominations, is very helpful.

4. Take important papers with you to shelter. You may need them to get back into your neighborhood, and to handle basic insurance and financial transactions after the disaster.

5. Do not stay in a car during a tornado.

6. Even a few minutes warning saves lives. Invest in a NOAA Weather Alert radio.

7. Plan on at least

Lessons learned from the tragedy in Joplintwo days before significant outside help arrives.

8. Volunteers come in droves in the first days, and are often unprepared.

Volunteer help drops dramatically after two weeks.

9. Cell phone service will either die or be overwhelmed by too many users.

The FDIC last week issued a final rule -- mandated by the Dodd-Frank Act -- that will impose requirements on banks’ foreign currency transactions with retail customers that are not cleared by an exchange. The final rule will apply to foreign currency futures, op-tions on futures, and options as these terms are used in the Commodity Exchange Act. It also will apply to transactions that are “functionally or economically similar” to futures and options, such as “rolling spot” trades, the FDIC said, and will cover retail transactions involving individuals with $10 mil-lion or less to invest and certain small businesses. Banks entering into trades the rule covers will be subject to requirements in six areas: disclosure, recordkeeping, capital and margin, reporting, business conduct and documentation. They also will be required, among other things, to submit a detailed business plan, demonstrate board approval of the ac-tivity, and obtain written approval from the FDIC to provide such products. The rule’s effective date is July 15.

CFPB outlines bank supervision approach The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau on July 12 outlined its approach to supervising the 111 large banks with more than $10 billion assets that it will oversee beginning July 21.

The bureau said it will conduct periodic examinations for most of the banks it supervises. But for the largest and most complex banks, the CFPB will implement a year-round supervision program that will be customized

to reflect the consumer protection and fair-lending risk profile of the organization.

Fed publishes small bank exemption lists The Federal Reserve Board on July 12 published lists of institutions that are subject to, and exempt from, the debit card interchange

fee standards in Regulation II, which implements provisions of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act. These lists, available at www.federalreserve.gov/paymentsystems/debitfees.htm, are intended to help payment card networks and others determine which issuers qualify for the

statutory exemption from interchange fee standards. The statute exempts any debit card issuer that, together with its affiliates, has assets of less than $10 billion. The interchange fee standards become effective on October 1, 2011. The Board plans to update the lists annually.

For the fifth year, the MBA launched a photo contest for the 2012 MBA “Scenes of Missouri” calendar. The calendar design has now been finalized and orders are being taken. Twelve photos were selected to be featured for each month of the calendar, and fourteen more photos are used in photo collages for the front cover and the back page

of the calendar. “We have another beautiful calendar this year,” said Carol Barnett, MBA Vice President of Products and Services. “Hundreds of photos were entered by dozens of Missouri bankers, directors, and family members – and we still had some beautiful photos that were submitted in previous

years to choose from. In fact, we are using eight photos in this year’s calendar that were previously submitted, and have photos from 21 different photographers.” The back page photo collage this year features “Missouri blossoms and blooms” – a colorful representation of varied

flowers from around the state. One banker received the $100 cash prize for his “best in show” photograph, voted on by Missouri bankers – Jack Howard from Springfield for his photo of a red fox taking a walk after an ice storm in Lebanon. To see the calendar design and an order form, go to Page 8. Information is also

available on the MBA web site at www.mobankers.com (click on “Scenes of Missouri Calendar” under the Products & Services tab). Calendars may be ordered up until August 31. If you have any questions, contact Carol Barnett at the MBA at 573-636-8151 or via email to [email protected].
