ViClarity Compliance Update

Join ViClarity for a hands-on SARs & CTRs workshop, plus timely compliance insights on year-end preparedness, credit union name changes, NCUA deregulation and AI fraud risks.​

SARs & CTRs: Let's Work Through It!
Webinar: September 23, 2026 | 2 p.m. ET / 1 p.m. CT  
SARs and CTRs are essential to an effective BSA program — but knowing when to file, what to include, and how to get the details right can be challenging. And when reporting errors can lead to examiner criticism, there’s little room for guesswork. So, let’s roll up our sleeves and work through it together.
Join ViClarity Compliance Specialists Farren Home-Lovell and Tyler Draffan for an interactive, scenario-based workshop designed to take BSA reporting out of the textbook and into the real world. Forget the typical “sit back and listen” webinar. You’ll work through realistic scenarios, test your knowledge, compare approaches, and discuss what examiners are looking for. Register here now.

August 2026 - Q&A: End of Year Preparedness
At ViClarity, we’re committed to providing our credit union clients with practical regulatory guidance that can be used to assess and improve their practices. Around this time every year, we have an influx of credit unions reviewing their policies and procedures. This season is usually a slower time for the industry. Considering this and the program changes allowed by the NCUA’s deregulation efforts, we wanted to showcase some examples of the nuances we’re seeing credit unions exploring. We recommend performing this review at or before Q3, allowing ample time to implement changes and be ready for year-end testing. Be sure to contact us through your league’s compliance hotline for any state-specific details! Read the full Q&A here.

It requires thoughtful consideration of regulatory requirements, trademark implications, operational impacts and member communications. Click here for the full story.

U.S. Senate Committee Publishes Report Showing Elderly Populations More Susceptible to AI Fraud
