ABA Releases ATM Risk AssessmentThe ABA’s Bank Security Committee yesterday released a resource to help evaluate the threats and security measures at existing ATMs as well as new installations. The 24-hour accessibility of most ATMs makes them attractive targets for criminals, and the risk assessment can help banks reduce risks to bank customers and to ATMs. The new resource was designed to serve as a customizable template and includes general guidelines and factors for evaluating security measures. The risk assessment can be used in conjunction with ABA’s Bank Security Assessment and Robbery Risk Assessment that are part of the Bank Robbery Deterrence Toolbox. Access the risk assessment. For more information, contact ABA’s Heather Wyson.

Question: If our bank has a SCRA applicable loan and the loan is delinquent but the delinquency is satisfied after the first notice was sent, is there a time period whereby a new notice does not need to be sent if the loan becomes delinquent again (similar to the 180 days’ timeframe allowed by RESPA)? Answer: There is not a similar 180-day provision in the Servicemembers Civil Relief Act (SCRA) rule, so it would need to be sent each time.
