Inactive Financial Institution Letters |

FIL-137-98
|
||||||||||
On May 13, 1998, the Federal Financial Institutions Examination Council (FFIEC)
issued guidance requiring all FDIC-insured financial institutions to establish Year
2000 customer awareness programs (see FIL-52-98). This guidance requires insured
institutions to make an effort to inform their customers of the Year 2000 issue and
the steps they are taking to minimize the risk that customers may be affected by
Year 2000-related computer problems. As part of the FDIC's efforts to help educate
consumers about the Year 2000, the agency in June sent all insured institutions an
FDIC brochure, The Year 2000 Date Change, together with camera-ready art that
institutions may use to reproduce the brochure for their customers (see FIL-67-98).
Now, the FDIC has published two new products that insured institutions may wish to
use in their customer awareness programs:
Due to the substantial demand anticipated for both publications, the
FDIC is providing all FDIC-insured institutions with the attached
camera-ready versions that they may use to produce their own
supplies. More details, including procedures for obtaining or
printing extra copies, follow in this letter. One copy of the Fall
1998 FDIC Consumer News also is enclosed.
FDIC Consumer News -- The Year 2000, Your Bank and
You
The attached camera-ready copy of the newsletter has been
specially designed for use by institutions. In particular,
this version does not carry a publication date so that
institutions can easily use it in educational campaigns
throughout 1999. Also, the back page was intentionally left
blank so that an institution could add its name, logo, a
special message to customers and/or self-mailing
information. FDIC Consumer News or related articles may be
reprinted without advance permission. Institutions cannot
alter articles by, for example, adding or deleting a
sentence or paragraph in a reprinted version. Please credit
material used to "FDIC Consumer News, a publication of
the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation."
FDIC Statement Stuffer
The statement stuffer may be reprinted
without modification and in its entirety
without permission from the FDIC. An
institution may add its name, logo, and
contact information only. If the text of the
document will be modified in any way, except
to include the institution's identifying
information, the FDIC logo may not be used,
and no attribution to the FDIC is permitted.
In addition, an institution may translate
the statement stuffer into another language
without advance approval from the FDIC but
copies should be sent to the FDIC's Year
2000 Project Manager, 550 17th Street, NW,
MB-5092, Washington, DC 20429.
