Do-Not-Call (TCPA) Policy
This Do-Not-Call Policy addresses national Do-Not-Call registry and Telephone Consumer Protection Act (TCPA) compliance of a bank, credit union, fintech company, or other type of financial institution. In general, Federal Communications Commission (FCC) regulations prohibit all commercial telemarketers from calling any phone number on the registry without being subject to financial penalties. For those numbers not on the registry, the regulations set a maximum rate on the number of abandoned calls and require telemarketers to transmit caller ID information. The regulations also modify the FCC’s unsolicited facsimile advertising requirements, which in turn were modified by the Junk Fax Prevention Act.
