Rolling With the Dodd-Frank Rollback
by Patrick Sanders

With the Dodd-Frank load lightened, expect small and regional banks to provide more loans in their communities-helping not only the banks' bottom lines but also the communities that they serve.

"I expect the banks in existence today will continue to grow in asset size," says David Christiansen, EVP and CCO at Patriot Bank. "They should strengthen in terms of safety and soundness.

So I think the overall industry is poised to strengthen."   Click HERE to learn more.

Rethinking Compensation Incentives Crucial For The Banking Industry
from Banking Exchange

Researchers have challenged conventional wisdom on how to motivate workers and seem to have proven that increased compensation opportunities based on traditional incentive programs can not only be ineffective but can actually be detrimental to worker performance.

In motivating different people at your bank, think through the bank's objectives and match the compensation system. Identify what motivates certain individuals, and design jobs and compensation programs to bring out not only good production, but also good behavior. Click HERE to learn more.

Title Search vs. Title Policy ... 
Do you know the differences?

Relationship: Both of these products are the result of a search or examination of the "title" to the property evidenced by the public records and/or a survey and inspection of the property.

A title search is a process that a title company goes through to see if there are any encumbrances on the property. Once the title company goes through the search, it can then offer an insurance policy to the buyer of the property. This policy helps insure their rights to the property.
