Public Policy of the Brain Injury Network
Policy approved by the Board 10-18-08
Banks and Other Financial Institutions:
Banks and other financial institutions should be required by law to report any suspicious bank-related activity regarding their patrons when it is known to the bank that the patron is or may be cognitively impaired. This is a mandated reporter requirement. An example would be if a person without any professional credentials and unknown to the bank appears at the bank with a person who is clearly cognitively impaired and the third party seeks to be made a co-signer on the bank patron’s account. Such an event would trigger the bank’s responsibility to report said suspicious activity by the third party to the appropriate authorities.
