Policy Statement 100
New York Policy Statement 100 is a set of rules and guidelines established by the New York State Department of Financial Services (DFS) that applies to most New York regulated financial institutions. It is designed to protect the interests of consumers, promote consumer protection, and ensure that financial institutions comply with the applicable laws and regulations. The New York Policy Statement 100 consists of three main parts: Consumer Protection Principles, Financial Institution Practices, and Business Practices. Consumer Protection Principles outline the basic rules that financial institutions must follow to protect consumers from harm, such as fraud, abuse, and unfair practices. These principles include the right to full information, protection of confidential information, responsible advertising, and fair and reasonable fees. Financial Institution Practices are the specific practices that financial institutions must follow to ensure compliance with New York Policy Statement 100. These practices include verifying consumer information, conducting periodic reviews of consumer accounts, and providing timely notice of changes to consumer accounts. Business Practices are the standards that financial institutions must adhere to when conducting their business operations. These standards include maintaining a professional environment, providing clear and reasonable disclosure of fees and other costs, and responding promptly to consumer complaints. The New York Policy Statement 100 applies to all New York regulated financial institutions, including banks, credit unions, mortgage brokers, and other institutions.
