• Posted on Feb 18, 2014

On February 19, 2014 at the sixth NMLS Annual Conference and Training, Chartwell Compliance’s Trish Lagodzinski will speak on a panel about “Licensing on NMLS: A focus on MSBs”. Trish join Pamela Fitzgerald, an Examiner with the Kentucky Department of Financial Institutions, and Whitney Kiehl, Senior Analyst in Global Compliance for Western Union Financial Services, Inc.

Twenty-one agencies are now managing their MSB license applications and reporting on NMLS and at least another nine states are planning to do so in 2014. NMLS is quickly becoming the predominate licensing system for MSBs. Subjects for the panel include the following:

• Experience with the NMLS system
• Tips for making NMLS work
• What regulatory agencies and the money services business industry would like to see from NMLS in the future

Designed for both new and experienced users of NMLS and for both regulators and industry attendees, the NMLS Conference will provide a valuable opportunity for NMLS users to exchange information on system and regulatory compliance issues related to their organizations.

Chartwell will also participate in the NMLS Ombudsman meeting by discussing enhanced uploading features for uniform periodic reports on NMLS that might eventually eliminate the need for companies to mail documents to the states. The NMLS Ombudsman provides the industry users of NMLS and other interested parties with a neutral venue to discuss issues or concerns regarding NMLS use and policies governing the System.
