Non-Deposit Investment Sales Practices

 

Non-Deposit Investment Products (NDIP) Mystery Shopping

 

The sale of bank marketed investment non-deposit investment products (NDIP) is regulated by a number of government and industry regulatory agencies. One of the key purposes of this regulation is to avoid confusion between non-deposit and deposit products.

Kinēsis’ investment sales mystery-shopping program provides clients with detailed information about the investment sales practices, such as:

• Appropriate referral practices,
• Content and timing of oral disclosures,
• Setting and circumstances of the sale,
• Non-FDIC insurance coverage or guarantees,
• Level of probing prior to a recommendation,
• Suitability of recommendations,
• Signage, and
• Appropriateness of collateral material.
