The Electronic Financial Forum was created by the Electronic Financial Services Council to serve as an educational forum for financial services companies, and firms providing support to the electronic financial services industry.  The EFSC and its members believe that the Forum will be important to the enhancement of electronic financial services and to the establishment of the infrastructure that is needed to facilitate this area of electronic commerce.  

The Forum is a series of monthly teleconference meetings at which members of the Forum will receive in-depth presentations on important issues in the development of electronic financial services and products.  Forum presentations will include:

• How to Originate a Mortgage Electronically
• Developing Industry Standards for Electronic Signatures
• Privacy Rules Impacting Electronic Delivery of Financial Services
• Storage and Retrieval of Electronic Records
• Aggregation of Customer Data

Forum members will also receive updates on Federal and state legislative and regulatory developments affecting the delivery of financial services in electronic commerce, covering areas such as financial and Internet privacy, unsolicited commercial e-mail, and electronic signatures and records.
