Federal Agencies Involved: Identity Theft "Red Flags" Program is issued by the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency, Treasury (OCC); Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (Board); Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC); Office of Thrift Supervision, Treasury (OTS); National Credit Union Administration (NCUA); and Federal Trade Commission (FTC).
Federal Identity Theft "Red Flags" Program Summary: It requires each financial institution to develop and implement Identity Theft Prevention Program to detect, prevent, and mitigate identity theft. Program must be able to identify, detect and respond to "Red Flags". Financial institutions must update the program and incorporate changes in risk profile at regular intervals. "Red Flag" is defined as a pattern, practice, or specific activity that indicates the possible existence of identity theft. Prevention & Mitigation is covered additionally. Program implements section 114 and 315 of the Fair and Accurate Credit Transactions Act of 2003 (FACT Act/USA).
Effective & Compliance Dates: Program took effect from January 1, 2008. Mandatory compliance date is November 1, 2008.
