Raleigh, NC, May 10, 2009 --(PR.com)-- Recently, the Federal Trade Commission has been sending notices requiring the protection of non-public information by all "financial institutions" and "creditors."

This letter is a reminder of the possible compliance requirements and that one or more of the following laws may apply to you:

*Red Flag Rules
*Fair and Accurate Credit Transactions Act of 2003 (FACTA)
*Gramm-Leach Bliley Act (GLB)
*HIPAA Privacy
