Top 10 Twitter Accounts for Compliance and Risk Issues for Financial Institutions (Part 1)

Let’s face it, when it comes to Twitter and financial institutions, it seems like a tool whose usefulness is limited to reminding consumers about holiday closing times and food drives.

But more and more, Twitter is becoming a helpful resource beyond reaching out to consumers. It is emerging as a useful tool for those with responsibilities for compliance and risk at their financial institutions. Some of the more savvy tweeters even manage to capture the slightly playful, terse Twitter culture in their tweets, while still maintaining their business decorum. There are even some who use the #Compliance hashtag to further build the community.

Although the Twitter compliance community appears to be still in its infancy, here are 10 (5 this week, 5 more to follow next week) worthwhile tweeters you may want to follow for matters relating to compliance and risk for financial institutions. These are in no particular order. I plan to update this list periodically, so if you have suggestions for Twitter accounts that should be added to the list, please send them my way via dennis(dot)agle(at)neighborbench(dot)com.
