Security Management: The 1968 Bank Protection Act
In the 1960s, all banking was primarily done in person and in-house—i.e., a customer had to literally walk into a bank to make a transaction. This was well before the era of digital cash, when money could be moved from one place to another with the click of a few buttons on a keyboard. In the 60s, cash had to be on hand at the bank in sufficient quantities to meet demand—and that meant banks were a big target for robbers.
The 1968 Bank Protection Act was created to protect banks from robberies by establishing minimum security regulations for all banks. The Act came in response to a string of bank robberies that had occurred in the United States in the years prior—robberies that were easily being committed because banks at the time lacked basic security infrastructure, such as monitoring cameras, automatic locks and other security features. As the Bank Protection Act states, it was designed “to discourage robberies, burglaries, and larcenies and to assist in the identification and apprehension of persons who commit such acts.” By obliging banks to install security system cameras, the belief was that thieves would be less likely to commit robbery...
Each agency essentially developed and appointed the same set of standards.
The Act also obliges the agencies to direct the management of the banks so that they are more secure and in compliance with appropriate security recommendations and guidelines. The Comptroller of the Currency, the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, and the Director of the Office of Thrift Supervision all take part in reviewing this process to ensure that it is being done and that security updates have been put into place.

Banking and Finance Law Are Customers Rights Really Protected? For many of us, dealing with our banks is a daily occurance. With today's technology, most of us use money access machines and online banking as comfortably as we use our television sets our automobiles. But is our money truly protected? Most of us would say, without a doubt, that it was protected. In fact, most of us have not had major problems
Deregulation The Glass-Steagall Act of 1933 was the first major attempt at regulating the financial industry. The Act was passed by President Roosevelt with the objective of restoring public confidence in the banking system. Glass-Steagall sought to, among other things "prevent the undue diversion of funds into speculative operations," in response to the market crashes that had sparked the Great Depression (Maues, 2013). The reason for this was simple -- speculation
Banking Regulation Captain -- You Do See That Blinking Light, Don't You? An apocryphal story about an unnamed navy captain goes like this. The ship in question is sailing at a not insignificant clip on a very overcast night close to shore in preparation for docking. A number of sailors who are above deck see a blinking light in the distance that clearly -- to them -- appears to be a lighthouse.
Banking Would the challenges when an insurance firm acquires an investment bank be the same as the challenges encountered in melding organizations when a commercial bank acquires an investment bank? Why? Give sample of successful merging and acquisition of each case. Give any global economic event or any international banking event that relate to the case. Commercial banks have an extraordinarily difficult time when trying to merge investment banks to their enterprise.
The U.S. Supreme Court then granted a writ of certiorari to determine the meaning of the language "in connection with the purchase or sale of any security" (Reed, O. Shedd, P. Morehead, J. & Pagnattaro, M. 2008). What argument did the security dealer make in seeking to have the civil complaint dismissed? Zandford's defense in this matter was particularly interesting as he does not deny his involvement in the "simple theft
