Question

The GLBA gives customers the right to opt out of information sharing, and banks must provide customers with a reasonable opportunity to do so. Which situation represents an opt-out method that would subject a bank to regulatory criticism under the GLBA?

Answer 1

Answer:

C) Asking the consumer to write his or her own letter to exercise that opt out right

Explanation:

The whole purpose behind the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act (GLBA)was to allow customers the right to easily opt out of information sharing by the banks. That means that the banks are required to provide an easy way for a customer to do so, and writing your own letter might be easy for some people, but very difficult for others.

It is much easier to do it by phone, or by simply mailing back a detachable form. If the client knows how to use internet and emails properly, then the bank must provide an easy option to opt out through an email or an option that can be found in the bank's website.
