"We have used other resources in the past for compliance guidance, but decided to switch to Compliance Alliance.  Their company is the most robust system we have ever had.  You get instant access to skilled professionals, who can answer your question right then and there, instead of having to wait for a reply.  They also have numerous cheat sheets, tools and training that all come as part of your membership.  We have utilized many of these and have been able to streamline processes where we struggled in the past.  As a smaller community bank, it is nice to know there is help there when we need it - not tomorrow or the next week.  I highly recommend Compliance Alliance, no matter the size of your institution."
