DEANNA R. MC CLEAN (CRD #4222057, Rock Island, Illinois)

was barred by FINRA for allegedly using her own personal funds to pay life insurance premiums for clients to ensure that their policies did not lapse and, to qualify for the highest possible commission rate paid by her member firm’s affiliate.

FINRA's findings stated that McClean’s actions violated the affiliate firm’s policy and the Iowa Insurance Code. McClean paid many of the premiums with money orders and occasionally forged customer signatures on the money orders. As result of McClean’s misconduct, she received unwarranted commissions of at least $26,113, which she converted to her own use.

(FINRA Case #2013039581301)

FINRA has permanently barred this individual from acting as a broker or otherwise associating with firms that sell securities to the public.

DEANNA R. MC CLEAN was previously registered with the following securities firm(s):

12/2003 - 12/2013 ALLSTATE FINANCIAL SERVICES, LLC (CRD# 18272) - DAVENPORT, IA

02/2003 - 12/2003 AFS BROKERAGE, INC. (CRD# 25924) - AUSTIN, TX

07/2001 - 04/2002 AMERICAN EXPRESS FINANCIAL ADVISORS INC. (CRD# 6363) - MINNEAPOLIS, MN

07/2001 - 04/2002 IDS LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY (CRD# 6321) - MINNEAPOLIS, MN

08/2000 - 06/2001 METLIFE SECURITIES INC. (CRD# 14251) - NEW YORK, NY

08/2000 - 06/2001 METROPOLITAN LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY (CRD# 4095) - NEW YORK, NY

This ends the information from FINRA's February 2015 Disciplinary Report.
