Day 1: Growth By Design: Building Smarter For A Rapidly Changing Market

3:00 PM Working Group on Fraud

Join this working group to share and brainstorm around the latest instances of fraud and fraud prevention in a low-key setting. As leaders of financial institutions, simply sharing your own experiences with different types of scams, and lessons learned can be the most powerful to hear what is happening around the country and think through different cases ahead of time so that you can be prepared the next time your organization comes across a new use case. We’ll talk check fraud, wire fraud, impersonation fraud, payment fraud, card fraud and ACH fraud. Walk away with:  

  • A real-world view of how fraud is evolving across institutions of all sizes and geographies 
  • Peer-tested mitigation strategies and response protocols you can adapt immediately 
  • Employee training tactics that actually work in preventing front-line exposure 
  • Tips for member and customer education that help build trust and awareness 
  • Early warning signs and red flags to help your team identify threats faster 
  • A stronger fraud-fighting network of peers you can stay connected with after the session

Check out the incredible speaker line-up to see who will be joining Anne.
