Fraud Conference

March 19, 2025

Fraud Conference - Nashville

Check fraud is rising across the Southeast, creating challenges for financial institutions and their members. In Tennessee alone, the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) received approximately 86,000 fraud-related complaints in 2023, with reported financial losses totaling $133.6 million. Additionally, the FBI reported that Tennessee residents lost over $160 million to internet scams last year, highlighting the pervasive nature of fraud in the state.

As credit unions, it’s vital to understand these trends and take proactive measures to safeguard your members and assets.

This conference will focus on check fraud, anti-human trafficking, and actionable steps your credit union can take to identify and combat fraud. It is an excellent opportunity to learn from experts and collaborate with peers to strengthen your fraud prevention strategies.
