Introducing The Simple Way To IDENTITY ISSUES In BANKING

Identity theft is one of the foremost issues for the banking industry. It goes without saying, from an observation of any of the patterns that the fraudsters use for theft, that they are smart. They devise innovative ways to circumvent the system. For example, they don’t use their real name, address or social security numbers when logging in. They could also use stolen or vicarious identities, making investigation a lot harder to carry out.

The ways of understanding these complexities will be the topic of a 60-minute webinar from Traininng.com, a leading provider of professional training for all the areas of regulatory compliance. At this valuable session, the expert, Jim George, an independent consultant to banks who focuses on issues of fraud, will be introducing the simple way to identity issues in banking.

Identifying the red flags
The core content of this webinar is helping participants understand the red flags in the banking sector. Red flags are similar to medical checkups that help to recognize a disease before its onset. Jim will explain how, while the loopholes in the system have helped fraudsters use smart means to exploit them; there are also safeguards built in, which will help locate the crime faster than in the earlier days. Many of these steps are like symptoms that can be read to make a prognosis of what is to come later.
The Federal regulators have put in place as many as 26 indicators of fraud, or red flags, which will help the banks forecast and determine a fraud. But the handicap with this set is that it is not organized properly, and is also incomplete. Jim will explain how to make sense of these haphazardly laid guidelines and optimize them by organizing them according to their related functional area. He has made an understanding of each of these guidelines easier by providing additional information, tips and examples. These help the participant relate to these guidelines in a much easier fashion. All these are based on the vast and rich experience he carries in his profession.
In all, this webinar, which is about introducing the simple way to identity issues in banking, will help participants create proactive standards and processes, which they can put to use in a combined and coordinated manner to identify the signals of a potential fraudulent transaction and take the steps to nip it in the bud. He will also forecast the short-term future and discuss the techniques that industry leaders around the world are implementing as stable, long-term steps for the industry.
Jim will cover the following areas at this webinar:
  • Overview of key fraud control points
  • Red flags indicating ID threats for new accounts
    • On application    
    • On credit reports
    • On documents provided
    • On early use of new credit
  • Red flags indicating ID threats for existing accounts
  • Directions for ID Tools
This webinar is of immense value to those who face fraudulent transactions in their work, such as leaders from banking, those in brokerage, financial services companies in fraud, and those who deal with accounts policy and handle compliance and AML areas.

Fashion industry ‘waking up’ to benefits of blockchain technology, robotics

Blockchain and robotics are becoming increasingly popular in the global fashion industry as brands look to increase transparency and improve efficiencies, according to GlobalData. While it is still in its infancy, blockchain technology has the potential to transform the global supply chain, says Michelle Russell, apparel correspondent at GlobalData. She says that during the last few years, the adoption of blockchain technology amongst apparel and textile companies has grown substantially as the pressure to have more visibility in the supply chain ramps up. “Its uses are varied as companies use the ledger to address problems in unethical behaviour, excess waste, the origin of goods, and counterfeiting.” German start-up Retraced recently launched a blockchain-based transparency solution that it is trialling with a number of fashion brands. Other examples include OpenSC which received US$4 million in seed funding for its platform that aims to build transparency around commodities know

Electronic Payment Fraud Prevention Best Practices

As online and electronic modes of payment increase in their prevalence, it is a lot easier to transact with money matters than it was a few years ago. One doesn’t need to visit a bank or any other financial institution to make these. One can do so from the comfort of one’s own location. But wait a minute. While these improvements in technology have made our tasks easier, they also come with an inevitable side effect: the potential for fraud. Vulnerability is a byproduct of technology. It is almost inseparable from the benefits that technology brings. Not only individuals around the world, but even organizations are at the receiving end of various smart frauds that dot the electronic payment landscape. Ironical as it may sound, companies don’t have the same levels and layers of protection from electronic payment fraud as individuals. They have less than 24 hours to report the fraud, failing which their chances of recovering their lost money reduce dramatically. So, what is the way
