Outsmarting Fraud: The Video Podcast
A video podcast series built for credit union professionals covering the latest fraud trends, tactics, and defenses.
Relentless daily fraud drains earnings when static compliance training fails frontline staff.
With annual financial institution fraud losses reaching $12.5 billion, over 57% of credit unions suffer more than $500,000 in direct yearly hits to their bottom line. Beyond direct stolen funds, members impacted by fraud are 31% more likely to leave the credit union, compounding long-term revenue loss.
Frontline branch teams, operational leaders, and back-office fraud specialists.
It equips teams across branch operations, risk, and compliance with bite-sized video case studies that fit into daily huddles to build fast scam-spotting instincts. Frontline staff can immediately intercept active threats on the floor, protecting member assets and safeguarding the institution’s bottom line.
