Electronic fraud is rapidly replacing the traditional forms of payments fraud associated with checks. Currently topping the list is the unauthorized use of credit cards or debit cards but new vulnerabilities from more recent consumer and business payment systems such as ACH and wholesale wire transfer facilities are becoming more obvious. Financial risks also are increasing from the electronic processing of items, from remote deposit capture, and from unauthorized individuals obtaining bank customer information from retailer databases. The newest set of risks comes from customers who are defrauded into electronically transferring funds from their accounts and then the bank demands reimbursement.

Join Clayton Gillette and learn about the source of these risks, how current law allocates financial losses when fraud does occur, and how you can minimize financial risk. This webinar covers:

  • Unauthorized wire transfers
  • “Reasonable security procedures” for authenticating wire transfers
  • Name/number fraud
  • Bank responsibility for customer transfers resulting from e-mail scams
  • Fraudulent ACH transfers
  • “Misuse” versus “unauthorized” use of debit and credit cards
  • Liability for altered checks processed through remote deposit capture
  • Warranties and liabilities under the Check 21 Act
  • Banks’ ability to recover from retailers who retain customer card information
