Community Banking Has A Fraud Problem

Financial fraud is accelerating. In 2024, U.S. internet crime losses hit $16.6 billion, a 33% increase in a single year, and community banks are squarely in the crosshairs.

In this session, Kim Snyder, Founder & CEO of KlariVis, sits down with Paul Benda, Executive Vice President of Risk, Fraud and Cybersecurity at the American Bankers Association, to unpack the most pressing fraud and scam trends threatening financial institutions today.

Attendees will leave with a clearer understanding of:

How shell telecoms, social media platforms, and crypto ATMs are being weaponized against bank customers and what the patterns look like
What the latest FBI crime data and international benchmarks reveal about where U.S. banks stand relative to global peers
How emerging legislation could expand institutional liability and reshape what your frontline staff is responsible for
What transaction and behavioral patterns community banks should be watching to catch fraud activity earlier
Why a whole-of-government, shared-responsibility approach is the only realistic path to meaningful fraud reduction

We look forward to seeing you on April 30th at 2:00pm ET for this important conversation.
