Program

As banks across the country concentrated on fraud in the digital channels, a record number of financial institutions reported more fraud occurring at traditional branches.

Crooks and their co-conspirators have discovered new methods to deceive branch personnel to open accounts, negotiate stolen, washed, and counterfeit checks in new and creative ways. FinCEN data indicates, and other agency reports reveal that fraud complaints doubled in 2022, after increasing more than 150% between 2020 and 2021.

Just when you thought the crooks had moved to online scams and duping customers, check fraud at branches is exploding over the last 2 years, and Kansas banks are not immune. Identity theft and related check fraud scams continue to increase and the Kansas Bankers Association wants to help stem the tide at the front line.

The KBA has teamed with The Rechel Group, Inc., a leading risk consulting business providing organizations with fraud risk analysis, fraud prevention, detection, and investigation services to customize a program focused on the needs of branch personnel to mitigate and prevent fraud at the frontline.
