As the holidays approach, it's time to stay even more vigilant against fraud. That's because fraudsters are more likely to seek out vulnerable, lonely or busy people at the end of the year. How can community bankers get ahead of year-end fraud and raise awareness among consumers?
"I think that's the responsibility of community banks," says Kausar Kenning, global head of payment systems intelligence for VISA. "Make sure that you're taking all those safety precautions, make sure that you're being proactive in your effort, and you're helping to prevent it from before it even begins."
As Kenning points out, proactivity is key to fraud prevention. She and host Charles Potts talk about the latest scams, why fraud increases toward the end of the year, and how community banks can fight it.
