Check fraud is no longer a stand-alone payment-channel problem. A stolen or fraudulent check can be the entry point to a broader attack — moving from account opening and deposit fraud through in-clearing, mule activity, ACH, wire or other outbound payments.
Join Nasdaq Verafin’s Greg Williamson and Nick Pearson for an engaging discussion that explores how financial institutions can connect intelligence across the full fraud journey, identify intervention points earlier and replace fragmented, single-tool thinking with a coordinated, layered approach.
Drawing on consortium insights, machine learning, dark web monitoring, onboarding intelligence and emerging agentic capabilities, the discussion will show how financial institutions can better connect teams, data and controls to prevent losses before funds leave the institution.
Gain a practical framework for tracing fraud across channels, recognize the signals that connect seemingly isolated events and strengthen intervention strategies. By understanding how fraud migrates from checks to other payment methods, institutions can improve collaboration, prioritize resources and build more adaptive defenses against increasingly coordinated criminal activity.
