-Ryan Fuhriman, Fraud Prevention Manager
Located in Jacksonville, Florida, Community First Credit Union has to be extra vigilant in looking out for financial crime. Its position near to Interstate I95 and Interstate I10 make it an attractive proposition for criminal activity, which was resulting in a heavy burden of time-consuming manual processes for suspicious activity detection.
In this case study, learn how Community First began using Nasdaq Verafin in 2012 to reduce workload and uncover criminal activity that may otherwise be missed. You’ll hear about a poignant real-life example where the credit union was able to protect one of its most vulnerable members — a man struggling with the lasting effects of a stroke — from a potential $10,000 loss resulting from a reprehensible romance scam.
