Upcoming Webinars
Protect Your Firm From First-Party ACH Fraud
Monday, May 5, 2025
2:00 p.m. – 3:00 p.m.
First-party Automated Clearing House (ACH) fraud in the securities industry typically occurs when a bad actor—a firm customer using their true identity—uses a brokerage account to initiate an ACH pull transaction from a bank with insufficient funds, or improperly claims that a fraudulent ACH transaction occurred. This webinar reviews a FINRA released Threat Intelligence Product (TIP) that highlights this type of fraud.
