How to Defraud an ODFI in Three Easy Steps
MINNEAPOLIS, MN – May 14, 2019 - Argos Risk’s Director of Client Services, Erica El Hilali will present “How to Defraud a Company in 3 Easy Steps” at EPCOR Payments Conference May 22nd and 23rd in Columbus, Ohio. EPCOR’s conference provides 30+ informative sessions, open discussion forums, workshops on fraud and regulatory considerations, new payment initiatives and emerging payments technology, and networking opportunities on payments industry changes and challenges.
“We are happy to present at EPCOR’s Spring 2019 conference. With decision-makers and payments industry experts from the Federal Reserve, NACHA, ECCHO and many more coming together, it’s an honor to be asked to speak with national-caliber speakers,” said El Hilali. “It’s great to return to EPCOR. Plus, it is another outstanding conference to engage with our customers and meet their team in person,” she added.
Our session will present a field example of a third-party processor executive and a potential originator who promised large origination fees. Ultimately, the third-party processor was a victim of fraud, substantial losses, and ended up testifying in a federal courtroom for the FBI.
In addition to the details of a three-step plan that the fraudsters used to defeat risk mitigation measures, we will share the most common strategic mistakes that can leave organizations vulnerable, along with best practices for securing and enhancing your third- party risk management program.
Argos Risk works with hundreds of organizations in implementing best practices related to continuous third-party risk mitigation programs. “We look forward to presenting at this conference and engaging with EPCOR’s members and payments professionals who are discussing today’s security and risk management solutions,” said Lori Frank, President, and CEO of Argos Risk.
