PODCAST: The fraud arms race

It’s hard to stay ahead of fraudsters. Credit unions can renew their security measures and fraud education efforts, but fraudsters find a way.

Envisant President/CEO Libby Calderone joined the CUNA News Podcast to share how the credit union service organization (CUSO) is helping credit unions through the fraud arms race. Calderone and CUNA Digital Media Design Specialist Yeekeng Yang discuss trending fraud attacks, how credit unions can combat them, and more.

“Fraud, identity theft, or anything like that is a real problem,” Calderone says. “It's a troubling thing for a member to experience, so the more we can do to reduce that for our members, the better our credit unions will be.”
