The American Bankers Association and the U.S. Postal Inspection Service announced a new joint initiative to combat the rapid rise in check fraud. The effort will focus on four areas: (1) educating U.S. Postal Service and bank customers about check fraud and what they can do to protect themselves; (2) addressing money mules and collusive account holders; (3) collaborating with law enforcement; and (4) training bank employees and postal workers on red flags and prevention.
We encourage all of our customers to read this important information for your protection. You can view the full article here: US Postal Inspection Service Partnership to Combat Check Fraud | American Bankers Association (aba.com)
