The National Credit Union Administration (NCUA) and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) will jointly host a webinar titled “Financial Education & Frontline Action to Address Scams” on March 12 at 1 p.m. The session, which is scheduled to last one hour, aims to inform credit unions and banks about current financial scams and how financial institutions can work to protect consumers.
According to the NCUA, the event will include practical strategies for combating fraud and recognizing suspicious or unauthorized activity. Participants will also be introduced to educational resources such as MyCreditUnion.gov and FDIC’s Money Smart program. Representatives from both a credit union and a community bank are set to share their best practices for preventing fraud and identifying potentially fraudulent transactions.
Questions can be submitted in advance or during the webinar by emailing WebinarQuestions@ncua.gov with the subject line: “Financial Education & Frontline Action to Address Scams.” The webinar is accessible via computer or mobile device, though users are advised to enable pop-ups for access. Technical assistance is available through uccwebinar@ncua.gov or uccsupport@ncua.gov. A recording of the webinar will be made available on NCUA’s YouTube channel after the live event.
There is no cost to attend, but registration is required.
