Recording: Checks and Imbalances: How Fraud Migrates Across Payment Channels
2:00 PM
About the Webinar
2:00 PM - 3:00 PM ET
PRESENTERS:
Nick Pearson, AVP, Fraud Product Management, Nasdaq Verafin
Greg Williamson, Head of Fraud Commercialization Strategy, Nasdaq Verafin
ABOUT THE WEBINAR:
Check fraud is no longer a stand-alone payment-channel problem. A stolen or fraudulent check can be the entry point to a broader attack — moving from account opening and deposit fraud through in-clearing, mule activity, ACH, wire, or other outbound payments.
Join Nasdaq Verafin’s Greg Williamson and Nick Pearson for an engaging discussion that explores how financial institutions can connect intelligence across the full fraud journey, identify intervention points earlier, and replace fragmented, single-tool thinking with a coordinated, layered approach. Drawing on consortium insights, machine learning, dark web monitoring, onboarding intelligence, and emerging agentic capabilities, the discussion will show how financial institutions can better connect teams, data, and controls to prevent losses before funds leave the institution.
Attendees will gain a practical framework for tracing fraud across channels, recognizing the signals that connect seemingly isolated events, and strengthening intervention strategies. By understanding how fraud migrates from checks to other payment methods, institutions can improve collaboration, prioritize resources, and build more adaptive defenses against increasingly coordinated criminal activity.
THIS WEBINAR WILL COVER:
- How check fraud can evolve into a cross-channel attack.
- Where financial institutions can intervene across the fraud journey.
- How connected data, intelligence, and controls strengthen prevention.
TOP 3 BENEFITS TO ATTENDEES:
- See the full fraud journey beyond a single payment channel.
- Identify earlier opportunities to stop losses.
- Learn how to connect teams, data, and controls.
