CHECKED 2024 was an game changer!
In 2023, the United States experienced $21 billion in check fraud losses, accounting for nearly 80% of all check fraud losses globally. Unfortunately, this trend is continuing, as fraudsters increasingly share tactics and leverage the latest technologies to carry out their schemes, leaving financial institutions struggling to keep pace.
At our recently concluded, third annual CHECKED Summit, industry experts, visionary leaders, and disruptive thinkers gathered to discuss the current and future landscape of check fraud. This event provided a valuable platform for financial institutions to connect, share best practices, and collaborate on strategies to combat this escalating issue. Thank you to everyone who participated—we look forward to continuing these important conversations as we work together to enhance security against check fraud.
