Skimming and Card Cloning
Mike Burke
Senior Robbery and Crisis Management Consultant
SHAZAM
Technology is evolving every day, and the need for digital transformation continues to grow. For most banks, digital transformation is a distant goal, putting them at risk when it comes to security, business and employment. A recent Harvard Business Review article found that boards of directors increasingly want to transform their companies digitally via new tools, security and training. This presentation will evaluate those three areas of transformation — tools, cybersecurity tips and methods — and the importance of training.

 The Voice of the Customer – Adopting AI
Steve Bruyn
CEO
Foresight Research
Few banks are disclosing the number of AI users who engage with their chatbots. Why? Bank of America reported that more than 17 million of their customers — less than 30% — and nearly 40% of their digital customers were using ERICA, the bank’s chatbot that has been in use for almost four years.
Why are consumers resistant to AI and chatbots? In its survey of more than 13,000 consumers in 40 markets that included Missouri, Foresight Research found that 80% of all consumers are comfortable with asking banking questions or gathering advice on investments, loans or retirement planning in-person. Only about 40% of consumers are comfortable using chatbots or AI technology for routine questions, and even less are comfortable using this technology for information and advice on loans, retirement planning or investments. This session will address strategies to encourage consumer adoption of AI and its importance in achieving widespread usage.

 Financial Fragmentation: Threat and Opportunity
Lee Wetherington
Senior Director, Strategy
Jack Henry & Associates
Ecosystem disruption continues. In pursuit of more convenience in their financial lives, consumers have unintentionally made them more complex to manage. It is not uncommon for young couples to use 30 to 40 different financial apps and service providers. The good news is that banks are well-positioned to solve for financial fragmentation, simplify customers’ financial lives and achieve first-app status in the process.

 Cryptocurrency Frauds and Scams
Pamela Clegg
Director of Forensics & Training
CipherTrace
Cryptocurrency scams are on the rise, and DeFi fraud continues to rise each quarter as victims are often being tricked out of tens of thousands of dollars. Recent data from the Federal Trade Commission shows that since October 2020, consumers have reported losing more than $80 million in cryptocurrency scams. This represents an increase of more than tenfold year-on-year. These groups have been learning from each other, increasingly working together and using similar methods to raise, store and move funds, including money mule networks. This session explores various real-life cryptocurrency scam cases and looks at the methodology of investigating these crimes. This presentation also discusses the challenges associated with seizing and recovering assets for the victims, bringing the perpetrators to justice and analyzing the “red flags” that both financial institutions and virtual asset service providers should identify. |

Teaching Out-of-Wallet Questions
Dan Hadaway, CRISC, CISA, CISM

Do your users know how to prove a caller’s identity before giving out sensitive information? Let’s say it another way: do your users know how to ask what the regulators call “Out-of-Wallet Questions?” This session will not only establish the reasons and risks related to pretext calling, but it will provide helpful and timely suggestions on how to teach all bank employees how to ask Out-of-Wallet Questions!

The Rules of the Game: Nothing is the Same
Jackson Hataway, Ph.D.
Executive Vice President
Missouri Bankers Association
The pandemic rewrote many of the rules for “banking as usual.” Consumers and businesses were forced online, opening the door for new channels and providers to emerge at a rapid pace. Now, as we look forward, banks must determine how best to manage the onslaught of innovation we are experiencing. What services are critical for your bank to provide (either to customers or staff) in the future? How will you find the people to manage those services? Perhaps most importantly – how will we deal with the risk represented by all these connections? Prioritization and resource management will be key to developing strategy. In this session, we’ll dive specifically into what’s happening in Missouri, across the country and around the world as innovation in banking reaches new heights. |
