Session Description:

Nacha updated the Risk Management Framework in 2022 to reflect evolving threats posed to the Network by credit push fraud scenarios. These schemes include business email compromise (BEC), vendor and payroll impersonation frauds, and account take over (ATO). Financial Institutions, Third-Party Senders and other payments participants must also adjust our strategies to mitigate credit push scenarios. The 2022 Risk Management Framework focuses on three areas Nacha believes will have the greatest impact on reducing credit push fraud: enhanced guidelines and Rules to support RDFI risk management responsibilities; information and data sharing; and end-user education. This session will provide the latest information about developments in all 3 areas.
