Wire transfers are high-risk transactions that demand sound agreements and strong internal controls.
Join Shelli Clarkston for this must-attend
compliance session that will review sample audit procedures, system
vulnerabilities, and methods to strengthen your institution’s policies,
monitoring, and risk assessments. Participants will receive tools to build a
more effective and resilient wire transfer compliance program — learn how to
identify, prevent, and respond to suspicious activity while maintaining full
compliance with applicable rules.
KEY WEBINAR TAKEAWAYS
- Risk and liability under UCC Article 4A

WEBINAR DETAILS
Wire transfers remain one of the highest risk
payment channels for financial institutions. Business email compromise (BEC),
social engineering, account takeover, and operational errors continue to drive
significant financial losses, often with little ability to recover funds. This
webinar will provide a practical, operations-focused dive into wire transfer
agreements, internal controls, and regulatory expectations, with a particular
emphasis on UCC Article 4A and its requirements, such as agreed-upon commercially
reasonable security procedures, examiner scrutiny, and real-world fraud
scenarios. Attendees will learn how to
structure effective wire transfer agreements, implement defensible security
procedures and internal controls, and respond appropriately when wire fraud
occurs.
