FinCrime.com is sponsored by the Georgia Credit Union League in cooperation
with the Georgia Bankers Association and is open to their member
financial institutions and law enforcement officials. Participating
financial institutions in FinCrime share information in an
online,
searchable database of fraudulent activity. The result-shared
aggregate data identifies and links criminals to their acts.
FinCrime’s focus is to improve financial institutions’
ability to detect and prevent fraud losses and to assist law
enforcement in the prosecution of criminals.
FinCrime.com
provides a communication vehicle for financial institutions
and law enforcement, functioning as a clearinghouse of information.
Participants submit fraud data into a central depository which
immediately notifies the participating users via email. This
early awareness allows you to take action to prevent fraud
losses in your credit union.
The shared
database provides opportunities to build larger “multi-institution”
cases out of smaller individual losses, helping financial
institutions and law enforcement officials focus on repeat
offenders and organized crime. Through this effort, we hope
to gain overall loss reduction for League members, as professional
criminals will find financial institution fraud more difficult,
more risky and less profitable to pursue!
