Elder fraud is becoming one of the most rapidly growing financial crimes in our nation. Criminals strategically select their targets, using sophisticated deception to gain their trust and access their assets. These fraudsters are relentless, showing no concern for the emotional or financial devastation they cause. Once they manipulate an accountholder, they exploit the weakest link within financial institutions to further their schemes. Many victims feel too ashamed or fearful to come forward, often refusing to report the crime or seek justice. This silence allows fraud to continue unchecked. Now is the time to take action. In this session, we will examine the evolving tactics criminals use, explore strategies to protect accountholders, and discuss critical steps for identifying and assisting victims. Join us to strengthen your institution’s defenses and be a frontline protector in the fight against elder fraud.

This training breaks down the fundamentals of trusts and other fiduciary accounts in the context of credit union services so staff can confidently open, service, and manage these accounts. You’ll learn how common fiduciary account types are structured, how ownership and authority are determined, what documentation must be reviewed and retained, and which risk management and red-flag considerations to keep in mind. The session translates key trust concepts into plain English, with a practical focus on identifying the fiduciary relationship and confirming who is (and is not) permitted to access the account.
