Unauthorized transactions are one of the most common, frustrating and misunderstood areas of compliance for credit unions. This session will break down how unauthorized activity is defined and handled across three key frameworks:
*Regulation E for electronic funds transfers (EFTs)
*Regulation Z for credit cards and other open-end credit
*Uniform Commercial Code (UCC) for checks
We’ll explore what actually qualifies as an “unauthorized transaction” under each law/regulation, highlighting important distinctions that impact how claims are evaluated and resolved. From there, we’ll walk through member rights and credit union obligations, including error resolution requirements, liability limitations, and investigation standards.
The session will also address common misconceptions and operational pitfalls, such as authorized users claiming fraud, disputes involving recurring transactions, and misunderstandings around altered or forged checks under the UCC.
Designed for frontline staff, operations, and compliance professionals, this class will provide practical guidance to help you consistently and confidently handle unauthorized transaction claims while meeting regulatory expectations.

Are credit unions obsolete? All anyone wants is fintechs and apps? The future belongs to th big banks? Wrong! Wrong! And are you serious?, says veteran credit union journalist Frank J. Diekmann. In this fast-moving, challenging and entertaining hour-long presentation for all credit union employees, Mr. Diekmann explains where credit unions came from, where they are and why they are more relevant than ever to the future for consumers—IF they understand how to connect with members and communities. And that begins with the foundation necessary for any successful enterprise—their own employees, the most important brand ambassadors of all.
In this presentation, Diekmann draws on real-life credit union examples ranging from innovative ideas, unique communications, historical lessons, videos, and more to recharge CU employees about this rare enterprise they are a part of.

Stop payment requests can present complex operational and legal challenges for credit unions. This session will provide a clear, practical overview of the rules governing stop payments across different types of transactions and payment channels.
We’ll begin with a discussion of stop payment rights under the Uniform Commercial Code (UCC), including how members can request stop payments on checks they have written, applicable timeframes, and the legal effect of those requests. We’ll then contrast those rules with stop payments involving credit union-issued instruments, such as teller’s checks and cashier’s checks, where the ability to stop payment is far more limited and subject to different legal standards.
The session will also cover stop payment protections for electronic funds transfers under Regulation E, including timing requirements and member rights when attempting to stop preauthorized or recurring payments.
Finally, we’ll walk through key operational considerations, including how members may request stop payments, the credit union’s obligation to act on those requests, and best practices for documenting and maintaining stop payment orders to ensure compliance and reduce risk.
Whether you work in operations, compliance, or member service, this webinar will help you navigate stop payment requests with confidence and consistency.

First Amendment Auditors are individuals who attempt to enter and remain on city or public property to record your employees, officials, and operations, or to engage in other expressive conduct. They claim to be testing your knowledge of First Amendment rights and are well known for directly confronting and recording law enforcement officers on duty. Their goal is to record how your employees respond to their recording and to see if you violate their first amendment rights. They often engage in verbal tactics to “rattle,” “bait,” “anger,” or “surprise” your employee or official to illicit a “recordable response.” They record from areas that are publicly accessible and any action taken by your employee to challenge or prevent them from recording may become grounds for a lawsuit and/or the video may be placed on YouTube for public viewing. They have challenged employees at banks, restaurants, city halls, and government facilities among other locations. This session provides common sense guidelines on how to properly respond to these frustrating and potentially volatile confrontations.
