An Introduction to the Fraud Incident Database

This tool is designed to enter incidents of fraud experienced by your credit union or your members. You may be keeping track of these in a spreadsheet, or another software product, or maybe spread across member comments and tracker conversations; now is the time to gather your data and enter them into the fraud database! This tool is a centralized place for our network to log fraud incidents for the first step in a process to shift focus from compliance monitoring to fraud prevention. While this tool in its current iteration does not have the capabilities to prevent fraud, other than through careful internal monitoring of trends perhaps, we encourage your credit union to take advantage of the data processing power contained in CU*BASE by utilizing this tool. Our focus is to move forward and make the most of our environment to build new tools and business that can help reduce and mitigate the effects of fraud for credit unions in our network.
