A BSA/AML program needs to reflect the business your institution actually conducts.

The OCC’s October 8 enforcement action against American Express National Bank is a reminder to look closely at the connection between risk, resources and day-to-day ex*****on.

Katy’s latest article turns the findings into practical questions for community banks and credit unions:
• Does your risk assessment cover the products and services driving activity today?
• Can your team move from an alert to a documented decision without avoidable delays?
• Do independent testing, training and board reporting address your institution’s actual risks?

Use the article to start a focused discussion with your compliance team and leadership.

The ACH fraud-monitoring deadline has passed. Now the question is whether your process can consistently identify unusual activity and give your team the context needed to investigate it.

ACH RiskLens evaluates activity across your ACH environment and helps surface anomalies involving transaction amounts, volume, new senders, micro-entry activity, returns, and international ACH transactions.

It also supports suspect-account review and customizable monitoring thresholds, allowing institutions to align monitoring with their own risk profiles and operating processes.

Watch the video for a closer look at how ACH RiskLens works.

The Federal Reserve’s new stablecoin proposals will prompt questions in community-bank boardrooms. A useful first question is simple: What customer need would a new payment arrangement actually address?

We put together 10 questions directors and management can use to discuss customer demand, ownership, third parties, service, and the evidence needed for a decision.

Fraud metrics should answer distinct questions.

Confirmed fraudulent activity tells you what the institution verified as fraud in its system. Verified prevented loss asks which losses the institution can substantiate it stopped.

In its first 12 months after FraudSentry went live, Park View recorded $115,629.11 in confirmed fraudulent check activity in the platform.

That figure is not a prevented-loss total. Keeping the two categories separate helps leaders discuss outcomes with precision.

Please join us in welcoming Katy Balogh, CAMS, CFE, to Finovifi as Product Manager, Fraud & Compliance!

Katy brings more than 25 years of banking experience, including 18 years specializing in BSA/AML/OFAC compliance. Most recently, she served as SVP, BSA/AML/OFAC Officer at United Community Bank, following senior roles at Regions Bank, FirstBank and Cadence Bank.

She understands the challenges financial institutions face because she’s been on their side of the table: leading financial crime programs, managing regulatory examinations and helping teams turn complex requirements into practical processes.
At Finovifi, Katy will help guide our fraud and BSA/AML product development, lead solution demonstrations and provide education that supports community banks and credit unions in their day-to-day work.

Her arrival strengthens something we believe matters: pairing technology with access to people who understand banking.
Welcome to the team, Katy!

Confirmed outcomes are more than case notes. They are feedback.

Park View Federal Credit Union records employee determinations on reviewed checks. When fraud is confirmed later, the team marks that outcome too, so the detection models can learn from it.

For other credit unions, the question is simple: Does your review process capture both correctly flagged items and misses? Accurate feedback may be less flattering than a perfect-looking scorecard, but it supports better learning and more reliable reporting.
