Credit Unions Turn to Tech, Education to Blunt Real-Time Payment Fraud

Real-Time Payments Tracker® – August 2021

As credit unions embrace real-time payments as a way to compete with their digital-first rivals, they’re also encountering new security challenges. In this month’s Real-Time Payments Tracker, a PYMNTS and The Clearing House collaboration, Brett Engstrom, chief information officer of Iowa-based Veridian Credit Union, spoke about preventing potential fraud risks in real-time payments and the value of rigorous employee and member education.
