The Illinois Bankers Association is excited to again partner with over 30 state banking associations to bring you the Fraud Academy. This “first of its kind” school is designed to equip bankers at all levels with the tools to detect, prevent, and mitigate fraud. In just three years, Fraud Academy has grown into the industry's top conference for arming bankers in the war on fraud. What started as an idea has become a movement... and this August, we're taking it further than ever. This immersive three-day program will give you the skills, strategies, and mindset you need to beat the bad guys. Because fraud never sleeps—and neither do we. View Video
