WEBINAR DETAILS

Cryptocurrency activities are becoming a widely accepted payment method and investment tool. Does your institution understand basic industry terms, definitions, roles, and risks? Can your employees identify possible cryptocurrency red flags? Have your policies and procedures been updated to reflect this medium of exchange and agency-issued guidance? This webinar will explain common cryptocurrency industry terminology, expound on various roles within the industry, identify potential red flags and risks, and address ways accountholders can acquire and sell cryptocurrency.

As this type of currency continues to evolve, the financial industry is starting to enter this payment world by offering cryptocurrency safekeeping and custodial services. While your institution may not be ready to enter the market at this level, are you prepared to underwrite a loan in which your applicant is receiving cryptocurrency payments or have assets that are predominately held in cryptocurrency? Join us to learn the current regulatory guidance and expectations, as well as lessons learned from recently identified fraud cases.
