Training Overview
Is your institution doing enough to prevent identity theft? Learn your obligations under the FACT Act.
An estimated nine million Americans have their identities stolen each year. Identity thieves drain accounts, damage credit, and put medical treatment at risk. The Fair and Accurate Credit Transactions (FACT) Act requires financial institutions to develop, document, and implement an identity theft prevention program.
The Federal Trade Commission’s Red Flags Rule provides guidelines you can use to create and administer your program. You are obligated to ensure your institution complies and actively combats identity thieves.
