Part III. How to Read a Merchant Statement/ Cost Analysis- Understanding how to read a credit card processing statement can be difficult with many unexplained acronyms, randomly placed numbers and computations that can be confusing.

“Read Twice, Click Once” - Business Email Compromise
“Read Twice, Click Once” - Business Email Compromise
The expression “measure twice, cut once” is meant to double check your measurements before cutting the board. “Read Twice, Click Once” is sound advice when dealing with email communication. Because email continues to be the primary vehicle for electronic communications, the growing and evolving trend of account takeover and fraud via Business Email Compromise (BEC) is of great concern to consumers, businesses and law enforcement.
Between October 2013 and May 2018, the Internet Crime Complaint Center (IC3) identified over 78,000 incidents with losses totaling over $12.5 Billion dollars. Business Email Compromise, also know as Email Account Compromise, is a sophisticated attempt to target, not only businesses, but consumers as well.
While commonly used for unauthorized transfers, the scam can also be used to compromise business email account as well as personal information.
This session will highlight:
- Methods used to perpetrate the fraud (not all are via email)
- Controls to help you detect and prevent the attempts
- Tips to educate your staff, businesses and consumers

Regulation E- Card Disputes and Liability
As the payments ecosystem readies for Visa’s new chargeback rules, the transaction dispute process for credit and debit cards has just become more challenging. Changes in transaction codes are shifting formats, dispute windows for merchants are changing and eCommerce transactions have new rules for issuers.
Branded debit cards are governed by operating rules of the card brand overlapping with Regulation E provisions (e.g., zero cardholder liability). The relationship between the card-issuing financial institutions and consumer account holders are governed through Regulation E. Do the rules conflict, or are they complimentary to one another? During this session we will examine the dispute processes from a high level and break down the requirements and discuss the differences.

Same-Day ACH - The Debits Are Coming
September 15th, 2017 marks the arrival of Same Day Debits to the ACH Network. The operational implications to Phase 2 will be significant. Here is an excerpt from the Federal Bank’s FedFlash Bulletin that highlights just a few of the potential concerns raised by the September 15th rollout:
Phase 2 of the NACHA Same Day ACH Rules change to allow debit entries along with the credit entries implemented under Phase 1 becomes effective on September 15, 2017. As with Same Day Automated Clearing House (ACH) credits, each Same Day ACH debit, provided all other requirements are also met, will result in the Same Day ACH Entry Fee of 5.2 cents being charged to the originating depository financial institution (ODFI).
- Are you proactively working to understand the implications of same-day settlement of debits?
- Are you wondering how much of an issue stale-dated entries could be upon Phase 2 implementation?
The impacts from Phase 2 can be significant to you and your customers, especially if you and your staff aren’t educated or prepared well in advance.
Attend this Same Day ACH webinar as we discuss how Same Day Debits will affect your institution and what you should begin to do now to ready your organization for this dramatic change.
