Just Released: Nacha's voting membership approved 15 revisions to the Nacha Operating Rules. Most of the changes focus on reducing the incidence of frauds, such as #BusinessEmailCompromise (BEC), that make use of credit-push payments. While the new rules do not shift the liability for #ACH payments, for the first time, receiving financial institutions (RDFIs) will have a defined role in monitoring the ACH payments they receive. “All participants in the ACH Network have a part to play in reducing the incidence of fraud, and recovering when fraud has occurred,” said Jane Larimer, Nacha President and CEO. Stay tuned for additional communication from UMACHA, including webinars, to help break down the changes to ensure you understand your obligations within the #ACHNetwork.

Postbank's Comedy of Errors: How to Lose R100 Million in a Year www.fundityres.co.za In a plot twist that would make even the most daring #heistmovie scriptwriters blush, a KPMG forensic report has revealed a criminal syndicate's audacious theft of over R100 million from #Postbank in just one year. The sophisticated scam involved hacking and cloning #SASSA accounts, with an unknown number of Postbank employees allegedly channeling their inner #OceansEleven. Once funds were loaded onto cards and PINs reset, 'runners' made thousands of #ATM withdrawals across the country, giving new meaning to the term #CardioExercise.   The syndicate could even unblock frozen cards suspected of #fraud, proving they had the keys to Postbank's digital kingdom. KPMG investigators pointed to weak oversight and poor #ITcontrols at the state-owned bank, making it about as easy to track down the culprits as finding a needle in a haystack. This #insiderfraud case is a reminder that when it comes to #fraudprevention, sometimes laughter really is the best medicine. #FundiTyres
