FinCrime.com is a powerful new online tool to help prevent financial institution fraud, such as check fraud, counterfeit checks, identity fraud, robberies, new account fraud and more.   

This loss-prevention/anti-crime service is another benefit brought to you as a member of the Ohio Credit Union League. To participate, Ohio credit unions must be affiliated with the Ohio Credit Union League.

FinCrime.com is sponsored by the Ohio Credit Union League in cooperation with the Ohio Bankers League and the Ohio Attorney General's Office. Member financial institutions and law enforcement agencies throughout Ohio and eleven other states participate by sharing vital information on-line relating to recently committed or attempted financial institution crimes. 

Stored in FinCrime’s central database, these crime incidences are immediately shared with other participating financial institutions and law enforcement agencies through e-mail alerts and viewing on-line.  The system even permits photos of perpetrators to be uploaded and shared with others. 

FinCrime.com provides the means to share fraudulent activity confidentially and securely, alerting credit union staff usually sooner than they would be able to identify it by themselves.  FinCrime’s sophisticated searching capabilities automatically searches and cross-matches reported crimes, and sends alerts to all involved.  The ability to cross-reference perpetrator’s names, aliases, license plate numbers, identification used, financial instruments used, and many other crime details, allows law enforcement agencies to identify multi-institution perpetrators, aiding in quicker identification, apprehension and prosecution of hard-core criminals. 

Credit unions lose millions of dollars each year to fraud.  Unfortunately, the number and complexity of these crimes increases every year. FinCrime.com can be a vital weapon to reduce these losses.  Your League staff encourages active participation by all Ohio credit unions.  The more participating, the stronger and more effective the network becomes! 

It’s easy to sign up.  Go to www.fincrime.com and complete an online profile, indicating the type of activity and geographic regions you wish to receive e-mail alerts.  Your registration will be forwarded to the League for approval (for security purposes).  Once you receive your approval by e-mail, simply log on to FinCrime.com and review a short on-line user’s guide. 

Ohio credit unions that want more information on FinCrime can call the League’s R&I Department at (800) 486-2917.
