WASHINGTON—The CFPB will host a webinar on April 9 to provide additional insights to its recent report on elder financial abuse.
As CUToday.info reported, the report revealed the number of elder financial exploitation (EFE) suspicious activity reports (SARs) filed by financial institutions quadrupled between 2013 and 2017.
The report provides insights to key facts, trends and patterns revealed in 180,000 EFE SARs analyzed by the Bureau. Read the full report here.
The Bureau is encouraging financial institutions, law enforcement, prosecution, adult protective services, the aging network and others to participate in the webinar, which will detail the key facts, trends and patterns revealed by the SARs, as well as their implications and next steps, NAFCU reported.
Registration for the webinar is available here. It is scheduled for 2 p.m. E.T. April 9.
