Professional Business Development - Payment Fraud and Cybersecurity

As a provider of payment services to banks and credit unions, the Federal Reserve seeks to keep the United States’ payments system secure. As part of those efforts, the Federal Reserve works with organizations to speak, not just with banks and credit unions, but with end-users of payments, including businesses of all sizes. The goal of this session is for owners and employees of businesses to have a better understanding of current trends in payments fraud and cybersecurity, and how they can protect themselves against those threats.  This month's seminar is generously brought to us by Guaranty Bank and Trust.

Matt Davies, CTP, AAP, CPP, is an Assistant Vice President at the Federal Reserve Bank of Dallas. He has 21 years of experience in the payments industry, 18 of those with the Federal Reserve Banks. He has also served as ACH & Wire Product Manager for a commercial bank, and as a product manager in the bankcard industry.

A native of St. Louis, Missouri, Matt graduated from William Jewell College in Liberty, Missouri, with a Bachelor of Arts in Political Science and History in 1997, and from the Graduate School of Banking at the University of Wisconsin, Madison, in 2013.
