This session will focus on rising threats like check fraud, cyber scams, and ATM snatches, and how Texas banks can partner with the new Houston Field Office of the Texas Financial Crimes Intelligence Center (FCIC) to combat them. Scott Hamilton, Director of Gulf Coast Field Operations, will share how the FCIC’s recent expansion—approved by the Texas Legislature—is bringing new tools and coordination to banks across the region.

You’ll also hear from Bank Leadership Council hosts Lance Ramesh (Citizens State Bank), Guy Barker (First Financial Bank, Montgomery), Tammy Smith (The First State Bank, El Campo), and Cullen Eppright (First Financial Bank, Kingwood) as they lead this candid conversation on the state of the fraud economy and how it’s reshaping financial operations.
