Banksafe safeguards against exploitation

PREVENT AND FIGHT EXPLOITATION. BECOME BANK_SAFE _TODAY! The Bank_Safe _training platform (PDF) launches its pilot phase in May 2018. Participating financial institutions will be among the

first to complete the training that improves how financial institutions serve some of their most valuable customers: older Americans. Bank_Safe _empowers frontline employees to identify red

flags for financial exploitation and develop skills to ensure older Americans are not defrauded out of their hard-earned money.  AARP has partnered with a leader in digital learning and

instructional design and collaborated with more than 200 bank and credit union experts to develop Bank_Safe_. This first-of-its-kind course is free, interactive and self-paced. Designed with

the frontline-user in mind, the BankSafe training: * Includes interactive modules, real-life scenarios and fun games to test skills; * Provides short, bite-size education and training

activities; and * Allows users to train and monitor their progress at their own pace. In addition to obtaining early access to this robust training, the financial institutions participating

in the Bank_Safe _pilot will also be participating in a study to measure the course's effectiveness and impact. THE BANK_SAFE_ PILOT IS CURRENTLY UNDERWAY IN THE FOLLOWING STATES: AZ,

exploitation and keep retirement savings safe. The average financial exploitation victim loses $120,000-almost the average amount of a 50 year old’s entire retirement savings. So it is not

surprising that four out of five older consumers cite fighting exploitation as a motivator in choosing their financial institution. BankSafe has ignited a movement that mobilizes the

financial services frontlines to protect Older Americans and their savings-before the money leaves the account. BANKSAFE OVERVIEW (PDF) THE BUSINESS CASE:  WHY FINANCIAL INSTITUTIONS SHOULD
