Financial institutions are on the front lines of an unprecedented scam epidemic, yet the very tools designed to help them fight back — Sections 314(a) and 314(b) of the USA PATRIOT Act — are falling short. While scammers move money in real-time, information sharing remains slow, cumbersome, and underutilized.

Join us on October 22 at 10a PT/1p ET for a 45-minute fireside chat with experts who have seen the problem from both sides:

• Matthew O'Neill, a former U.S. Secret Service agent who investigated financial crimes at the federal level

• Jim Hitchcock of the American Bankers Association, who works daily with institutions navigating 314's compliance requirements

• Donna Turner, a thought leader with 30 years of experience in financial services with Bank of America and Early Warning Systems

This isn’t another compliance refresher. This is a solutions-focused conversation about what needs to change — structurally, operationally, and legislatively — to make Section 314 a functional weapon against modern scams.
