ICBA Letter: In its letter to Hsu, ICBA said community banks are fighting check fraud on the front lines.

In the Media: In a new CNBC report, ICBA’s Scott Anchin discussed check fraud risks and the continued shift to contactless and digital payments. Anchin recently discussed the challenge of check fraud in a MarketWatch article on Target’s decision to stop accepting personal checks.
