NJBankers Partners with NJ Coalition Against Human Trafficking for banker-focused webinar
NJBankers recently partnered with the NJ Coalition Against Human Trafficking to offer our members a complimentary Train the Trainer webinar. Over 100 bankers attended the webinar, which was geared toward BSA and retail banking professionals.
Led by a trafficking survivor who has expertise in training, policy and anti-money laundering, participants gained insights into financial exploitation, human trafficking red flags, how financial professionals can detect and help prevent human trafficking-related fraud, as well as ways to support survivors.
This was an impactful event and we look forward to bringing you more programming that supports your institution and your team.
