the majority of counterfeits were of higher dollar denominations. American Express has issued this
new advisory as a means of reminding institutions about the authorization solutions
currently available and to clarify the valid denominations for Gift Cheques and Travelers Cheques. For more information, please contact

The Internal Fraud Prevention Service launched on August 1, 2006
In development for several years, this outstanding new service is due to an unprecedented collaborative effort between internal fraud investigators,
human resources groups, legal counsel and risk professionals from across the financial services spectrum. Members of the BITS Shared Database Working Group
helped develop and pilot the concept of this service. The service enables institutions to screen employment candidates against a shared database of former
financial services employees who were released for cause due to fraudulent acts committed against the institution. A group of participating financial
institutions has begun to implement the solution and is jump-starting the service by contributing three years of historical data. For more information, please

Tony Selway at tselway@primarypayments.com.
