ATMIA, in partnership with the EFTA, is proud to present the 2008 Payments Fraud in the Americas: Trends and Countermeasures! ATMIA is dedicated to enhancing and protecting the integrity of the global payment system. The ATMIA Security in the Americas Conference Series demonstrates our commitment by providing forums where you can learn to better navigate the risks of the ever evolving global payments environment.

An additional element of ATMIA's holistic approach to securing the integrity of the payment system, is our partnership with the EFTA. The EFTA is able to provide the best balance of knowledge sharing and an opportunity to collaborate with government and administrative agencies that regulate and govern the electronic payments industry.

As an attendee, you will hear from leading industry and government experts on the best practices and solutions currently available for managing risk. The program will also offer discussions and workshops to foster communication with industry colleagues and the sharing of practical strategies that will help your organization optimize the balance between business opportunity and fraud management.
