H.R.____, the Bank Fraud Technology Advancement Act of 2026: This discussion draft directs the Federal banking agencies to conduct an interagency study on how advanced technologies — including artificial intelligence, machine learning, predictive analytics, behavioral biometrics, and distributed ledger monitoring tools — are being used to detect and prevent financial fraud, with a focus on challenges faced by community banks and credit unions under $10 billion in assets. 3. H.R.____, the Scrutinizing Transactions for Overt Payment Fraud (STOP Fraud) Act of 2026: This discussion draft adds flexibility to the Expedited Funds Availability Act to allow financial institutions to slow down the availability of funds when financial institutions suspect fraud and scams. ___________________________________ #fdic #financialservices #bank #treasury #GrammLeachBlileyAct #trump #fdic ___________________________________ Hearing page: https://democrats-financialservices.house.gov/events/eventsingle.aspx?EventID=415214
