Be among the first to participate in the training that improves how financial institutions serve some of their most valuable customers: older Americans. BankSafe empowers frontline employees to identify red flags for financial exploitation and develop skills to ensure older Americans are not de - frauded out of their hard-earned money.  AARP has partnered with a leader in digital learning and instructional design and collaborated with more than 200 banks and credit union experts to develop BankSafe. This first-of-its-kind course is free, interactive and self-paced. Designed with the frontline-user inmind, the BankSafe training: • Includes interactive modules, real-life scenarios and fun games to test skills; • Provides short, bite-size education and training activities; and • Allows users to train and monitor their progress at their own pace. The BankSafe pilot is currently underway in the following states: AZ, CA, CO, FL, GA, IL, MN, OH, OR, TN, UT and VT. Learn more at www.aarp.org/banksafe Prevent and Fight Exploitation.
