Your focus should be on business growth, not wondering if your next check is a fraud
Join us for an August in-person event at Serendipity Labs with Zach Scheeler and Kayla Lowrey from Associated Bank

As a small business owner, your focus should be on growth – not on whether your next email or check is a trap.
Join Kayla Lowrey, Branch Manager, and Zach Scheeler, Senior Small Business Banking Relationship Manager, for Associated Bank for an essential session designed to safeguard your small business from evolving financial threats. Solo operations often lack the dedicated security departments of larger corporations, causing them to be a primary target for sophisticated fraudsters. In this session, they'll help bridge that gap with actionable bank-level insights.
What the session will cover:
- Identifying Red Flags: learn to spot sophisticated phishing, invoice fraud, and social engineering tactics.
- The Anatomy of Check & Wire Fraud: learn the common schemes – from “check washing’ to business email compromise.
- Pro-Tip’s: If you suspect you’ve been targeted the first 24 hours are critical. We’ll discuss how to engage with your financial institution immediately to mitigate potential losses.
- Recovery Roadmap: Exactly what to do if you suspect your data or accounts have been compromised.
Stay Protected. Stay Focused. Stay in business.
