The Real View !

3

External Fraud Forces of Nature y We have systems, controls and alert mechanisms. y We manage loss. y We exchange intelligence globally. y We exercise balance wherever possible.

We will always have exposure to fraud risk, due to powerful external influences. The key is to manage well, but without impacting client.

4

Internal Fraud Within the current economic climate, have your process controls been checked ?

Do you know the danger that lies beneath the waves ?

5

Internal Fraud Controlled Risk There will always be an exposure to internal fraud, you will have internal controls Why a bigger issue now ? y Income and bonuses down. Employment Loyalty Reduced. Susceptibility to approach. y Internal controls and procedures weak, due to cutbacks and staff reductions. No HR background checks or segregated control responsibilities, mobile phones in secure areas, no two-key systems. So far in 2009….. y x1 arrest and prosecution of a client employee for serious fraud. y x1 arrest for serious drugs trafficking using business travel as cover. y x3 under misconduct investigation, for personal spend.

6

Programme Structure Controlled Risk Controlling Corporate spend, is just as important as preventing fraud. Think carefully about what our products are used for. y Do you have the right card for the right purpose? – Corporate Card (T+E) for Travel and “walking” cards. – Purchasing Card for Business to Business – Dept or CTA (Central Travel Account) type card spending. – “One Card” - a mix of both Corporate Card and Purchasing Card.

y Why Use Different Cards for Travel Spend ? – A business traveler uses their Corporate Card to get them from location A to B. – A travel agent purchases multiple flights, hotels and organise conferences. You may expect the travel agent to have a CTA Card/Diversion Accounts and obtain discounts on volume spend or ensure your corporate preferred airline is booked. A frequent traveller would benefit from a diversion account, allowing his credit limit to be managed more effectively.

7

Programme Structure Controlled Risk Fraud management can be less intrusive, if a client has a clear policy and structure. We wish we could control fraud like a TV remote ! But it can be made easier………. y Make some very clear and simple rules. y No Personal Spend is allowed and explain why. (limited consumer protection on goods, secondary taxation, etc.,) y Place a formal document on your intranet site to increase policy awareness. y Back up the policy with adequate disciplinary action as a consequence of misuse. y Use Citi data resources to support you and review merchant (MCC code) spend. y Be suspicious of late expenses, which can later become a “dispute”. y

8

Cards used in non-Corporate areas, risk compromise at a greater level.

Fraud Management You need a “Fraud Manager” to act effectively. y From your plan, we now know: – Your destination from your product selection, which will help us to help you operate effectively. – The selected course is a safe route for both of us. – We can train your cardholders about managing unexpected situations. – They have confidence in our Product and Support Services – Our constant investment / innovation in technology to support client needs and service levels is delivered seamlessly.

9

Known Scams y The “Known” Phishing Scams – The bank security check email / call – Update your details email The New “Spear-Phishing” – The email from a “friend” – The Local Authority / Govt., email – The Employment Agency email Upcoming Hacking – Home P.C. Take Over (Trojans) – Telephone taping (Homes) – Man in the middle – Facade PC screens (Token Hijack and false screens). – Malware on mobile phones.

Citi doesn’t like me

Fraudsters are creative, take advantage of weakness and have no regulatory constraints.

11

2010 Global Hot Spots The following areas and events will be monitored closely during 2010 to avoid fraud loss. y

South Africa – Already a high counterfeit skimming country – World Cup in July.

y

Australia / Thailand / Europe Popular backpackers destination for students from both Europe and Asia. More students and post-grads will be travelling due to the recession – no job, so travel ! Temptation to supplement spending money with cards will be high.

y

Commonwealth Games, India Increasingly a counterfeit destination for purchasing Telecoms goods. Their domestic web protection system is easy to manage, but it means more merchants are managing liability shift to protect themselves.

y

12

Winter Olympics, Vancouver - Not a big fraud event, but it draws our attention to North America !

USA 2010 y

During 2010, Mexico and Canada will adopt Chip and PIN. This will improve services to our cardholders, but fraud risk in the USA will increase.

y

13

The US has no plans to implement Chip and PIN and therefore we will be vigilant in 2010, monitoring non-business spending that may actually be counterfeit fraud.

y

Cardholders will find it difficult to believe, that the USA is such a high-risk zone, that maintaining Customer Service versus Risk, will become a challenge for us in 2010.

y

Education and training will be our central area of focus in 2010 and contact with cardholders is paramount.

Fraud Partnership and Prevention

y Partner with Citi to leverage Citi’s Fraud prevention expertise. y Citi can assist you in training and in your product design. y Work with you to ensure your card program transactions do not appear on the “fraud radar”. y Do you have a Specialist Department, Product Buyers or senior executives who travel frequently? – Citi can organise additional training – regular conference calls – discuss new methods for supporting your cardholders whether they travel around the block, or around the world.

14

Fraud Partnership and Prevention With so many telephone and email scams, how can we warn our cardholders, or contact them ? y Education – We always ask cardholders to contact their local Service Centre. (number on the reverse of the card) y We call and email, so please do not be alarmed – We will identify ourselves. y Citi needs to be able to reach cardholders, their assistants, or PA’s, as soon as possible to protect the cardholder y It is difficult for both Client and Citi in these situations, but if we can request a call to us, they know they are in touch with the correct people. y Together with you, Citi Fraud Specialists: – Help you to mitigate risk – Reduce declines – Support your cardholders during a fraud episode – Can work with you to prevent fraud from occurring again

15

Future Events - Verified by Visa/SecureCode y Like Chip and Pin, this online password security system is being installed around the world. y You just need a password at checkout when you shop online y Not currently applicable to US cards y India is currently “live” and we have plans to roll out this capability to other Asia Pacific countries. y Look for these logos on merchant websites

16

ATM Skimming—What is a Suspicious Device? y What is “skimming”? – Any terminal that reads and copies your magnetic stripe – A false cover over an ATM card insert slot, or a waiter with a small machine in his hand y Why steal your card when an extra swipe with a small hand-held device will create a copy and you will not report any loss? y A skimmer pulls the data from your card, giving the thief all the information needed to make a counterfeit card. A skimmer can hold card data from hundreds of cards. This information can be downloaded into a computer and e-mailed anywhere in the world y Remember this applies to business cards not just to personal cards y Do you ever check unmanned machines, before you use them ?

Fraud Prevention Practical Tips y Never let your credit card or debit card out of your sight y Rigorously check your monthly card billing statements y Contact Citi immediately if there are unrecognized transactions on your statement y Do not throw away card receipts (check against your statement) y Never leave your cards in an unlocked desk or drawer y Be careful when providing card information (such as PIN number or passwords) to another person y
