Bank customers, in vulnerable circumstances, include those with mental capacity issues (e.g., a learning disability or a mental illness as well as those suffering dementia or Alzheimer’s disease) and those experiencing high levels of stress (e.g., transitioning bereavement, divorce or unemployment). In this mini lecture, we focus on older banking customers. The prevalence of elder financial exploitation is described in a recent SEC white paper as a `burgeoning public health crisis’ and a `virtual epidemic’. We illustrate using AI in proprietorial bank data how to mitigate their susceptibility to financial abuse. We also discuss the scale and relevance of elder financial exploitation. Financial institutions are uniquely placed to identify older people who are at risk of financial abuse. They serve on the front lines in protecting their older customers’ finances, and with assistance of AI based technologies can play a key role in helping to identify, prevent and report suspected elder financial exploitation. The event will give you the opportunity to sample a typical lecture on our Operational Risk Management Programme at level 9. Professional Diploma in Advanced Operational Risk Management in Financial Services This programme will equip participants with a deep, practical understanding of operational risk management frameworks and measurement methodologies in financial institutions. This qualification is the benchmark operational risk qualification recognised in the Irish financial services industry.
