12:00 pm - 1:00 pm ESTThis session examines the accountholder’s litigation toolkit for recovering fraudulent wire transfer losses from originating and beneficiary banks, with emphasis on the EFTA–Article 4A boundary dispute currently before the Second Circuit in New York v. Citibank, N.A. Attorneys will learn how to evaluate and plead EFTA versus UCC Article 4A theories, attack the bank’s commercially reasonable security procedure defense under § 4A-202, and navigate the beneficiary bank privity and knowledge-standard problems crystallized by the Fourth Circuit’s Studco decision. Attendees will leave with a framework for first-72-hour client counseling, claim selection, and discovery targeting in wire fraud recovery matters.
John E. LandeBrennan Eddie 1:10 pm - 2:10 pm ESTThis session examines the bank-side defenses to wire fraud liability, focusing on the UCC Article 4A commercially reasonable security procedure safe harbor, the actual-knowledge standard confirmed by the Fourth Circuit in Studco v. 1st Advantage FCU, and the existential threat posed by the EFTA-Article 4A boundary dispute now pending before the Second Circuit in NYAG v. Citibank. Attorneys will analyze how Nacha’s Phase 1 and Phase 2 fraud monitoring rules (effective March and June 2026) create a new compliance floor that functions as litigation evidence of reasonableness or inadequacy. Attendees will leave with a practical framework for advising financial institution clients on safe harbor preservation, compliance posture under the new Nacha rules, and litigation strategy under either outcome in the pending Second Circuit decision.
