CrimeDex is an online network and alert system leveraged by thousands of fraud, loss prevention, and law enforcement professionals collaborating to prevent loss from complex financial crimes, organized retail crime, etc. CrimeDex allows professionals to share, search and leverage relevant information on criminal acts and subjects between businesses and law enforcement.
Oklahoma formerly relied on the COCHA/EPCOR Alert Service or email distribution groups to communicate alert information. The COCHA/Epcor Alert system concluded in 2022. Email distribution groups are difficult to manage and do not retain information in a searchable database. Within CrimeDex, however, we have a designated group for Oklahoma. When an event occurs at your bank, you can elect to distribute the alert information nationwide or only in Oklahoma.
To encourage membership and participation for the benefit of all Oklahoma banks, OBA and CrimeDex are offering a one-time-only discounted subscription rate to OBA-member banks who are not currently subscribed. This special offer reduces CrimeDex membership to $119.40 for a one-year subscription ending April 30, 2027. This offer does not apply to banks who are already subscribed to CrimeDex services. For new subscribers accepting this one-time offer, if you choose to continue your subscription after April 30, 2027, you will be invoiced at the regular subscription rate (currently $199/year).
A recent alert published on April 8 involving check fraud resulted in responses leading to the positive identification of the suspect by the very next day. Without this additional information, the case file would reflect an “unknown suspect” which would cause significant delays in identification and prosecution of the party causing the loss.
If you have an interest in accepting this special offer for new subscribers only, please reply to sharon@oba.com. We will only hold this offer until May 22, so please let us know as soon as possible.
