HSBC UK is extending its programme of fraud prevention webinars for mortgage intermediaries after a series of sessions held during the second quarter.

The lender has confirmed that its CPD-accredited fraud webinars will continue throughout Q3, providing brokers with guidance on identifying and preventing mortgage fraud.

The sessions will cover the latest fraud trends, recognising suspicious mortgage applications, interpreting CIFAS alerts and identifying potential warning signs within cases. HSBC said the webinars will also examine emerging risks, strategies to protect customers and ways for firms to maintain compliance while safeguarding their businesses.

The programme is designed to help intermediaries strengthen their understanding of financial crime risks and improve their confidence when assessing applications.

Three webinars have been scheduled for the third quarter. The first will take place on 14 July at 11am, followed by a second session on 19 August at 10am. A third webinar is scheduled for 7 September at 2pm.

Each webinar will last approximately 45 minutes. HSBC said attendees must register individually and attend the session in order to receive a CPD certificate.

The webinars are being delivered by HSBC UK’s intermediary risk team.
