Dear Community Partner:

As a direct service provider and community educator/advocate, you already know that your clients regularly embrace new mobile technology, whether for communicating, being entertained, or conducting routine transactions—from shopping online, to splitting the dinner bill with friends, to checking out at the grocery store.

Because the use of mobile payments has grown so much in recent years and because these payments don't come with the same consumer protections as traditional payment forms, Consumer Action invites you to learn more during our free, 90-minute webinar, "Digital Payment Apps: Know your rights and protect your wallet."

Webinar speakers include John Breyault, vice president of public policy, telecommunications and fraud at National Consumers League; Stephanie Landry, strategic lead for digital finance at Consumer Reports; and Vikram Jagadish, trial attorney for the Federal Trade Commission.

The webinar will explore:

  • How the use of digital payment apps has expanded in recent years and what it means for consumer financial health;
  • The pros and cons of using peer-to-peer payment apps;
  • What we can learn from new research on the safety, privacy and security of payment apps and digital wallets;
  • How risks related to mobile payment app usage can be mitigated, and how lawmakers and regulators can better protect consumers;
  • Common digital payment scams and tips for helping consumers who experience consumer fraud; and
  • Resources to help consumers take advantage of digital payments' convenience without sacrificing security.

DATE/TIME: Thursday, September 4, at 10 a.m. PT (11 a.m. MT; noon CT; 1 p.m. ET)

We look forward to your participation!

Sincerely,
