On November 14th, Association of Financial Crimes Investigators becomes Midwest Fraud Investigators Network

A different name, but the same commitment to communication and service

In 1982, a group of investigators working for different financial institutions began meeting monthly to discuss the mutual problem of detecting and preventing frauds against their respective institutions.

On January 11, 1984, the Association of Financial Crimes Investigators incorporated and expanded its membership to include individuals representing not only financial institutions but also retail establishments, bank card and credit card companies, check cashing companies, currency exchanges and Federal, State and local law enforcement authorities.

While the Association of Financial Crimes Investigators has grown, our goal continues to focus on the awareness of the existence and socio-economic impact of fraud. Through the organization’s effort to formulate and disseminate ideas and information within its membership, it continues to act against individuals and organizations perpetrating fraud.

After November 14, 2018, the new organization will continue to be guided by these principles and will continue to provide timely information and communication for all our members and others who may work with us.
So join us as we move forward to an interesting and exciting future.
