The Credit Union Association of New Mexico has added Rippleshot to its lineup of collaboration partners, giving New Mexico credit unions access to proactive tools for detecting and stopping fraud before it reaches their members.
The association supports credit union success across New Mexico through advocacy, education, and collaboration. Fraud prevention is already part of that effort through the association’s Stop Fraud NM initiative, which helps New Mexico credit unions educate members about scams ranging from imposter calls to employment schemes and romance scams. The addition of Rippleshot extends that commitment to the institutional side of the fight, giving credit unions tools to identify fraud before it reaches a member. For credit unions, that kind of support can matter because fraud response often requires both member education and internal detection capabilities, especially as scam tactics continue to evolve.
“Fighting fraud is a multi-faceted endeavor. Rippleshot will give our credit unions one more tool to use to keep the over one million New Mexican credit union members safer from frauds and scams,” said Melia D. Heimbuck, President and CEO of Credit Union Association of New Mexico.
Through the partnership, New Mexico credit unions gain access to Rippleshot’s Fraud Interceptor and Fraud Intelligence Collective, providing fraud teams with a proactive way to detect threats early and a network of peers to consult when something appears unusual. That combination of technology and shared intelligence reflects how financial institutions increasingly approach fraud prevention: not as a single tool, but as a layered process that pairs monitoring with coordination.
“It’s easy to talk about protecting members in the abstract, but the Association’s team never lost sight of the fact that there’s a real person behind every one of the more than a million New Mexicans their credit unions serve. That perspective shaped how we approached this partnership and we’re looking forward to giving their credit unions a real edge against the fraud coming at those members,” said Nalani Brown, VP of Operations at Rippleshot.
