NJBankers will offer its members services from Identity Theft 911, a leading identity management and data breach resolution services provider. The services include LifeStages™ Identity Management, data breach services, Total 911® and credit monitoring products.

The agreement comes at a critical time when identity theft is the fastest-growing crime in the United States. New Jersey ranks No. 12 among states with the highest per capita rate of reported identity theft complaints, according to a recent report from the Federal Trade Commission.

"These services will help our members deal with the ongoing threats of identity theft and data breach," said NJBankers Co-President/Co-CEO John E. McWeeney, Jr. "They'll provide our members with access to highly trained fraud specialists and help them meet regulatory requirements in the event of a suspected or actual breach."

Millions of American businesses must comply with a patchwork of data protection and breach notification laws in nearly 50 jurisdictions, as well as the FTC's Red Flags Rule, which goes into effect this summer, said Adam Levin, chairman and founder of Identity Theft 911, and former Director of the New Jersey Division of Consumer Affairs.

"These services are not only critical to protecting consumers, but also essential to the compliance obligations of every business," Levin said. "A failure to comply has potentially dire consequences: loss of reputation, loss of consumer trust, loss of partner confidence and potentially extinction-level financial consequences."

Identity Theft 911 specialists provide white-glove service to victims from the initial call for help until the case is resolved. Their expertise covers a range of issues, from true identity theft to account takeovers and protective measures during every stage of a person's life. They work one-on-one with victims and are available 24 hours a day, seven days a week until resolution is complete.
