History[edit]
In 1978, a group of credit card investigators and law enforcement professionals organized and formed the Association of Fraud Investigators (AFIA), expanding in 1982 to the International Association of Fraud Investigators (IFIA). In 2001, our membership recognized the ever- changing fraud landscape of financial fraud and the need to communicate sensitive information in a secure environment. Several important changes were made and the organization was renamed the International Trust and Fraud Intervention Association (INTFIA).
