A letter of thanks from your shareholders for Fifth Third Bank’s Leadership in Project Umbra

‍

As Fifth Third Bank shareholders and a network committed to fighting human trafficking and child sexual exploitation, we are writing to express our appreciation for Fifth Third Bank's Enterprise Financial Crimes Compliance's (EFCC) leadership in pioneering Project Umbra with The Knoble. Fifth Third Bank's EFCC helped create a common framework for identifying suspicious activity that would otherwise remain hidden within the global financial system.

‍
This effort marks a transformative step in safeguarding children at scale and will bolster federal, state and local law enforcement investigations against those that seek to victimize children.

‍
We applaud Fifth Third Bank's dedication to ensuring that the financial sector reflects the highest standards of human rights. By collaborating with the Child Rescue Coalition, The Knoble Network, and law enforcement, Fifth Third Bank has helped formulate a cohesive strategy to detect and expose illicit transactions across the financial landscape.

‍
We appreciate Fifth Third Bank's willingness to lead by example rather than wait for others to act. Your success is now driving new engagement by other financial institutions, and we hope your example will spur countless banks to do the same. Fifth Third Bank's efforts to disrupt predatory networks not only protect children but also strengthen the integrity of the entire financial industry. We also believe these efforts strengthen Fifth Third Bank's long-term value, reduce significant reputational risks, and reflect the values of your global customer base and the broader community.

‍
We support these efforts and encourage Fifth Third Bank to continue advancing meaningful, scalable solutions to combat exploitation.

‍

Sincerely,

Wesley Lyons
