FFA Fraud Figures: Legal Research & Comment
Ben Regnard-Weinrabe, partner in the Global Banking & Payment Systems practice at law firm Paul Hastings, said:
“Whilst today’s figures from Financial Fraud Action UK (FFA) indicate a 2% increase in financial fraud, the industry appears to be making progress in tackling the problem when one compares the 26% jump in such fraud the previous year. The FFA announcement accompanies the launch of a campaign to increase customer awareness and engagement, which is helpful as customers also have an important role in reducing financial fraud.
“Our ‘The Future of Payments’ research shows that while there continues to be strong growth in new payment methods, with over 19 billion contactless transactions expected by 2026, consumers remain wary of the fraud risks. That said, those risks also exist for traditional payment methods, and providers of new payment methods are often at the vanguard of developing or adopting novel ways of addressing fraud risks, such as the use of tokenisation, which helps drive both product and security innovation.”
