Fasten your seat belts, being defrauded and blamed for it is coming for you! It appears the UK is at sixes and sevens in tackling cyber/digital crime on bank accounts with faster payments. There are few court convictions, and blaming bank account owners generally take the blame.

Faster payment bank fraud, where the fraudster must have a bank account, like COVID, requires a programme to put a stop to the APP Fraud epidemic.

The Netherlands, where 99% of payments are made after the true owner of the bank account (Confirmation of Payee: CoP) is verified, APP Fraud has dropped 80% since 2017. They are now using confirmation of payee on international payments for France and Germany.

Curious Resistance takes you through scams affecting 250,000 people per year, unintentional consequences of regulations, causing higher rather than a lower risk of attack and the need to reshape cyber/digital environment by putting an end to APP fraud with prevention programmes.
