Entersekt consumer survey report: Fighting back against mobile banking and payments fraud in Europe

Share this post

Consumers favor financial institutions that offer modern authentication methods to secure their data and transactions

In the first half of 2022, in the UK alone, fraud cost financial institutions (FIs) a whopping £305.2 million. With this rise in sophisticated cyberattacks, banking customers are acutely aware of the need to keep their data safe when transacting online. And while they enjoy the added convenience that mobile banking offers, the scales may be tipping towards security over convenience.

In this report, we examine consumer thinking around how they use mobile banking, the security of their sensitive data, and their authentication preferences around online payments and other digital banking transactions.

A one-size-fits-all authentication approach is out

The report confirms that as consumers grow more comfortable using mobile banking apps, FIs must ensure the user experience is straightforward — building trust and ultimately champions for their institution. Leading banks and credit unions that incorporate the latest authentication technology are listening to their customers’ needs for better security, leading to an increase in app usage and revenue.

A snapshot of important findings:

  • 72% of the respondents use their banking app several times a week.
  • 74% feel secure using their banking app for online banking.
  • 51% are worried about fraud when shopping online.
  • 71% prioritize the security of a transaction over the user experience.

I didn't receive an e-mail

Tip: Check your spam

Sometimes our e-mails end up in spam. Make sure to check your spam folder for e-mails from The Payments Association

Tip: Check “other” tabs

Most modern e-mail clients now separate e-mails into different tabs. For example, Outlook has an “Other” tab, and Gmail has tabs for different types of e-mails, such as promotional.

Tip: Click the link within 60 minutes

For security reasons the link will expire after 60 minutes. Try submitting the login form again and wait a few seconds for the e-mail to arrive.

Tip: Only click once

The link will only work one time – once it’s been clicked, the link won’t log you in again. Instead, you’ll need to go back to the login screen and generate a new link.

Tip: Delete old login e-mails

Make sure you’re clicking the link on the most recent e-mail that’s been sent to you. We recommend deleting the e-mail once you’ve clicked the link.

Tip: Check your security policies

Some security systems will automatically click on links in e-mails to check for phishing, malware, viruses and other malicious threats. If these have been clicked, it won’t work when you try to click on the link.

Need to change your e-mail address?

For security reasons, e-mail address changes can only be complete by your Member Engagement Manager. Please contact the team directly for further help.
