The blurred lines of liability – how can all players in the digital ecosystem work together to put a stop to financial fraud?

The ubiquitous adoption of digital technologies and a huge uplift in e-commerce has resulted in unprecedented levels of online financial fraud. The UK alone saw a 71% increase from 2020 to 2021 with £583 million in APP fraud losses, while the US experienced a 70% increase in fraud losses within a year, totalling at $5.8 billion.

The pressure to safeguard consumers and develop robust cross-sector fraud prevention strategies is mounting. So, how can banks and big tech work together to tackle this issue and take liability for the part they play in online fraud? Could the ‘’Polluter Pays’’ principle balance the liability scales?  What other models would acknowledge the complexity of the digital landscape and offer fraud protection strategy fit for the digital future?

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.
