Intelligence as defence: Sharing threat intelligence to fight financial threats

Fraudsters have perfected collaboration, coordinating networks, and pooling resources to exploit vulnerabilities, resulting in large-scale, sophisticated attacks. Despite heavy investments in security, financial institutions remain vulnerable if they operate in isolation. With global financial crime losses exceeding $2 trillion last year, it’s clear that the challenge isn’t just stopping isolated threats – it’s about forming strategic partnerships to close security gaps. Cyberattacks are evolving, and no organisation can face these threats alone. Threat intelligence sharing among banks, fintechs, and other financial entities is now essential for staying ahead of cybercriminals, reducing risks, and preventing both financial loss and reputational damage.

This whitepaper explores why threat intelligence sharing is crucial and highlights how collaboration can strengthen security. Leveraging a proactive, deterministic approach to fraud prevention can make a real difference in combating evolving threats. 

Key takeaways include:

  • The critical need for threat intelligence sharing to combat financial threats effectively
  • Key drivers of collaboration and how they enhance security within financial institutions
  • The impact of regulatory frameworks in encouraging and facilitating intelligence sharing
  • How technology transforms threat intelligence from reactive measures to proactive defence
  • Strategies to overcome barriers to collaboration, such as privacy concerns and competition

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.
