It had its origins in the Irish Banks Standing Committee which had operated as the industry’s voice since 1922.

This morning, our CEO @Brian Hayes was delighted to participate in the European Banking Federation panel discussion “Collaboration to fight fraud in payments and Better Protect Citizens” which was kindly hosted by Morten Løkkegaard. Banks have a clear role to play in preventing fraud, a commitment which the industry takes very seriously through a range of measures both at industry level and within each individual institution. To effectively combat fraud, some of the measures EU policymakers should consider in the EU’s new Payment Services regulation are: Collaboration: The financial services sector is the last line of defence on fraud but should not be the only line of defence. It is crucial to address the source and prevent scams from reaching consumers in the first place. Further cross collaboration work is needed and at a much larger scale with internet providers and social media companies. They have a significant role to play in blocking fraudulent websites, monitoring network traffic and taking down fake advertisements. Education and Awareness Campaigns: Through BPFI we have established a cross-industry education and awareness campaign called Fraudsmart where we regularly educate consumers on identifying fraud attempts, with a special focus on emerging threats like impersonation fraud and social engineering scams. Information Sharing: Key part to tackling fraud is for the industry to be able to share fraud information. Enabling collaboration and sharing of information about known fraudsters, fraud schemes and emerging trends allows the industry to act in real time and prevent the fraud from taking place. The benefit of a shared fraud database extends beyond prevention. It assists law enforcement to investigate and prosecute more effectively and protects customers who believe their identities may have been compromised. Thanks to fellow panellists Adine Wempe-Kalff, Maria Abascal and Agustín Reyna for the interesting discussion.

New research published today by BPFI, shows that less than a third (28%) of mortgage customers have considered switching in the past year, only about one in three (34%) have looked for information on mortgage rates available in the past six months, while only 27% have researched mortgage products available in the market. This research was published, in conjunction with BPFI mortgage lending members, as industry launches nationwide awareness and information campaign. Find out more on https://bit.ly/4f2jOwC
