Financial advisors do not have to become cybersecurity experts. Identity protection services (IDPS) providers specialize in identity fraud prevention, and many such companies offer turnkey solutions. “Financial advisors could do a much better job of partnering with identity protection services providers, or at the very least recommending them to their clients,” Tracy K., Director of Fraud and Security at Javelin Strategy & Research said. “Portfolio planning should always include identity protection for the entire family.” Read more: https://ow.ly/TzJy50SL2Sc #fraud #cybersecurity #scams #wealthmanagement

Luxury sports cars and cryptocurrency naturally share a market among wealthy, status-conscious individuals. Ferrari is capitalizing on that connection by announcing it will accept bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies at its European dealerships starting this month. The Italian automaker began accepting bitcoin and crypto payments at its U.S. dealers last year. But Europe, the Middle East, and Africa remain its largest market, with more than 1,500 cars sold there in Q1 2024, compared to just under 1,000 in the Americas. Ferrari plans to expand the bitcoin payment option to all of its dealers worldwide by the end of this year. Read more: https://ow.ly/yjFZ50SKnLY #crypto #cryptocurrency #bitcoin #payments

Home buyers frequently send wire transfers to cover down payments and closing costs in real estate transactions. These transfers handle significant sums, close quickly, and settle irrevocably, making them prime targets for cybercriminals. Losses from real estate wire fraud rose from $9 million in 2015 to $446.1 million in 2022, according to the Federal Bureau of Investigation. Criminals constantly test the systems of law firms, mortgage brokers, and realtors involved in real estate transactions, seeking any data they can use to manipulate home buyers.

The continued use of paper checks exposes companies to fraud risk as well. More than 80% of organizations still accept paper checks, and more than 90% still use checks to make payments. The Financial Crimes Enforcement Network reported in 2021 there were 350,000 cases of check fraud, and that number rose to 680,000 cases in 2023. “It’s so susceptible,” Ryan Clayton, Director of Solution Consulting at Bottomline said. “Once that paper instrument leaves a company’s hands it’s out in the wide-open world. It may seem like something out of the Wild West, but the United States Postal Service has had postal carriers held up at gunpoint, and what they’re really looking for are business checks. If they find one, there’s no tracking it. It’s gone.” Read more: https://lnkd.in/edvb53hc #payments #fraud #checks #fraudmitigation #fraudprevention

Facing a continuing rise in fraud and fraud attempts against financial institutions, Nacha has announced new rules to help organizations mitigate these risks. These new rules will take time to implement, so institutions should begin preparing now rather than waiting until the rules go into effect. Brian Holbrook, Director of Product Strategy and Integrated Solutions at LSEG Risk Intelligence, spoke with Elisa Athonvarangkul Tavilla, Director of Debit at Javelin Strategy & Research, about how to prepare for the changes and ultimately reduce the success rates of fraudulent activities. They explained how the new rules provide institutions an opportunity to rethink their entire approach to the ever-evolving nature of fraud.

The amount of credit card debt U.S. consumers have accrued is now $1.3 trillion and rising, but some states have more debt than others. Consumers in Alaska have the highest credit card debt, according to data from WalletHub, with a median amount of $3,859 per person. Given the state’s average monthly credit card payment of $259, it would take over a year and a half for the average person in Alaska to pay off their bill. They would also incur $635 in interest along the way. Read more: https://ow.ly/RpoU50SJqoY #payments #creditcards #debt #credit #delinquency
