Innovate Finance is delighted to launch our latest report on “A Technology Strategy to Smash Fraud”, which was produced in collaboration with FinTech and financial services firms. Read the Report here 🔗 https://lnkd.in/diDkTVK7 Read the Press Release here 🔗 https://lnkd.in/dBCrbMtb 📄 We previously called on the government to make the UK the safest place in the world for consumers and businesses to use digital finance in our FinTech Plan for Government. The government has heeded our call by announcing that they are seeking input into a new expanded fraud strategy. With a foreword by Luke Charters MP, A Technology Strategy to Smash Fraud sets out detailed proposals to halve payments fraud in the UK by 2028: 👉 Create a National Anti Fraud Centre for cross-sector data sharing 👉 Introduce shared liability for social media and telecommunications firms There is a need to scale-up, connect and industrialise our approach to data sharing because current initiatives do not have the critical mass to crush organised fraud. Our report explores how a National Anti Fraud Centre can bring these data sharing initiatives together and harness them to ensure that there is coordinated effort across all sectors including law enforcement and government. Introducing shared liability is also necessary as 77% of all authorised push payment (APP) fraud cases originate online. Big Tech, social media and telecommunications firms must be incentivised to do more in protecting users by requiring them to pay a share of reimbursing victims of APP fraud. 🚨This is critical to the government's mission in creating a safer Britain that is free from threats including fraud. 🤝 Our policy team is keen to engage with firms and stakeholders across the ecosystem on barriers to growth for payments firms, improvements needed to the regulatory regime and anti-fraud solutions that RegTech firms have to offer. 📩 Get in touch via policy@innovatefinance.com Adam Jackson | Christopher Foo | Andy Thornley | Michael Carter | Megan Jenkins #FinTech #FinTechPolicy #VoiceOfFinTech #StopScams #PaymentFraud #FraudStrategy
