Faster Payments are booming, but they are also fuelling a huge rise in authorised push payment (APP) fraud. In response, the UK’s Payment Systems Regulator (PSR) has introduced a shared reimbursement model, which splits liability 50/50 between the sending and receiving organisations.
This liability puts a new onus on payment service providers (PSPs) to monitor both outgoing and incoming payments for risk signals. It also significantly increases the risk that fraudulent accounts pose to organisations. Failure to adequately prepare for both of these challenges could result in a significant increase in fraud rates, APP fraud losses and reputational damage to your business.
