• Online banking – this includes attacks where personal information is obtained through phishing emails, e-wallet UK, or websites; and
• Bank transfer includes transfers that go through automated clearing houses (ACH) systems such as Faster Payments Service (FPS).

Why the Report Matters for Businesses

Payment fraud is an area of the financial services industry that has received increased attention over the last five years. It is a serious problem that costs businesses and consumers billions of pounds each year.

Payment fraud is when criminals steal money or other assets by using fraudsters in the supply chain to obtain payment details. The criminals then use this information to make payments or pay for other goods and services. The victim of payment fraud loses money and often has no way of recovering it.

The Annual Fraud Report 2022 by UK Finance is a valuable resource for businesses. It provides an overview of fraud activity and trends and analyses the impact on business operations. The report also highlights how companies can remain protected from financial crime by adopting a robust approach to security management.
