4 out of 5 APAC Banks Have Seen Their Fraud Losses Increase

Hong Kong, China -- (SBWire) -- 11/18/2021 --The costs of financial crime continue to rise globally and it often falls to institutions in the banking and financial services sector to bear the brunt of the financial loss. Fraudulent transactions at financial industry organisations can have a huge impact on everything, from business continuity to reputation and share price, whether that fraud is internal or external. Not only that but fraud is on the rise thanks to the wide range of availability of near-instant payment platforms. One survey found that four out of five APAC banks have seen their fraud losses increase. Plus, 22% expect fraud to spike significantly over the coming 12 months. Real-time payment technology is at the heart of the problem, as it provides no time for banks to clear transactions or payments - this is clearly an area where mitigation of risk and advances in technology need a little time to realign.
