“Given the agility and tenacity demonstrated by fraudsters in 2018, financial institutions should assume that every account type will be under greater pressure going forward. Adequately defending customers from these new security assaults will require the development and adoption of next-generation fraud mitigation strategies.” Jim Johnson, Head of FI Payments, FIS
As the lead sponsor of the recently-released 2019 Javelin ID Fraud Study, FIS shares key findings and takeaways from 5,000 United States consumers about their experiences with financial fraud in 2018.
The good news about fraud is that roughly two million fewer U.S. consumers were impacted by it in 2018 than in 2017. However, higher-impact fraud activity accounted for a larger share of fraud experienced by 14.4 million U.S. consumers and financial institutions.
Reduction in card fraud represents the bright spot and main driver of the decline in the numbers of consumers affected by fraud in 2018. Although the transition to EMV has significantly reduced card fraud, it remains high compared with the time before multiple, prominent breaches opened the gates to a cheap supply of exploitable card data.
As expected, card-not-present (CNP) fraud has grown as fraudsters turned to easier channels to exploit. Initiatives to thwart CNP fraud, specifically 3-D Secure 2.0, hold the promise of further reductions in fraud associated with cards this year.
Less encouraging is the resurgence of incidences of fraud that are more expensive and more time-consuming to resolve. Fraud on existing non-card accounts, account takeover and new account fraud continue to plague consumers.
Fraud has more than doubled from 2016 for key loan products – car loans, mortgages, student loans and home equity lines of credit. Loan fraud is often associated with familiar fraud, which now accounts for 15 percent of victims. Victims pay an emotional price and suffer a greater financial burden since the vast majority hesitates to report friends or family members.
Gravitation of fraudsters to these other areas of fraud is leaving more consumers footing the bill – 23 percent of victims, or three times the rate in 2016 – mainly for overdraft penalties and late charges, but also for unreimbursed fraudulent transactions.
Fraud-fighting technologies in existence or on the near-term horizon can help mitigate the burden on financial institutions and their customers:
Sponsorship of the 2019 Javelin ID Fraud Study demonstrates FIS’ commitment to continuously seek information to modernize our approach to preventing, detecting and resolving fraud and risk across the financial services ecosystem. We recognize that the ability to compete, grow and drive efficiency requires anticipating where fraudsters are migrating and how to mitigate damage from wasted time, financial burden and emotional distress on victims.
If you are attending FIS InFocus 2019 held at the Walt Disney World Swan and Dolphin Resort in Lake Buena Vista, Florida, April 16-19, please join our panel breakout session focused on the Javelin report on Thursday, April 18th from 4:15-5:15. Al Pascual, Javelin’s SVP of Research and Head of Fraud and Security, will be joined by FIS GM, Retail Digital Payments, ACH and Real Time Payments, Norman Marraccini and Eric Kraus, FIS VP of Fraud Management who will dig deeper into key findings from the report and discuss actions that FIS is taking to better enable our clients to prevent and detect emerging risks outlined in the study.
