Webinar overview:

Authorised Push Payment (APP) fraud is a global crisis, predicted to reach $331 billion worldwide by 2027.

While the UK is at the forefront of protective legislation, the technology to combat these scams is evolving rapidly across borders. Join our panel of experts from Pay UK, Equifax, UK Finance and UK Banking guests as we compare the UK landscape with emerging trends from international markets.

In this webinar, we’ll dive into the technical challenges of "authorised" fraud, where traditional security checks are often bypassed by innocent customers.

We will discuss the shift from monitoring originators to analysing destination account behaviour - identifying subtle patterns and "mule" indicators that traditional systems miss.
Our speakers will share practical frameworks for building a proactive defence and restoring consumer confidence in real-time payment systems.
