EU Trust Infrastructure and Cyber Security

Trust over IP started off to put users in charge of their data but much also because it was estimated that cyber crime annual damages was exceeding 6 trillion USD. With SSI and wallets for all verified data for all parties the risks and damages can be minimized. Much work is going on also in EU to improve cyber security - now especially in the fac...

Dance floor for all data

Data - and lately especially verified data - has for many years been a top priority in national and EU priorities. What the EU Trust Infrastructure's already de-facto EUDI-interoperable wallets mean in terms of benefits for all parties (with small investments) should be properly evaluated in all member state digital strategies - and then lead to c...

Payment Fraud in 2024: Who is Liable?

Fraud is a billion-dollar business in the Instant Payments era. Statistics show that ecommerce fraud is predicted to exceed $48 billion globally by the end of 2023 alone and could exceed $362 billion between 2023 and 2028.  In 2024, banks will not only contend with the changing liability landscape, but the upcoming adoption of ISO 20022 as well. Both represent a historical shift in the financial services industry. To prepare for a higher degree of liability in a data-rich environment, banks need to address the holistic landscape of fraud mitigation.  This Finextra impact study, produced in association with NICE Actimize, addresses the changing liability landscape and what banks need to do to prepare for regulatory changes and increased fraud protection.  We cover:  Shifting liability and the impact of new PSR regulation  ISO 20022’s impact on the financial industry  Financial industry priorities in 2024  And more.

Definitive Differentiators - Forging a future-proof payments model

Over the last few decades, banks have been forced to reconsider their business model for transaction services. During the era of low-interest rates, the focus shifted to transaction revenues, and while the pendulum is now pivoting back to utilising the balance sheet for revenue growth, the amount of new regulations impacting the industry is ever-increasing. New technology and market regulation have fostered innovation and new market entrants. This “perfect storm” is exposing a number of potential threats for banks, but also new opportunities to expand the share of customer wallet and time to market, and drive cost efficiency through standardization. This Finextra survey report, produced in collaboration with Tietoevry, explores the key factors driving changes to payment models for different financial institutions and how they can wield continued or differentiated success in the evolving landscape.

APP Fraud Liability: A Guide for Banks

Fraud is running rampant. The UK Government's 2023 'Fraud Strategy' report highlighted that fraud now accounts for over 40% of crime, yet receives less than 1% of police resources. More needs to be done to ensure that the consumer is protected.  This is why, as per the Financial Services and Markets Bill, all PSPs will now be required to reimburse fraud victims from October 2024. In light of these upcoming changes, banks need to reassess how they manage liability associated with APP fraud and develop new methodologies in order to investigate and mitigate fraud more effectively.  This Finextra impact study, produced in collaboration with Form3, gives banks a guide to tackling the new APP fraud liability landscape. It highlights:  Risk scoring payments  Implementing the right intelligence  Considering false positives  Ensuring explainability  And more.

In May 2024, the European Union’s Digital Identity Regulation came into force – requiring member states to offer at least one EU Digital Identity Wallet to citizens, by 2026.
