BEDFORD, Mass.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Outseer, a leading provider of digital fraud prevention and customer authentication solutions, announced today the availability of new global research conducted by the Aite-Novarica Group focused on global trends in real-time payments (RTP) and associated fraud.
The research shows that 71% of financial institutions (FIs) indicated an increase in consumer account takeover (ATO) using RTP rails from 2021 to 2022, and 62% of financial institutions said that consumer authorized push payment (APP) fraud via RTP rails had increased in the same period. 57% of FIs indicated mule account activity over RTP rails was up in 2022 vs. 2021.
“A layered approach for fraud mitigation that combines authentication and payment fraud prevention is more important than ever to effectively mitigate RTP fraud,” says John Filby, Outseer CEO.
Additional insights and recommendations include:
- Financial institutions must evolve their control frameworks to handle the rising tide of industrialized ATO attacks and APP fraud and scams.
- 67% of FIs plan to make major changes to enhance their RTP fraud controls over the next one to two years. RTP fraud mitigation is a key priority in financial institutions’ fraud prevention strategy.
- Mule account detection is key to mitigating RTP fraud both on the sender and receiving account. Profiling the sender and receiving account and cross-checking fraud signals against a fraud data consortium should be part of every RTP fraud mitigation strategy.
