Why Consumer Education?

In this new era of online fraud, consumers are more fearful than ever about their identity being stolen and used illegally, damaging their credit and their future ability to secure loans or perform other vital financial transactions. As a result, consumers are trusting their financial institutions to improve their defenses against fraudulent actors looking to steal, sell and use their PII. Preventing fraud through awareness and education is important for a financial institution's reputation and future success.

Greater awareness will help people to stop making mistakes that could be easily avoided. Consumer mistakes include:

Sharing too much on social media sites.
Opening links and attachments.
Failing to monitor online accounts.
Divulging information to scammers.

Reusing passwords & not using 2FA or MFA.
Failing to recognize compromised ATMs.
Failing to keep identity private.
Not taking the proper precautions using wi-fi.

Why Now?

Fraud continues to increase. According to a recent Javelin study, fraud impacted a staggering 16.7 million victims in the U.S. last year, an increase of 1.3 million more victims than the prior year. In total, an alarming 6.65% of the U.S. population fell victim to fraud. With the rise of more sophisticated methods, as well as the growing mass of leaked consumer information, this figure is likely to rise.


Technology does not prevent human mistakes.
I.D. Theft has been the top consumer complaint to the past 15 years.
$36,600 is stolen every minute.
113% increase in New Account Fraud in 2017.
Growth of IOT (20.4 billion connected devices by 2020).
Growth of Mobile Pay and eCommerce.
There is a direct correlation between Technology and Cybercrime.
Criminals no longer need to be tech savvy hackers as there is easy access to "out-of-the-box" fraud tools.
Criminals are awash with credentials, health records, PII and bank account information.
Payment fraud, Account Takeover & ID Theft are commonplace.

Trust & Reputation.

"90% of Americans feel a personal responsibility to be safer online" (2017 National Cyber Security Alliance and the Anti-Phishing Working Group).

Safeguarding & protecting PII is essential today for everyone and a critical component for financial institutions in building lasting, trusted customer and member relationships. For the consumer, fraud is felt both financially and emotionally. Account takeovers (ATO) resulted in out-of-pocket costs and personal time to resolve. In cases of ID theft, consumers incur emotional damage when restoring their credit and clearing their name in the wake of identity theft.

Lost Productivity / Investigation.

When a customer or member suffers a fraud attack, even if there is not a fraudulent transaction, employees will drop what they're doing to investigate the attack to help determine what actually took place. If there is a transaction involved, additional time is needed to try to get the money back.
