Consumers more aware of risks<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
The decrease in losses from online banking fraud shows that banks are becoming increasingly successful at detecting fraud in time. Consumers are also becoming more aware of potential risks. The advice for debit cards remains the same: never let your debit card out of your possession, never send it by post, and never disclose your login details or PIN to anyone, including by telephone, email, messaging apps or social media.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Importance of effective cooperation<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Effective cooperation and the sharing of knowledge and information between financial institutions, cybersecurity companies and public authorities also play an important role in reducing fraud in payments. Within the National Cyber Security Centre and the Financial Institutions Information Sharing and Analysis Centre, this cooperation focuses mainly on preventing and detecting cybercrime. In the Electronic Crimes Task Force, the judiciary, police and banks work together to investigate and prosecute cybercriminals. Other EU countries are very interested in this collective Dutch approach to cybersecurity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Banks also help combat non-banking fraud<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Despite banks\u2019 success in limiting fraud in payments, vigilance remains essential. Criminals are increasingly targeting other, non-banking forms of fraud, such as scams on online marketplaces and invoice fraud. To prevent incorrect transfers and invoice fraud, Dutch banks are offering their customers the IBAN Name Check. This innovative service checks the beneficiary name entered by the customer when making a transfer through online or mobile banking. Rabobank developed the IBAN Name Check and will introduce it in the second quarter of 2017, with the other banks to follow. Dutch banks are leading Europe with this service.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
