Banks and Lending Firms Beware COVID-19 Is Causing a Significant Rise in Fraud

Banks and Lending Firms Beware COVID-19 Is Causing a Significant Rise in Fraud

Here’s How to Protect Your Retail Bank From Massive Losses

According to the LexisNexis 2020 True Cost of Fraud™ Study, fraud attacks on banks and lending firms have grown substantially due to a big shift to online and mobile banking.

Not only have average monthly fraud attacks increased, but these fraudsters are more successful than ever before.

Since the beginning of Covid-19:

  • Successful fraud attacks are up 39.48% for digital banking
  • Fraud attacks are now 27.56% more successful for digital lending

Fraud attacks on banks and lending institutions have skyrocketed.  And the true cost of the fraud for banks and other lenders have grown too. Since the beginning of the pandemic, the cost of these successful attacks has risen to $3.78 for every $1 of fraud.  Up 12% from pre-pandemic levels. Because more transactions are shifting to mobile and online platforms, committing fraud has never been this easy for thieves.  And many banks and lenders are simply unprepared as attacks have become more commonplace and drastically more successful.

These Attacks Are Destroying The Profit Margins of Banks of All Sizes

“Firms that had not yet invested in channel risk mitigation solutions were caught off-guard and challenged when using traditional solutions that focus more on the physical identity attributes.” -LexisNexis
