In 2024, US consumers reported losing over $12.5 billion to fraud, a 25% increase from the previous year. According to Federal Trade Commission data, the number of fraud reports actually remained stable but the percentage of people who reported losing money to a fraud or scam increased by 11%. Consumers reported losing more money to scams where they paid with bank transfers or cryptocurrency than all other payment methods combined.
In the EU, fraud losses reached €2 billion in the first half of 2023, while consumers in the UK lost £570 million to fraud in the first half of 2024, with a 16% rise in the number of cases compared with the same period in 2023.
In January 2025, Digital Operational Resilience Act (DORA) came into force in the EU to ensure financial firms can withstand cyber attacks and fraud-related disruption. DORA requires firms to identify and classify information and communication technology risks, implement detection, protection, response, and recovery plans and establish thresholds for incident reporting.
Under the UK’s Economic Crime and Corporate Transparency Act (ECCTA) 2023, large organisations face expanded corporate liability. Large organisations are defined as those that meet two of the following three criteria:
Through the ECCTA’s ‘failure to prevent fraud’ offence coming into force in September 2025, such organisations face increased examination regarding how they detect, prevent, and respond to fraudulent activity. With stricter identity verification requirements, enhanced data sharing powers for Companies House, and greater scrutiny of corporate structures, large BFSI firms are now under more pressure to demonstrate robust fraud risk management, including having ‘reasonable procedures’ in place to prevent fraud.
Although Small and Medium-sized Enterprises (SMEs) are not directly liable under this corporate offence, they could still face increased scrutiny from financial institutions or regulators, especially if operating in high-risk sectors or jurisdictions.
With industry feedback pointing to fraudsters becoming more adept at compromising and, in some cases, circumventing security measures, for example by tricking customers into divulging their one-time passwords (OTPs), businesses should review their fraud risk prevention strategies to effectively protect their end customers, reputations and revenue.
