Card fraud on the rise in Europe
In 2019, the total value of card-not-present fraud in Europe increased by 4.3% compared with the previous year, reaching a whopping value of €1.5 billion. Card-present fraud amounted to more than €370 million in 2019, with the value of point-of-sale fraud increasing by 2.2% compared with the previous year.* The UK accounted for almost half of European card fraud in 2019, at 45.4% (Є706.9 million).**
The growth of online payments, in particular, is fuelling the increase. In fact, fraud rates have risen by 55% since the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic in early 2020.*** So, how can you protect your customers’ data and your business’ reputation, while still maximising your sales?
