Growing Fraud Exposure

The banking sector faces constant exposure to cyber risks. Criminals target financial institutions and the wider banking industry to steal money, gain access to sensitive data, and disrupt the financial system.

Common cyber risks in banking include:

  • Account takeover and identity theft through stolen credentials or fake identities.
  • Phishing attacks and phishing scams designed to trick customers into sharing credit card details or a person’s personal information.
  • Fraudulent activities such as using forged or fraudulent documents, fake bank statements, or fake documents to commit account fraud and new account fraud.
  • Digital banking fraud and online banking fraud across mobile banking, banking apps, and online accounts.
  • Large-scale wire transfer fraud or manipulation of online payments and the automated clearing house.
  • Money laundering and other financial crimes, which may involve shell networks or politically exposed persons.

The potential risks are significant: cyberattacks not only cost banks through direct fraud losses, but also erode customer trust and expose weaknesses in verification processes.

To fight these threats, banks must use advanced fraud detection, monitor fraud patterns, and adopt strong security measures. Filing suspicious activity reports, enhancing customer due diligence, and deploying artificial intelligence tools all help prevent fraud and reduce the chance of falling victim to evolving fraud attacks.

Digital banking fraud is one of the fastest-growing risks in the fraud in banking industry. It covers schemes where criminals use technology to commit fraud, often by targeting customers of financial institutions through online banking, mobile banking, and banking apps.

Examples of digital banking fraud include:

  • Phishing attacks through emails, texts, or even fraudulent phone calls that steal logins and credit card details.
  • Account fraud and identity theft where fake identities or fraudulent documents are used to open online accounts.
  • Manipulation of payments, such as wire transfer scams or fake online payments, that cause banks to transfer money to criminal networks.

These fraudulent activities cause serious fraud losses, expose consumers to consumer fraud, and drive up the overall cost banks must absorb. Regulators like the Federal Trade Commission have highlighted the potential risks, while compliance teams are pressured to report cases in line with each fraud bill and regulation.

To reduce exposure, banks must strengthen banking fraud detection, improve verification processes, and build a strong center fraud response to stop new fraud attacks before customers end up falling victim.
