Across the globe, 61% have changed their behavior or reduced use of digital payment platforms due to cyber scam concerns. 75% say transaction insurance would boost their trust, increasing adoption.

NEW YORK, Sept. 30, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Chubb, a world leader in insurance, today released the results of its new global survey, "The Impact of Cyber Scams on Trust in Digital Payments," revealing the growing impact of cyber fraud on consumers, the misconceptions regarding cyber protections, and the significant changes in consumer purchasing behavior driven by escalating worries over cyber breaches.

Digital payments have become part of our daily lives and are increasingly crucial to fostering financially inclusive economies. Chubb's survey findings define the pivotal role insurance plays in building trust and helping to enable the growth of the digital payments ecosystem.

According to the survey conducted in the U.S., Mexico, Brazil, Indonesia, Singapore, the Philippines, Thailand, and Vietnam – nearly half (46%) of respondents mistakenly believe their payments are protected.

"The future of digital payments is bright, and insurance will help play a crucial role in shaping its trajectory," said Sean Ringsted, Chubb's Chief Digital Business Officer. "At Chubb, we are committed to developing innovative insurance solutions that address the changing risks faced by individuals and businesses in the digital era. By fostering a mindset focused on awareness, vigilance and protection, we can ensure that the benefits of digital payments are accessible to all while mitigating the associated risks."
