Scam Survey: UK Consumers Lack Confidence in Real-Time Payments Security
A recent FICO survey reveals significant concerns about real-time payments (RTP) security among UK consumers. While 79% have sent and 73% have received RTP, nearly a quarter (23%) are uncertain about the adequacy of security checks in RTP processes.
The study, covering 12,000 individuals across 14 countries, shows UK adoption rates lagging behind global averages of 91% for sending and 89% for receiving. Only 35% of UK consumers consider RTP more secure than credit cards, compared to a 51% global average. Despite these concerns, 59% plan to maintain their RTP usage, while 28% intend to increase it.
To address these challenges, FICO recommends banks focus on education and communication through preferred channels, with 37% of UK consumers favoring bank apps for sensitive communications. FICO and Jersey Telecom have developed a new solution, FICO® Customer Communications Service Scam Signal, which recently won the Anti-Fraud Solution award.

12,000명의 개인을 대상으로 한 이 연구는 영국의 채택률이 송금의 91% 및 수신의 89%라는 글로벌 평균에 비해 뒤처지고 있음을 보여줍니다. 영국 소비자의 35%만이 RTP가 신용카드보다 더 안전하다고 생각하는 반면, 글로벌 평균은 51%입니다. 이러한 우려에도 불구하고, 59%는 RTP 사용을 유지할 계획이며, 28%는 이를 증가시킬 의향이 있습니다.

Banks that use scam protection technology will put themselves and their customers in the best position to protect their finances.
