Fraud losses reached almost €85m last year - BPFI
Almost €85m was defrauded from people in Ireland last year, according to new figures from Banking and Payments Federation Ireland - an increase of 8.8% on 2021. The latest FraudSMART Payment Fraud Report outlines how card fraud accounted for over 95% of fraudulent payment transactions by volume but only 40% of fraud losses at €33.4m. It said that most of the increase was driven by online card fraud or "card not present" fraud where a criminal uses the victim's compromised card information
