Since early 2023, the Mastercard scheme has helped UK banks identify and stop potentially fraudulent payments before the funds leave the victim’s account. Mastercard said the consumer fraud risk service has been extended to receiving banks so it can help them to detect when a payment may be destined for an account used by fraudsters. Initial tests of the additional “inbound risk” alerts have seen improvements in the ability to identify high-risk mule accounts early, within the base of bank accounts, Mastercard said. Johan Gerber, executive vice-president for security solutions at Mastercard, said banks are being provided with “additional lines of defence – helping them better identify and stop scams in their tracks”.
