How do banks pay for the fraud? Do they charge fees to have a bank account?
- Closi 4y agoUK has instant payments between bank accounts too - no fees to cover fraud and fraud is covered.
- adrr 4y agoUK isn't a good example since they don't have fraud protections in place. This bill needs to into effect before the banks are on the hook. https://bills.parliament.uk/bills/3326 https://bills.parliament.uk/bills/3326
- Closi 4y agoMost banks are signed up to the "Authorised Push Payment Scam Code" and cover fraud, however it's not a legal requirement. But all banks, of course, have a level of fraud protection in place (just not the legal obligation to replace funds from a scam and compensate/reimburse victims). It's also worth noting that this is a legal decision, and not a technology issue.
- j16sdiz 4y agoThey reverse the payment when law enforcement gets in.
