Overview

Today’s consumers can conduct a variety of financial transactions, from easily moving money across accounts to purchasing practically any good or service, all from the convenience of their smartphone or tablet. At the same time, the very nature of fraud has changed, with implications not only for losses, but also for the relationship between consumers and their payment providers in this mobile financial world. This report explores the risks that financial institutions (FIs) and issuers face as their customers increasingly rely on smartphones and tablets to conduct transactions, along with how the tactics needed for managing fraud must change to meet the unique challenges posed by payments made through the mobile channel.
