Abstract
Despite concerted efforts to thwart fraud in recent years, new figures released by APACS, the UK payments association, show that card fraud losses totalled £609.9 million in 2008, up 14% on 2007. Industry commentators said the disappointing figures were ‘unsurprising’, but could be partially addressed by considering new initiatives and technology.
