The burgeoning growth rate is attributable to the growing number of fraud cases worldwide, with the COVID-19 pandemic acting as ‘a catalyst’. Up to 149,946 cases of Authorized Push Payment (APP) scams in 2020 totalled $581 million in gross losses, according to the UK Finance trade association.
Per Federal Trade Commission (FTC) data, customers reported losing over $5.8 billion to fraud in 2021. Furthermore, online banking has augmented the rates of online fraud, boosting fraud prevention and detection market revenue. While payment frauds rank high, identity theft is growing steadily.
