Recent data reveals alarming trends in authorised push payment (APP) fraud, with the UK witnessing a surge in reported cases. In 2023, over 116,000 cases were recorded, representing a substantial increase compared to the previous year. Additionally, approximately 207,000 APP fraud cases on personal accounts in 2022 resulted in total losses of £485.2 million.

Confirmation of Payee (CoP) stands as a critical regulatory measure to combat authorised push payment fraud by verifying payee details before processing transactions. Tell.money’s CoP solution, tell.confirm, equips PSPs with a fully managed SaaS offering encompassing implementation, accreditation, testing, monitoring, ongoing support, and reporting to ensure seamless compliance.
