OTS - PwC Strategy& study: IBAN-name checks can increase confidence in instant payments, but are not a universal solution (part 2)

Munich, 6 June, 2023 (APA/OTS) -
Boosting trust and security
A look at the countries where similar procedures to the
IBAN-name check are already in use reveals both the potential and
the limits of the technology. In the Netherlands, where 90% of all
domestic payments are already handled as instant payments, the
incidence of invoice fraud at one of the banks that had installed
an IBAN-name check declined significantly. However, over the same
time period fraudulent transactions migrated to the cross-border
space. The experience of UK banks has been similar. At banks with
IBAN-name checks (the "Confirmation of Payee" service, CoP), APP
fraud fell by an average of 10%. Over the same period, however, it
increased by over 60% at banks that had not introduced CoP
services. Banks and payment service providers in other countries
who are similarly implementing IBAN-name checks observe above all
growing trust on the part of users, and improved ease of operation
when using various payment systems.
"IBAN-name checks are not an all-purpose tool - a fact
confirmed in the assessment by fraud experts in our pan-European
working group, who have looked at which fraud scenarios are
successfully blocked by such checks," says Thomas Egner, Secretary
General at Euro Banking Association and co-author of the study. "To
maximize the impact of these checks, it is therefore all the more
important that they are used Europe-wide and can also operate on a
cross-border basis. That is the only way to prevent fraudsters from
simply being able to go about their business in SEPA countries
where such solutions are not even up and running.
Information-sharing and analysis methods should also have the
effect of boosting efficiency and assisting in combating fraud,
particularly if used Europe-wide."
