Britain's banks have reported a significant increase in losses due to certain types of fraud since the implementation of refund rules in October 2024, prompting calls for government action against platforms like Meta where many cases originate.

Las entidades bancarias del Reino Unido han registrado el mayor incremento en las pérdidas por determinados tipos de fraude desde el auge de las estafas tecnológicas durante la pandemia, reavivando las peticiones de intervención gubernamental contra plataformas como Meta.

Monzo bank was found to have wrongly rejected 34% of fraud and scam complaints referred to the Financial Ombudsman Service last year, affecting thousands of victims seeking refunds.

The UK information regulator is investigating an IT glitch that allowed some customers of Lloyds, Halifax, and Bank of Scotland to view other users’ transactions when logging into their banking app.

Criminals are increasingly exploiting AI technology to take over people’s mobile, banking, and online shopping accounts, leading to a record number of fraud reports in the UK last year.
