Credit card fraud stats for South Africa in the banking sector remain a
cause for concern according to figures just released by the SA Banking
Risk Information Centre.
Credit card fraud losses in 2014 increased by 23% and false application fraud rose from R6.2m in 2013 to R78.3m in 2014. SABRIC says fraud continues to present a threat to the banking sector, the business and the consumer. MasterCard though has revealed fraud levels around their bank cards had decreased significantly, adding that Chip and PIN or EMV technology have been key to this shift.
