Authorized Payment Protection
Fight APP fraud without losing customer trust
The promise of real-time payments has permanently transformed the global payment ecosystem, with high consumer adoption rates driving organizations to embrace these faster transactions. But alongside this innovation, the business of fraud evolves just as rapidly. Authorized Push Payment (APP) fraud is on the rise, targeting businesses that are increasingly being held liable for losses. Authorized Payment Protection provides security against these threats.

As global regulations tighten, financial institutions and peer-to-peer (P2P) or account-to-account (A2A) payment platforms face mounting pressure to protect their customers from the growing threat of APP fraud. The convenience of P2P and A2A payments has led to a surge in fraud cases, with scammers using sophisticated social engineering tactics to deceive victims — particularly vulnerable populations like the elderly, the young, and the underbanked — into authorizing payments to fraudsters. These attacks often bypass traditional fraud detection methods, leaving businesses exposed and consumers at risk.
