Secure and safe digital banking is a top priority for Australian consumers, with the epidemic increase in fraudulent activity costing them billions of dollars. As per the 2023 Australian Payment Fraud Report, in 2022 fraud on payment card transactions increased by 16.5% on the previous year to USD 577 million, in line with the growth in total spending on cards, which was up by 16% to USD 1 trillion over the same period. What is more, the fraud rate on Australian card payments was 57.5 cents per USD 1,000 spent, a slight increase from 57.3 cents in 2021.

By partnering with FrankieOne, Backbase’s Engagement Banking Platform is enabled to access an array of Know Your Customer (KYC), anti-money laundering (AML), biometric verification, transaction monitoring, fraud detection, and compliance capabilities from a curated selection of local and international providers. The partnership is set to provide local financial institutions with enhanced trust during customer-led, simplified onboarding journeys, with the net result for the local banking industry being increased customer loyalty, combined with a simplification of compliance requirements.
