According to the press release, the white paper is available in the FPC’s Faster Payments Knowledge Center and takes a fresh look at the current fraud themes and trends, while approaching for mitigating these risks.

Moreover, the paper identifies those initiatives that will help foster improved user experiences, bolster confidence and trust in faster payments, and facilitate reaction times to address threats to the ecosystem – ultimately supporting the further advancement of faster payments.

Overall, the FPC prioritises industry collaboration in tackling complex topics such as interoperability among faster payments solutions, identifying real-world solutions that can ease adoption of faster payments, managing security risks and fraud threats, addressing barriers to cross-border payments, and more.
