<\/a>Much more phishing and bank card fraud in 2019<\/h2>\n
<\/p>\n
![\"\"](\"https:\/\/archief.betaalvereniging.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/Fraudecijfers-2019.png\")
<\/p>\nThe damage caused by phishing to security codes for online banking among bank customers more than doubled last year, from EUR 3.81 million in 2018 to EUR 7.94 million in 2019.<\/p>\n
Banks have observed a sharp increase in the number of attempts to defraud and swindle customers in the course of 2019. In addition, fraudsters are using more different channels to approach their victims. In addition to e-mail, fraudsters also use sms, WhatsApp, Messenger, Marktplaats<\/a> and Twitter<\/a> to send fake messages.<\/p>\n
Many more attacks, via more changing channels and with ever new excuses, have led to a sharp increase in damage. The total damage caused by payment fraud last year amounted to 24.1 million euros. A year earlier it was still 12.6 million euros.<\/p>\n

<\/a>Corona Bulletin<\/h2>\n
![\"\"](\"https:\/\/archief.betaalvereniging.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/contactloos-betalen-50-euro.png\")
<\/p>\nSince March 2020, life has been dominated by the corona crisis. Payment service providers decided to contribute to the fight against the spread of the virus by increasing both the cumulative limit and the transaction limit for contactless payments. For the payment transactions in general the corona crisis resulted in a decrease in the total number of point-of-sale transactions and the number of cash withdrawals, while the number of e-commerce transactions increased. There was also a shift at the point-of-sale from cash payments to contactless electronic payments.<\/p>\n
The Dutch Payments Association warns against phishing that uses the corona virus as an excuse. It has also kept track of developments on the website and in the special Corona Bulletin<\/a>(in Dutch). We thank equensWorldline<\/a> for providing many figures for this bulletin.<\/p>\n
