Scam Survey: UK Consumers Lack Confidence in Real-Time Payments Security “While there remains some slight uncertainty in the UK market around RTP security, it is clear to us that, based on global and local consumer trends, banks should expect usage to continue to increase and diversify,”?said James Roche, principal fraud consultant for FICO in EMEA.? “At the same time, however, there needs to be more education around the benefits of RTP, how they counterbalance fraud checks and regulatory changes.
