Meta Collaborates with U.K. Banks to Combat Fraud

Facebook parent company Meta has announced a partnership with two prominent banks in the U.K. to enhance consumer protection against fraud.

Meta revealed that it is expanding its Fraud Intelligence Reciprocal Exchange (FIPE) program to facilitate direct information sharing between U.K. banks and the social media giant. This collaboration aims to identify and eliminate fraudulent accounts and coordinated scams more effectively.

The technology has been successfully piloted with several U.K. financial institutions. For instance, Meta was able to dismantle a concert ticket scam network targeting individuals in the U.K. and U.S. by removing 20,000 scammer accounts, thanks to data shared by NatWest and Metro Bank.

While NatWest and Metro Bank are the initial participants in the information-sharing initiative, additional banks are expected to join in the future, according to Meta.

Nathaniel Gleicher, Meta’s global head of counter-fraud, emphasized the significance of collaboration between banks and platforms in combating fraudulent activities. He stated, “We will only beat these criminals if we work together and share relevant information related to scams.”

Meta has faced persistent pressure from U.K. banks to enhance its efforts in curbing fraudulent activities on its platforms, including Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp.

In response to concerns raised by British digital bank Starling in 2022, Meta has taken steps to address fraudulent financial advertising issues. Starling, backed by Goldman Sachs, had boycotted Meta and ceased advertising on its platforms due to these concerns.

Scammers frequently exploit Meta’s apps to deceive users through various fraudulent schemes, with authorized push payment fraud being a common tactic. This form of fraud involves criminals impersonating legitimate entities to persuade individuals to transfer money.

Meta has implemented policies prohibiting the promotion of financial fraud, such as loan scams and misleading investment schemes. Additionally, the company prohibits advertisements that make unrealistic promises or guarantee financial returns.
