About us
Cifas is a not-for profit membership association representing the private and public sectors. Cifas is dedicated to the prevention of fraud, including internal fraud, and the identification of financial crime. Cifas has over 500 Members spread across banking, credit cards, asset finance, retail credit, mail order, insurance, savings, telecommunications, factoring, share dealing and the public sector. Although at present Cifas Members are predominantly private sector organisations, public sector bodies may also share fraud data reciprocally through Cifas to prevent fraud. Members share information about identified frauds in the fight to prevent further fraud. Cifas is unique and was the world’s first not-for-profit fraud prevention data sharing scheme. Since Cifas was founded in 1988, Cifas Members have prevented fraud losses to their organisations worth billions of pounds by sharing fraud data. By joining the Cifas LinkedIn Group, you will be able to keep in contact with the UK’s fraud data sharing network and receive the notifications of the latest news, research, reports, training courses and events.

The recent Financial Conduct Authority report delivers compelling insights into the effectiveness of organisations that have leveraged real time checks of their customers. This highlights the critical role that advanced solutions like Vision play in empowering companies to enhance their detection capabilities. By leveraging real time insights, vision empowers your organisation to proactively identify and mitigate emerging threats before they impact your organisation. “We observed that, after the initial onboarding, only one firm was conducting real time checks of their customers against the National Fraud Database (NFD). As a result, most other firms failed to detect when one or more new fraud markers were added to the NFD by other firms.” Discover Vision today: https://lnkd.in/eqhVzrRv

We are very pleased to partner with UK Finance, to launch new special educational needs and disabilities (SEND) lessons to deter pupils from becoming money mules. Money muling is a serious fraud threat which causes significant harm to individuals, businesses, and communities, exacerbating the UK’s fraud emergency. In the first half of 2024, cases filed to the NFD, indicative of money muling, increased by 11%, compared to 2023. Education and protection remain critical if we are to keep young people safe from criminals looking to recruit and take advantage. These resources can be accessed by visiting dontbefooled.org.uk. #UKFinance #DontBeFooled #MoneyMule #Fraud #Education #Cifas
We partnered with Cifas, to launch new special educational needs and disabilities (SEND) lessons to deter pupils from becoming money mules (someone who receives illicit money into their bank account and transfers it into another account, often in return for money or an expensive gift). This has achieved the prestigious Quality Mark award from Young Enterprise UK. The programme includes lesson plans and assembly presentations, alongside posters, flyers and other material to support teachers in raising awareness of the serious issue of Money Mules.
