Fed Reserve establishes working group on payments fraud data

March 19, 2019

The Federal Reserve has announced the members of its Fraud Definitions Work Group, an initiative to advance the Fed's strategy for improving the U.S. payment system. Over the next year, participants will work collaboratively with Fed leaders to formulate recommendations for improving the quality and consistency of automated clearing house, wire, and check fraud data. 

Work will begin later this month to examine existing payments fraud definitions and areas where new or changed definitions could be helpful. The work group also will create a roadmap to encourage broad industry adoption of this classification model to improve the consistency and timeliness of available payments fraud data.
