Key findings from the UK Fraud, Identity & Financial Crime Report 2026
In this year’s report, 86% of businesses we surveyed reported high confidence in dealing with fraud, yet 62% of businesses still recorded rising losses in recent years.
If UK businesses feel confident in their efforts to tackle fraud and financial crime, why are fraud losses still rising? Are we facing a ‘reality gap’?
Are AI-driven analytics capabilities the answer to the growing use of AI among fraudsters themselves?
Are your fraud, identity and AML capabilities fully integrated, and how do you effectively balance trust, privacy and control?
What does the future of Digital Identity look like in the UK?
These are some of the questions our latest research tries to answer. Tackling fraud remains a priority for organisations, with almost three-quarters (73%) of businesses we surveyed saying they will be expecting their fraud management budgets to increase in 2026. But are these investments targeting the right areas to address the changing nature of fraud?
Join us as we explore the key takeaways from this year’s research:
- The ‘arms race’ between fraudsters and businesses is accelerating, with AI tools now central to organisational defence strategy
- Despite convergence of fraud and financial crime, only 45% of businesses have fully integrated teams
- Customers most often encounter password and PIN number authentication, but actively trust biometrics the most
- 75% of young people are willing to allow AI agents to make purchases for them
- 52% of consumers are open to Digital IDs
Learn how the AI-accelerated battle between businesses and fraudsters is moving with eye-watering speed. Leave the webinar with an understanding as to how Experian can support your fraud prevention efforts, and how best to manage the tightrope between providing seamless consumer experiences and protecting consumers sufficiently.
