We want to fight using the latest technology and research to dramatically cut fraud and we want to do this with you. Right now, payment card fraud will exceed $15bn in 2015 and is forecast to grow to over $30bn per year by 2020. Everything that has already been put in place by you and your colleagues to prevent and detect fraud and yet it continues to grow putting this cash into the hands of criminals. We are actively seeking professional members to join FITS.
