The UK's Fraud Prevention Community

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.
