UK Banking Industry Teams Up With Fraud Police

Angelica Mari writes in Computing:

The police have launched a new unit to tackle all types of banking fraud in the UK.

The Payment Industry and Police Joint Intelligence Unit (PIPJIU) is the result of the merger of the banking industry’s Fraud Intelligence Bureau (FIB) and the intelligence function of the Dedicated Cheque and Plastic Crime Unit (DCPCU).

The latter is a joint initiative between UK law enforcement and retail banks to tackle card and cheque crime.

The new unit’s 15-strong workforce includes banking industry fraud specialists, as well as officers from the City of London and Metropolitan police forces.
