flag New Zealand proposes new laws making banks responsible for payment scams, requiring better fraud prevention and accountability.

flag New Zealand First has introduced a bill to hold receiving banks accountable for payment scams, mandating systems like confirmation of payee, urgent account freezing, and better information sharing. flag The move responds to concerns that banks have underinvested in fraud prevention and delayed action on red flags, allowing funds to be quickly sent overseas. flag If a bank fails its duty, consumers won’t be liable for losses. flag The bill aims to align New Zealand with international standards and improve protections against financial scams.
