The EPC Card Fraud Prevention Forum is looking for stakeholder participants

23 February 2016

Payment stakeholders with a thorough knowledge of card fraud prevention issues are invited to submit an application to join the European Payments Council’s Card Fraud Prevention Forum.

This Forum’s mission is to identify and promote card fraud prevention practices and tools within the card industry, and to develop initiatives to fight against card fraud. Among its deliverables, it will produce reports, analyse problems, and propose solutions related to card fraud prevention.

Given the persistence of card fraud in Europe, the EPC decided to revive the card fraud prevention body that used to exist as an EPC task force. It will be composed of up to thirty members. On top of up to ten members from the EPC, the EPC invites card stakeholders to submit their application:

• Up to five seats will be allocated to experts coming from card schemes;
• And up to five to experts coming from the retail sector, including e-merchants.

In addition, the EPC wishes to encourage applications for observer seats (up to ten), from:

• Experts from non-commercial organisations working in the card fraud prevention area;
• European public authorities and organisations.

Interested stakeholders are invited to submit their application by 31 March 2016.
