“Visa is an extremely proactive partner in the
payment security debate worldwide,” said Michael E. Smith, head of
risk, Visa International.
“Research such as this into consumer behaviour
in different markets gives us key data about attitudes towards risk
and security as we take forward innovative solutions to enhance and
increase security and trust all aspects of card payment
transactions.”
Visa’s study found that Indian consumers
represent some of the most likely in the Asia-Pacific region to
adopt payment card fraud solutions. 37% use different
passwords/PINs for different purposes and 51% – the highest level
in the region – change their PINs/passwords regularly as a
preventative measure against possible fraud attacks.
When Visa asked those surveyed what actions
they would take in the future to prevent card fraud, 67% said they
would register for mobile phone alerts – the second highest figure
in the Asia Pacific region.
