Authorised push payment fraud has been made more attractive to criminals since the advent of real-time payment schemes, such as Faster Payments in the UK — crooks can quickly take the money and run. This type of fraud is on the rise – but what is it? And who are the victims? Authorised push payment fraud, also known as APP fraud, happens when fraudsters deceive consumers or individuals at a business to send them a payment under false pretences to a bank account controlled by the fraudster.

But if you’re aiming for the summit, the air gets thinner, and what got you here won’t be enough to get you to the top. 🗻 What made you successful early in your finance career—technical accuracy, sharp analysis, flawless execution—won’t be what carries you to the next level.

Can a bank be sued for acting as a “debt collector” under the California Rosenthal Act? You are probably tempted to answer “yes” it can, because you know the Act defines a “debt collector” to include an entity that is collecting on behalf of itself or on behalf of third parties. But a closer look at the activities performed by employees of the bank in question may reveal that it is not, in fact, collecting on its own behalf.
