We Fight Fraud adopts Salv Bridge to share real-time scam intelligence with banks
0
We Fight Fraud regularly carries out research that reconstructs the tactics used by criminals to commit financial scams. These initiatives aim to uncover vulnerabilities so banks and fintechs can better protect their customers. During these exercises, WFF discovers fraudulent and money mule accounts. Until now, they've lacked a fast, secure way to share this intelligence.
Using Salv Bridge, We Fight Fraud can now deliver that intelligence instantly through a compliant, secure, and structured messaging platform purpose-built for collaborative financial crime investigations.
Over 100 banks, fintechs and PSPs across Europe use Salv Bridge to share intelligence for authorised push payment (APP) fraud recovery, collaborative AML investigations, automated RFIs, and suspicious IBANs. Alerts exchanged through Salv Bridge have a true positive rate of over 90%, and companies see recovery rates of stolen funds as high as 80%
'Speed is everything when we uncover criminal accounts or active scams,' said Dr. Nicola Harding, CEO at We Fight Fraud. 'Salv Bridge gives us an easy way to share vital signals in the moment. It means our insights reach the right hands faster, enabling quicker interventions and stronger protection for customers. That's the difference we're here to make.'
'Intelligence sharing is no longer a theory. It's happening,' said Taavi Tamkivi, Co-founder and CEO at Salv. 'Hundreds of financial institutions and national associations are now taking it seriously. Any party that uncovers vital crime signals needs a fast, secure way to share them across borders and sectors. Salv Bridge is that channel. Built to the highest privacy and security standards, organisations can finally move faster than the criminals.'

Services industry grows at fastest rate for 10 months as cost pressures ease
The UK's services sector expanded at its quickest rate for 10 months in June, as inflation pressures eased. The closely-watched S&P Global UK Services Purchasing Managers' Index report gave the industry a score of 52.8 for June, the best figure since August 2024 and above analyst forecasts of 51.3. Any number above 50 indicates the sector is growing, while any figure below denotes contraction. Companies surveyed said their output benefited from higher organic sales, 'generally improving' business and consumer spending, and marketing and promotional activity. Overall new work gained by service firms rose for the second time this year, although only marginally, while new orders increased at the fastest pace since last November, thanks to domestic demand. While input price inflation lingered, with 29 per cent of survey participants reporting higher cost burdens, the rate of cost inflation was the lowest for six months. However, service employment shrank for the ninth consecutive month, with anecdotal evidence pointing to greater payroll costs and an absence of pressure on business capacity. In early April, employers' National Insurance contributions went up from 13.8 per cent on annual salaries above £9,100 to 15 per cent on wages exceeding £5,000. The National Living Wage for workers aged 21 and over also went up by around 10 per cent to £12.21 per hour. Many major UK businesses have warned that the changes, which were originally announced by Chancellor Rachel Reeves in the Autumn Budget, will force them to cut jobs or avoid hiring new people. Tim Moore, economics director at S&P Global Market Intelligence, said the mix of falling employment and abating inflationary pressures 'leaves the door open' for the Bank of England (BoE) to cut interest rates next month. The BoE has reduced the UK base rate, which currently stands at 4.25 per cent, by 0.25 percentage points on four occasions in the past year. Its governor, Andrew Bailey, told CNBC earlier this week that 'the path of interest rates will continue to be gradually downwards'. S&P Global noted that the growth in average prices charged by service sector companies was the smallest in four-and-a-half years. Thomas Pugh, chief economist at RSM UK, said this 'will give some ammunition to the doves at the Bank of England, and makes a rate cut in August even more likely'.

Our New Car Awards winners prove many great models are now more affordable than ever
Have new cars for real-world drivers ever been better, more versatile, efficient, safe and fit for purpose? Not in my lifetime. As this week's Auto Express New Car Awards clearly demonstrate, there's nowt wrong with the current crop of state-of-the-art showroom products. Follow our unbiased advice, do your homework, be open-minded, factor in discounts and insurance groups plus likely resale values, then draw up your personal list of the very best models in the price category you're working within. Only then will your contender cars reveal levels of excellence and quality that consumers on limited budgets (that's most of us) could only dream about in the recent past. We used to be content with cars that were merely good or, occasionally, very good. Now, some great models are within our financial reach. A car doesn't necessarily have to be big, quick, expensive and outrageously good-looking to qualify as a modern great. The Renault 5 E-Tech, winner of our Affordable Electric class, proves my point. Think top speed of 93mph, a more than reasonable sub-£24k starting price, plus a design that's unapologetically understated, not tastelessly tacky. Not by coincidence, its longer, taller, more spacious big bro, the classless sub-£27k Renault 4, is officially commended in the same EV category – in addition to topping the Small SUV league. Advertisement - Article continues below Skip advert Advertisement - Article continues below I've no doubt that Fiat would not have priced its Grande Panda range so attractively had its Stellantis Group sibling rival Citroen, plus its external enemy Renault, cheekily 'incentivised' it to do so with provocatively low pricing for, respectively, the C3 and R5. When I attended the 1989 launch of the original Mazda MX-5, I knew and predicted that it'd be a hit for decades to come. Some 36 years later it has again been crowned as the Convertible class winner. Officially, prices are from £28k. But with zero per cent finance and discounts averaging £3k-plus, it's as affordable now as it was then. Talking of affordability, decent petrol-electric cars don't come much cheaper than the sub-£19k MG3, which picks up the Affordable Hybrid prize. This latest victory for the Chinese manufacturer should be yet another wake-up call for the likes of VW which, inexplicably, still drags its heels in bringing hybrid tech to buyers with limited budgets. But it's Skoda that can consider itself the serial champ this year. Wins for Octavia (Family Car), Superb (Estate), Elroq (Mid-size SUV) and Kodiaq (Large SUV) were impressive enough. But the much-coveted Car of the Year gong for the Elroq is the icing on the cake. Our awards do feature some more pricey picks, but all of the cars mentioned in this column can be had, brand new, for between about £19,000 and £36,000. All are credible, appropriately priced and world-class. Why buy lesser, sometimes more expensive rivals that aren't? Configure your perfect Skoda Elroq through our Find A Car service now. Alternatively, check out the best deals out there on a new Skoda Elroq from stock or top prices on used Skoda Elroq models...

Ryanair flights cancelled due to air traffic control strikes
The low-cost airline said the cancellations on Thursday and Friday will affect flights to and from France, as well as flights over the country to destinations such as Greece and Spain. Ryanair chief executive Michael O'Leary renewed calls on EU Commission President Ursula von der Leyen to take 'urgent action' to reform European Union air traffic control (ATC) services in light of the disruption, which comes at the start of the European summer holidays. 4.7M Ryanair passengers delayed by French Air Traffic Control this year‼️ Full story on ATC 'League of Delays'👇 Mr O'Leary said: 'Once again, European families are held to ransom by French air traffic controllers going on strike. 'It is not acceptable that overflights over French airspace en route to their destination are being cancelled/delayed as a result of yet another French ATC strike. 'It makes no sense and is abundantly unfair on EU passengers and families going on holidays.' Ryanair has long-campaigned for an overhaul of ATC services across Europe. It wants the EU to ensure ATC services are fully staffed for the first wave of daily departures, as well as to protect overflights during national ATC strikes. 'These two splendid reforms would eliminate 90% of all ATC delays and cancellations, and protect EU passengers from these repeated and avoidable ATC disruptions due to yet another French ATC strike,' Mr O'Leary added. Ryanair also said on Wednesday it had been hit by the recent conflict in the Middle East, and it cancelled more than 800 flights last month. It is among those to have cancelled and rerouted flights amid the conflict between Israel and Iran, as well as continued attacks in Gaza. Last week, flights were halted at Dubai airport in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) as passengers were told to expect further delays and cancellations. Ryanair said it still operated more than 109,000 flights in June, indicating that fewer than 1% of flights were affected. The Ireland-based business carried 19.9 million passengers in June, representing a 3% increase on the same month last year.
