The challenge of credit card fraud

Available for over a year

We examine how credit card fraud happens and what can be done to prevent it. The BBC's Fergus Nicoll reports on a case of fraud that happened to him. Katy Worobec of UK Finance explains how widespread a problem credit card fraud is. We get wider context from Lisa Jack, professor of Accounting and Financial Management at the University of Portsmouth Business School. And Zeeshan Feroz, chief executive of UK operations at Coinbase, tells us how his organisation tries to combat the problem. Also in the programme, our regular environmental commentator George Monbiot discusses this week's Global Climate Strike, where campaigners hope millions of people will walk out of work and schools to demand more action to address climate change. Plus, in the context of an outbreak of swine fever in China, we hear from Jane Li, China reporter for the website Quartz in Hong Kong, why the country is releasing 10,000 tonnes of pork from state reserves for auction.
