Whatis CIFAS?

CIFAS is a system for preventing fraud. It allows member organisations to exchange details of applications for products or services which are considered to be fraudulent because the information provided by the applicant fails verification checks. Members can also exchange information about accounts and services which are being fraudulently misused, or insurance and other claims, which are considered to be fraudulent. CIFAS Members also exchange information about innocent victims of fraud to protect them from further fraud. Information is exchanged under strict rules and is referred to in a Fair Processing Notice on application/proposal/claim forms and agreements.
