PROVIDING VALUE AND SERVICES FOR OUR MEMBERS
In 2016 we ensured value for our members by providing them with the data, intelligence and networks they need to prevent fraud and related financial crime. We introduced a number of new products and hosted growing numbers of intelligence-sharing events and forums.
Despite offering a range of new services in 2016 we continued to keep our subscription fees low, avoiding an increase in National Fraud Database subscriptions for the fourth year in a row.
Some of the key ways we provided value to our members in 2016 included:
