\nTransUnion report finds that even as suspected digital fraud rates decline, more advanced schemes are driving greater consumer losses
\n<\/h2>\n

CHICAGO, April 16, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — A new TransUnion (NYSE: TRU) analysis finds that identity-based schemes and stolen credit card and fraudulent charge attacks are driving the greatest financial losses for U.S. consumers. These losses are occurring as the digital fraud landscape grows more complex, partly due to increasingly sophisticated AI-driven fraud.<\/p>\n

According to TransUnion\u2019s H1 2026 Update to the Top Fraud Trends Report<\/a>, one in six U.S. consumers said they lost money to digital fraud (email, online, phone call or text messaging scams) in the past year, with a median reported loss of $2,307. Generative AI (GenAI) has likely accelerated the scale and sophistication of criminal activity, allowing fraudsters to target both consumers and businesses with greater precision and speed.<\/p>\n

Globally, 26% of consumers across 18 surveyed countries and regions said they lost money to digital fraud last year, with a median loss of $1,671. In contrast, U.S. data reveals a notable difference: Americans were disproportionately affected by stolen credit card and fraudulent charge schemes. One-third of U.S. consumers who lost money to digital fraud cited these attacks as the cause\u2014the highest-reported category in the country and significantly higher than the global rate of 19%.<\/p>\n

\u201cCriminals are weaponizing both consumer trust and emerging technologies,\u201d said Naureen Ali, U.S. head of fraud at TransUnion. \u201cAs GenAI accelerates the sophistication and scale of criminal operations, the threat landscape is evolving faster than ever for U.S. consumers and businesses. Addressing this requires a new generation of identity-centric defenses that combine advanced analytics, adaptive authentication and multilayered fraud detection. Organizations must match fraudsters\u2019 technological innovation to stay ahead of rapidly changing schemes.\u201d<\/p>\n

Stolen credit card information\u2014compromised through phishing, website skimming, account takeover or other criminal methods\u2014remains the leading driver of U.S. consumer fraud losses. Consumers also cited elevated rates of identity theft (29%), account takeover (27%) and third-party seller scams on legitimate ecommerce sites (24%) among the leading causes of financial loss. While these patterns largely reflect global fraud trends, their impact is more pronounced in the U.S., given the country\u2019s high volume of digital transactions.<\/p>\n

Globally, Gen Z consumers were the most likely to report financial losses, with 39% saying they lost money to digital fraud in the past year. U.S. Gen Z consumers showed a similar pattern, with 38% reporting losses\u2014the highest rate among U.S. generations. This elevated exposure may be influenced by Gen Z\u2019s frequent use of gaming platforms, cryptocurrency exchanges and social apps, which are commonly targeted by fraudsters.<\/p>\n

\n Suspected Digital Fraud Rates Decline in the U.S., but Risk Persists Across Key Sectors <\/strong>\n <\/p>\n

Even as suspected digital fraud declined, consumer losses rose. The suspected digital fraud rate* for attempted transactions involving U.S. consumers declined among TransUnion\u2019s business customers, a trend also seen globally. Nevertheless, this decrease does not necessarily indicate reduced criminal activity; rather, it may reflect a shift toward tactics designed to maximize ROI through the use of AI.<\/p>\n

During account creation, 8.3% of attempted transactions globally in 2025 were suspected to be digital fraud, representing an 18% increase year over year.<\/p>\n

\u201cFraudsters are moving upstream,\u201d continued Ali. \u201cInstead of bypassing controls during account use, they increasingly exploit vulnerabilities at account creation, concealing identity manipulation until losses mount. These methods enable criminals to evade rules-based systems built for a different threat environment. To keep pace, businesses need intelligence-driven, proactive solutions like TransUnion Fraud Solutions to detect sophisticated identity risks at onboarding.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n Industries Facing the Highest Digital Fraud Risk in the U.S.<\/strong>\n <\/p>\n

TransUnion\u2019s industry analysis shows that sectors centered on consumer interaction, social connection and entertainment faced the highest digital fraud pressure in 2025 for attempted transactions involving U.S. consumers.<\/p>\n

While many U.S. industries saw a year-over-year decline in fraud volume, risk remains elevated in several areas. The communities sector, including online dating and forums, experienced a 7% increase in suspected digital fraud attempts, underscoring rising exposure in trust-based environments. Gaming also continues to face significant risk, with nearly one in 10 U.S. transactions flagged as suspected digital fraud.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs criminals increasingly weaponize new technologies to carry out sophisticated scams, it\u2019s more important than ever for consumers to safeguard their personal information,\u201d said Margaret Poe, head of consumer credit education at TransUnion. \u201cRegularly reviewing credit reports is a foundational step, and those who believe they\u2019ve been targeted or victimized by fraud should also consider placing a freeze on their credit files with the major credit bureaus.\u201d<\/p>\n
