And there are fears scams could increase as customers take less care and make the UK a greater target for criminals.

Then maybe the banks can step up then?

But there are plenty of scam prevention measures banks could implement. All of them make payments more of a pain in the ass and there are way too many people who would trade safety for convenience. That said I like this measure. If scam education isn't working well enough then it's time to treat people with kid gloves.
