What we do

Stop Scams UK is a membership organisation of responsible businesses from across financial services, technology and telecoms. Our purpose is to facilitate cross-sector collaboration between firms in those sectors most affected by scams.

Despite a shared goal, legal, regulatory and privacy barriers often stand in the way of collaboration. Our work, driven by members, provides the leadership, expertise and trusted environment needed to turn shared challenges into collaborative, scalable solutions.
