Stop Scams wins at TECAs 2025

Stop Scams UK-led programme has been recognised for pioneering cross-sector innovation

At the 2025 Tackling Economic Crime Awards (TECAs), Stop Scams UK won the award for Outstanding Private/Third Sector Initiative for Project Trojan – our flagship intelligence sharing and fraud detection work.

We were recognised for identifying mule accounts and safeguarding consumers across the UK – by leading a world-first collaboration between banking, telecommunications and technology sectors.

The initiative brings together 100% of MNOs (mobile network operators), with 20 banks. BT, VodafoneThree and VMO2 are working with: Bank of Scotland, Barclays, Bank of Ireland, Chase (JP Morgan), The Co-operative Bank, IFX, Lloyds, Metro Bank, Modulr, NatWest, Nationwide, Paragon, Revolut, Santander UK, Starling, RBS, TSB, Ulster Bank, Virgin Money and Zempler.

Commenting on the win, Mark Tierney, Chief Executive of Stop Scams UK, said: 

“No organisation can stop scams alone — but together, we can change the game. This award recognises our members’ shared commitment to protect consumers, outsmart scammers and change the future of fraud prevention.”

Last month Stop Scams UK won the “Best Financial Crime Prevention Initiative” at the 2025 PAY360 Awards.
