Treasury Committee publishes tech companies’ responses on financial crime

On 1 October 2021, Rt. Hon. Mel Stride MP wrote to a series of tech giants. The letter posed a series of questions relating to the policies and procedures that the addressees have in place to combat fraud and economic crime. The request for information was initiated by an increase in fraud cases, displaying the need for online technology companies to take further action to protect consumers online.

The Treasury Committee has now published responses to this request from Amazon UK, Facebook Inc., Google UK and eBay UK.
