TransUnion report: India's digital fraud rate 7.1% in 2025
India's digital fraud rate hit 7.1% in 2025, nearly double the global average of 3.8%, according to a new TransUnion report.
Account logins had the highest suspected fraud risk in India, with attackers increasingly targeting existing accounts using stolen or compromised credentials, and login-related fraud accounted for 3.9% of account login transactions here.
Account creation and financial transaction scams followed at 3.1% and 1.2%.
Logistics, telecom show highest fraud rates
Logistics saw the highest suspected fraud rate at 16.3%, with telecom close behind at 14.7%.
Both sectors are vulnerable because they rely so much on fast, real-time digital interactions.
As Natarajan Ramani, Head of TransUnion India Data Analytics Solutions (INDAS), put it, "Fraudsters are weaponising both consumer trust and emerging technologies."
The report urges businesses to step up their security as these threats keep evolving.
