If many customers are not able to understand T&Cs and the behaviours they are expected to comply with, they risk not being compensated when their accounts are breached. An expert analysis of 30 bank contracts across 25 countries found that most contract terms were too vague for customers to infer required behaviour. In some cases the rules vary for different products, meaning the advice can be contradictory at worst. While many banks allow customers to write Personal identification numbers (PINs) down (as long as they are disguised and not kept with the card), 20% of banks categorically forbid writing PINs down, and a handful stipulate that the customer have a unique PIN for each account. We tested our findings in a survey with 151 participants in Germany, the USA and UK. They mostly agree: only 35% fully understand the T&Cs, and 28% find important sections are unclear.

  • The Arab-Israeli Conflict and Civil Litigation Against Terrorism
    SCHUPACK IN FINAL 9/8/2010 11:38:51 AM THE ARAB-ISRAELI CONFLICT AND CIVIL LITIGATION AGAINST TERRORISM ADAM N. SCHUPACK† ABSTRACT The Arab-Israeli conflict has been a testing ground for the involvement of U.S. courts in foreign conflicts and for the concept of civil litigation against terrorists. Plaintiffs on both sides of the dispute have sought to recover damages in U.S. courts, embroiling the courts in one of the world’s most contentious political disputes. Plaintiffs bringing claims against the Palestine Liberation Organization, the Palestinian Authority, material supporters of terrorism, and the Islamic Republic of Iran have been aided by congressional statutes passed precisely to enhance their ability to bring such lawsuits, whereas plaintiffs bringing suit against Israel or Israeli leaders have not had the benefit of such laws. Although the courts have sought to give effect to the congressional authorization embodied in these statutes, they have faced the resistance—at times half-hearted—of the executive branch, which regards such legislative and judicial involvement as an intrusion on its foreign policy prerogatives. Though these lawsuits have been subject to criticism and have not fully achieved the goals attributed to them, U.S. courts have largely acted within the authority given them by Congress and the executive branch in hearing the suits, and there is at least some evidence that such lawsuits constitute an effective tool in the fight against terrorism.

  • International Comparison of Bank Fraud Reimbursement: Customer Perceptions and Contractual Terms
    International Comparison of Bank Fraud Reimbursement: Customer Perceptions and Contractual Terms Ingolf Becker∗ Alice Hutchingsy Ruba Abu-Salma∗ Ross Andersony Nicholas Bohmz Steven J. Murdoch∗ M. Angela Sasse∗ Gianluca Stringhini∗ Abstract We set out to investigate how customers comprehend bank terms and condi- tions (T&Cs). If T&Cs are incomprehensible, then it is unreasonable to expect customers to comply with them. An expert analysis of 30 bank contracts across 25 countries found that in most cases the contract terms were too vague to be understood; in some cases they differ by product type, and advice can even be contradictory. While many banks allow customers to write PINs down as long as they are disguised and not kept with the card, 20% of banks do not allow PINs to be written down at all, and a handful do not allow PINs to be shared between accounts. We test our findings on 151 participants in Germany, the US and UK. They mostly agree: only 35% fully understand the T&Cs, and 28% find that sec- tions are unclear. There are strong regional variations: Germans find their T&Cs particularly hard to understand, but Americans assume harsher T&Cs than they actually are, and tend to be reassured when they actually read them. 1 Introduction The ability to revoke fraudulent bank payments, or at least reimburse the victims of fraud, is presented as one of the primary selling points of the consumer banking system and, particularly, for payment cards. This consumer-friendly feature is also used as a justification for the higher transaction fees that accompany card payments compared with payment systems where transactions are final, such as cash and cryptocurrencies.

  • Palestinian Terrorist Organizations Use the Arab Bank to Channel
    SSppeecciiiaalll IIInnfffoorrrmmaatttiiioonn JJJuulllyy 220000044 BBuulllllleetttiiinnn Intelligence and Terrorism Information Center at the Center for Special Studies (C.S.S.) PPallessttiiniiaan TTeerrroorisstt Orggaanizzattionss Ussee TThee Arraab BBannk ttoo Channneel MMoonneey iintoo TTeerrroorismm Introduction The Arab Bank is a private banking institution with head offices in Jordan. It is one of the largest banks in the Arab world and has many branches in the Palestinian Authority (PA)- administered territories. It is the preferred channel of many Palestinian terrorist organizations, particularly Hamas and the Palestinian Islamic Jihad, for the transfer of money from external sources into the PA-administered territories. Documents captured by the Israeli army clearly illustrate the bank’s important role as a the Palestinian terrorist organization conduit for the transfer of funds to the infrastructure supporting their activities (payments to the families of terrorists who die while perpetrating attacks, and to terrorists who are wounded, imprisoned or wanted by the Israeli police). In addition, funds move through the bank to finance their military activities and civilian infrastructure (da’wah). It is reasonable to assume that members of the bank’s directorate, and certainly officials of the Palestinian Authority and its security services, are aware of the services the bank provides to the terrorist organizations; despite that, they have never taken effective steps to stop them. 2 Background The Arab Bank is one of the largest financial institutions in the Arab world. It has 190 branches in 28 countries and operates in every Arab country (including 87 branches in Jordan, 15 in the PA-administered territories, 12 in Lebanon, 11 in Morocco, 9 in Yemen, 8 in Oman, 8 in the United Arab Emirates, 7 in Egypt, 5 in Bahrain, 4 in Qatar and 3 in Algeria).
