3M UK adults affected by CIFAS markers or bank account closures annually
The Problem

UK consumers are frequently hit with CIFAS fraud markers — often wrongfully or disproportionately — leading to sudden bank account closures, inability to open new accounts, and severe disruption to their financial lives. Victims spend countless hours navigating opaque dispute processes with banks, the Financial Ombudsman, and CIFAS itself, often without knowing their rights or the correct procedures to follow.

Potential Solution

A dedicated tool that lets users check their CIFAS status, auto-generates Subject Access Requests (SARs) and dispute letters tailored to their specific marker type, tracks case progress across multiple banks and agencies, and provides step-by-step guided workflows for marker removal or compensation claims. The platform integrates document management for evidence gathering and deadlines tracking for regulatory responses.

Why Now?

The rise of digital-first banks like Monzo and Revolut has made account closures faster and more automated, while peer-to-peer payment disputes from marketplace transactions are creating a surge in wrongful CIFAS markers. Consumers need a structured way to fight back against algorithmic fraud decisions.
