Banks failing to halt fraud and then penalizing victims with account closure
When consumers report recurring fraudulent charges, banks fail to block the merchant, forcing account closure as the only remedy—which then causes the loss of paid annual fee benefits. Victims are penalized twice: first by the fraud, then by the bank's inability to resolve it without account termination. This reflects a structural gap in fraud remediation tooling.
