Abstract

Abstract Aim: This study aims to systematically classify the fraud types encountered in card payment systems in the banking sector, to analyse their threat levels, and to develop a multi-layered prevention framework. Data and Method: This study employs a qualitative descriptive research design. Primary data are drawn from the report published by the Banks Association of Turkey (TBB, 2015), supplemented by peer-reviewed articles, EBA and BIS reports, and PCI-DSS/EMV standards. Findings: Four main fraud categories are identified: ATM fraud, card fraud, merchant fraud, and ancillary fraud. Skimming and malware-based ATM attacks pose the highest impact. EMV adoption reduces card cloning but displaces fraud toward CNP channels. Conclusion: A single-layer defence is insufficient. Effective prevention requires coordinated investment in technology, regulatory compliance, personnel training, and customer awareness. Originality: The first comprehensive Turkish-language card payment fraud taxonomy integrating ATM hardware attacks, digital skimming, and merchant-side schemes within a unified domestic regulatory framework. Policy Recommendations: Mandate real-time transaction monitoring, require anti-skimming kits on all ATMs, and establish a national fraud intelligence-sharing platform.

Özet

Özet Amaç: Bu çalışma, bankacılık sektöründe kartlı ödeme sistemlerinde karşılaşılan dolandırıcılık türlerini sistematik biçimde sınıflandırmayı, tehdit düzeylerini analiz etmeyi ve çok katmanlı bir önleme çerçevesi geliştirmeyi amaçlamaktadır. Veri ve Yöntem: Nitel betimleyici araştırma tasarımı benimsenmiştir. Birincil veri olarak TBB (2015) raporu kullanılmış; hakemli makaleler, EBA ve BIS raporları ile PCI-DSS/EMV standartları ile desteklenmiştir. Bulgular: Dört ana dolandırıcılık kategorisi belirlenmiştir: ATM, kart, üye işyeri ve tali dolandırıcılıklar. Skimming ve zararlı yazılım tabanlı ATM saldırıları en yüksek tehdit olarak öne çıkmaktadır. EMV geçişi sahte kart olaylarını azaltmakla birlikte CNP kanallarında artışa neden olmaktadır. Sonuç: Tek katmanlı savunma yetersizdir. Etkin önleme stratejisi; teknoloji, yasal uyum, personel eğitimi ve müşteri farkındalık yatırımlarının koordinasyonunu gerektirmektedir. Literatüre Katkı: ATM donanım saldırıları, dijital kopyalama ve işyeri kaynaklı planları bütünleştiren, Türkiye düzenleyici gereklilikleriyle uyumlu ilk kapsamlı Türkçe kartlı ödeme dolandırıcılığı taksonomisidir. Politika Önerileri: Gerçek zamanlı işlem izleme zorunlu kılınmalı, tüm ATM'lere anti-kopyalama kiti kurulumu şart koşulmalı ve ulusal dolandırıcılık istihbarat paylaşım platformu kurulmalıdır.
