44258 (2025). Arena Williams to the Minister of Commerce and Consumer Affairs: Does the Minister agree with Consumer New Zealand that confirmation of payee is not a silver bullet to stop online banking scams?

Hon Scott Simpson: Confirmation of Payee is a good tool to limit scams, but this in itself will not solve the issues we face.
