What's new in the report

Spaniards have regained some of their consumer confidence with an overall Security Index score of 127 – the lowest score since the baseline study. However, financial fraud and the fear of an epidemic are Spaniards’ chief anxieties, with more than two thirds of consumers concerned about bankcard fraud and 52 per cent worried about an epidemic. Internet security remains the least worrying threat, with an overall score of 86 versus the ongoing and consistent fears about national security, which stands at 145. To improve financial security, 65 per cent of consumers support biometrics, especially if this prevents bank card fraud.
