Abstract

Older adults face disproportionate financial losses from fraud despite increasing investments by banks in fraud alert technologies. This paper evaluates the business case for educational interventions targeting older adults, using quasi-experimental analysis of public campaigns, fraud reports, and banking data. Through difference-in-differences models, synthetic controls, and business ROI simulations, the study demonstrates how even small-scale educational interventions can generate measurable reductions in fraud losses, improve customer trust, and create long-term business value for financial institutions.
