Ofcom consultation deadline on draft measures for scam ads
Friday 2nd October, 2026
Ofcom is consulting on draft rules to stop paid-for scam adverts online, with responses due by 2 October 2026 in the UK.
Wise can reasonably be part of the conversation about protecting UK customers from fraudulent payment and money-transfer ads.
Why have we flagged this?
Strong, timely alignment — Wise is directly exposed to scam ads affecting cross-border payments and customers losing money; it can credibly respond to the consultation, publish data on fraud attempts, propose practical safeguards, and press for industry standards. This is a clear reactive plus proactive PR moment to show consumer protection leadership.
