What this question trains
This problem tests your understanding of a common payments risk in retail banking and card processing. It focuses on the difference between card-present and card-not-present transactions, and on how fraud can occur when the physical card is not used, such as in online or phone purchases. Interviewers ask about this because FIG candidates are expected to understand the economics, risks, and operating challenges of payment products, especially as digital transactions grow and fraud detection becomes more important.
