Americans are more willing to pay additional fees for greater protection of their bank accounts to assuage increasing fears, according to new research from Unisys Corporation that polled 1,000 Americans as part of a broader worldwide analysis of identity fraud and bank security issues.
The study, which may be the first-ever worldwide comparison of consumer views on these growing global concerns, revealed a significant rise in Americans’ willingness to pay additional bank fees for greater security protection. Nearly 40 percent of Americans are at least somewhat willing to pay fees for more protection compared to 27 percent in a similar U.S. survey conducted by Unisys in 2004. Even a larger number (50 percent) would consider switching banks for more protection compared to 45 percent last year.
