Hausse de la fraude liée aux demandes de carte de crédit : les voleurs d’identité ciblent les Canadiens de 56 à 65 ans de manière disproportionnée

Equifax Canada reports an 8% year-over-year increase in credit card application fraud in Q2 2026, primarily driven by third-party identity theft targeting Canadians aged 56-65. While fraud in auto loans, mortgages, and telecommunications declined, overall consumer debt reached $2.68 trillion with delinquency rates rising 11.7%, indicating persistent financial pressure on Canadian households.
