Identity fraud presents a significant challenge for today’s financial services and lending firms. Identity verification and authentication solutions that worked in the past may not be a match for today’s more sophisticated identity fraud attacks. Criminals have upped their game. At the same time, new technologies make it easier for them to evade detection through current risk management processes.
A common reaction is to impose more rigorous security measures to keep fraudsters out. But too often these measures have high false positive rates – and any time you make legitimate customers jump through hoops or delay their application from being approved, you risk having them abandon the process.
Fraud Intelligence can be used in conjunction with your existing workflows and risk strategies. Your organization can defend against a wider range of attacks and achieve the following objectives by layering Fraud Intelligence into your current fraud and identity workflows:
LexisNexis Fraud Intelligence analyzes hundreds of unique identity characteristics, identity application behaviors and identity events to provide real-time insight into application fraud risk.
