BANKING AND CREDIT NEWS-November 21, 2024-Global Organizations Can Better Detect High-Risk Transactions through Better Collaboration, According to New Research(C)2024 M2 COMMUNICATIONS https://www.m2.co.uk
Banks and online retailers can significantly improve their ability to capture hard-to-detect high-risk fraudulent transactions through combining shared fraud intelligence into their risk assessments, according to the latest Global State of Fraud Report from LexisNexis Risk Solutions.
It reveals how businesses can build strong digital trust and prevent fraud before it occurs through collaborative digital identity intelligence and details several examples of success, including one organization that lifted customer recognition rates to 94%.
Another integrated digital identity and email intelligence to help lift fraud capture rates by a quarter.
The global report also explores the impact of criminal activity on consumer trust, compounded by the fact that fewer than 10% of mules identified by law enforcement are arrested and fewer than 1% are charged.
Rapid adoption of AI-powered technology by fraudsters to automate phishing and deepfakes is helping make scams more efficient and convincing, thereby eroding consumer trust in digital services.
Global fraud attacks rose by 19% year on year, according to analysis of the LexisNexis Digital Identity Network platform.
A shared collaborative network enables organizations to flag suspicious activity and confirmed fraud events with other members, to help make it harder for fraudsters to operate.
This can include data about the device being used, IP addresses and other digital signals, as well as the email address provided.
Analyzing the potential risk associated with these signals can significantly boost organizations' effectiveness at capturing high-risk transactions. In one case a major global bank boosted its detection capability 17-fold (1700%).
In another, a card issuer improved its risk assessments by a factor of 23 (2300%). In both cases, collaborative data was used.
Despite this, just six in ten organizations have technological fraud prevention solutions in place across all transaction channels, and only one in four organizations in the EMEA and APAC regions use consortia or data exchange initiatives as part of their fraud prevention activities, according to the report.
This comes despite a majority of firms saying integrating digital experience and fraud prevention efforts and minimizing customer friction during checkout are 'critical or high' priority.
Broader insights are also essential in the fight against synthetic identities fake digital profiles created for fraud.
Robust intelligence can reveal telltale signs, such as synthetic identities are seven times more likely to have no first-degree relatives and 20 times more likely to appear in multiple credit applications over a short time period.
The report reflects that human beings continue to be a weak link in the trust chain, with an army of money mules around 40% of whom are typically under the age of 25 helping cybercriminals launder between 2 and 5% of global GDP each year.
