Fraud Prevention for Banks & the Financial Sector
Is the customer’s data correct? This is a critical question during application reviews, because true creditworthiness can only be calculated with true data. Fraud prevention for banks works in a fundamentally different way than traditional credit checks, with every check detecting incorrect entries and fraud attempts. Employees need different systems and supplementary data sources. We deliver both. Our FRIDA software offers the best in comprehensive protection. And our DEVICE IDENT service offers you a reliable data source for all online routes.

Effective Fraud Prevention for Banks & Financial Service Providers
Fully Automated Lending
Customers expect online transactions to be completed quickly, and their banking needs are no exception. In order to keep customer waiting times as short as possible, the banking sector introduced full automation. However, this fully automated granting of credit is a particular challenge in fraud prevention for banks & financial service providers: If perpetrators find a gap in the process, they can automate their attacks to match. This results in the risk of a large number of losses, especially when discovery of the fraud happens many months later, which so often happens.
When it comes to fraud management, it’s important to have a stable defense strategy that includes all available data sources; this gives customers a reliable service while also blocking fraud. Therefore, in addition to analyzing classic application and credit agency information, other sources like device data (which can be determined via our software DEVICE IDENT), origin data and, if necessary, non-personal biometric information, should be examined.
Payment Service Provider
You’ve just received a new customer from your partner dealer that you don’t know yet. Which payment method do you allow? PayPal? Instant bank transfer? Credit card? Whoops — you were too slow! The customer gave up on waiting for you to decide and has already moved on to another shop. Payment service providers have to make decisions such as the one above in a very short amount of time with very little information. This provides an attractive breeding ground for fraudsters who are constantly looking for weak points in the buying process and who are constantly changing their attack patterns. The short process time also provides a challenge for your fraud management: Online services have to make decisions in real time, which doesn’t allow for lengthy manual processing. Therefore, automatic examination of as much information as possible is imperative. The ability to analyze devices and the exchange of information about compromised devices are the keys to meaningful fraud prevention for banks and the financial sector.
Prevention of Fraud in Motor Vehicle Financing
An automobile is almost as good as cash, and once a fraudster is able to get a car off the lot, there is little chance of getting it back undamaged. The typically short processing time of motor vehicle financing presents a challenge. Only in exceptional cases is document review available prior to a final decision being determined. Meanwhile, the process is made all the more difficult by the presence of traitorous sellers who work with fraudsters — which is sadly a common occurrence.
A characteristic of long-term successful financial service providers is good fraud prevention. In the era of automation, this will become a knockout criterion.
