Ekata - Reducing friction for good customers while stopping fraud
Common Sense Virtual Roundtable:

Reducing friction for good customers while stopping fraud

October 22nd, Successfully held

Presented by

Ekata

Here’s what we discussed:

Synthetic identity fraud makes up 20%, or over $6 billion, of credit losses. Sophisticated criminals combine real (stolen) and fake information to create convincing, verifiable identities to open fraudulent accounts and commit various types of transaction fraud. In this roundtable, we discussed how probabilistic identity data plays a role in verifying good and bad customers during the account opening or application process.

Moderated by

Here is what we learned:

Synthetic identity fraud makes up 20%, or over $6 billion, of credit losses. Sophisticated criminals combine real (stolen) and fake information to create convincing, verifiable identities to open fraudulent accounts and commit various types of transaction fraud.
In this digital roundtable hosted by Ekata, how probabilistic identity data plays a role in verifying good and bad customers during the account opening or application process was discussed.
Here are some of the highlights from the conversation. 

Finding synthetic IDs takes patience.

Synthetic IDs can take up to 7 years to manifest: not in 3-6 months or 60-90 days like third-party fraud. They can be fascinating to watch manifest, and there are some interesting trends you can look at.

Synthetic IDs tend to look like a finger on a hand.

Look at the details about synthetic IDs and the combination of the real and fake data used. These IDs don’t tend to have children but tend to be children of another relationship.
