Here’s what we discussed:

Synthetic identity fraud is a growing crime wreaking havoc in the fintech space. It entails a bad actor using elements of personal information from real people to create what appears to be an authentic identity. Because the fake identities are pieced together using real elements from potential good customers, it can be very challenging to detect and combat this type of fraud using traditional identity verification methods.

Let’s take Buy Now, Pay Later (BNPL) as an example of how synthetic identity fraud plays out more broadly in the financial services space. Given how competitive customer acquisition is for these companies, speed of decisioning and the ability to service thin-file applicants remain a high priority. This makes them a great illustration of the broader challenges that synthetic identity fraud pose to the rest of the financial services market.

Ultimately, regardless of whether you’re a BNPL or traditional financial institution, it comes down to the same question: How do you as a financial institution balance customer acquisition with fraud prevention?

Join Ekata, a Mastercard company, live on Thursday, March 3, 2022, at 10 am CST when Ian Li, Director of Global Strategic Accounts, will answer that question. He’ll lead the group in a discussion about:

  • The ongoing threat of synthetic identity theft for financial institutions
  • How to spot synthetic identities early in the onboarding waterfall
  • Identity verification strategies and tools to protect your business
