Experian fraud analytics

Application fraud causes losses to financial institutions with weak fraud prevention processes. Prevention through indiscriminate manual application reviews is slow, costly and turns good customers away.  A better approach is to use fraud analytics to fight application fraud.

Application fraud is a growing challenge for financial institutions impacting both profitability and overall customer experience.  This trend is caused by two primary factors

• Economic hardship has driven increasing numbers of over-indebted individuals to misrepresent their qualifications for credit.
• Organised criminals increasingly turning towards application fraud using third party personal information farmed from the internet, social media and other places.

Financial institutions are now more vulnerable to fraud attacks due to customers expecting a rapid response to credit applications and decreasing numbers of traditional face to face interactions. These factors have made application fraud into a serious and compounding leak in the profitability of financial institutions.
