Fraud prevention in banks continues to be crucial in today’s digital landscape and it’s imperative for fraud investigators to utilize efficient tools that empower and support their investigative work.  The current Trigger and Alert views within Account Holder Fraud Prevention have been strategically modified to enhance the service provided to fraud investigators where they can now see relevant information that is intuitive to their role.

What’s NEW in Account Holder Fraud Prevention Alert View

Account Holder Fraud Prevention’s new feature improves the Alert view and will now show a Fraud Investigator when a threat is impacting multiple accounts by highlighting data in common across IP addresses, users, phone numbers, email addresses, and accounts. It also organizes event data to display more relevant information on fraud risks that are better aligned and intuitive to a Fraud Investigator. The new features streamline link analysis, which can be a time-consuming manual exercise for Fraud Investigators. By improving views and flexibility to search for alerts, events, and data that are relevant to them, FIs are able to operate more proactively in their response to fraud alerts and improve the overall the impact of fraud prevention within their organization.

  • Fraud Investigators can now view the most relevant alert data related to an event without leaving the Alert view.
