For years, US businesses and institutions have relied on a limited set of data points to validate identities.

Welcome from Matthew Thompson; Socure SVP, GM Government

Today, many enterprise banks and large public sector agencies do not have a 360° view of identity across every line of business. These silos between fraud and AML teams and between lines of business lead to vulnerabilities for attack, as well as investigation shortfalls. Identity hub strategies that unify the view of identity across the organization are beginning to emerge to make an impact and reduce the pain. Hear from those already in the trenches making change.

The current approach to approving financial transactions often overlooks a crucial detail: every scam relies on a “receiving” criminal backed by a mule account to facilitate the receipt of stolen funds. How can we unmask the hidden “receiver” that fuels the scam economy to disrupt this vicious cycle of fraud?

The US has a $100 billion first-party fraud problem with impact across banks and public sector agencies. Most first-party fraudsters are repeat offenders and intentionally manipulate identity, leaving institutions to become sitting ducks. Further impact? These attacks dilute the ability to tackle third-party and synthetic fraud. Just as the challenge is identity-related—so is the remedy.
