AU10TIX Warns Against Rising “Synthetic Identity” Fraud, But Has The Technology To Help Curbed It At Customer Onboarding
Nicosia, Cyprus (PRWEB) June 24, 2014 -- “Synthetic identity theft” occurs when fraudster create new identities by combining real and fake identifying information or creating a brand new identity from fake or inaccurate information to establish new accounts” (Experian at http://losangeles.cbslocal.com/2014/06/19/synthetic-id-theft-emerging-as-fastest-growing-type-of-consumer-fraud/). Data referencing and credit rating agencies can help detect some of these fraud attempts, but these can and should be complemented with ID document authentication technology. Even the most comprehensive data referencing resources cover only specific markets and even they contain up to 20% missing, inaccurate or outdated data. As for the 20%-25% of customers who have low- or no- digital footprint, even data referencing is not an option.
Automated ID document image authentication, in particular the AU10TIX BOS online solution, is a game changer. Latest AU10TIX machine-learning technology and risk analytics algorithms enable 100% automated authentication and data extraction from online-submitted ID image. The entire process takes only 2-5 seconds, and requires no information input from customers! Furthermore, AU10TIX BOS is the only solution on the market to offer 100% automation, 3-way (Deep) authentication, and instantly workable detailed results – at such processing speed.
“Online service providers are rightfully concerned about the alarming rise in ID fraud, but at the same time also about delaying response to waiting customers”, says Ron Atzmon, Managing Director of AU10TIX: “With our standard setting AU10TIX BOS solution there is no trade-off any more. ID fraud becomes far more difficult to do and far more easy to detect. And at the same time customers can experience an easy, seamless screening and onboarding process, even if the image they submitted has not been 100% optimal. That is a big deal for all online regulated markets.”
“Regulated markets such as financial services, banking, money transfer, online trading, etc. are clearly heading towards multi-layer customer identity authentication”, says Ofer Friedman, VP Marketing of AU10TIX: “Till now, the regulatory mandated authentication of customer submitted ID document images has been primarily manual. Now service providers can benefit from strong online ID authentication which is far speedier, accurate and cost effective than any alternative. Everyone in these businesses knows that speed means higher conversion chances, higher traffic capacity and lower churn. At the same time strong automation facilities cost-effective operation and cost saving. It doesn’t go any win-win than that.”
