AU10TIX Responds to 57% Increase in Identity Fraud in UK Insurance With Offering 2nd Generation ID Authentication and Onboarding Technology
Nicosia, Cyprus (PRWEB) March 03, 2016 -- Fraud specialists "Synectics Solutions" has recently warned insurers of a heightened identity fraud risk in 2016. According to the company, the increasing availability of fraudulently harvested data increases translates to increasing instances of identity fraud with potential dire consequences in terms of loss and regulatory (non)compliance. According to the company, financial sector analysis of the national Syndicated Intelligence for Risk Avoidance (Sira) revealed applications for current accounts and credit cards were already heavily targeted by identity fraudsters in 2015, reporting a 57% increase in identity fraud (Source: http://www.postonline.co.uk/post/news/2448336/insurers-warned-over-increased-risk-of-identity-fraud)
The insurance industry is thus joining the swelling ranks of financial services, especially online and mobile, that recognize the imminent need for the use of technology to help mitigate the risk while maintaining competitiveness and operating efficiency. To those companies AU10TIX is offering the only 2nd generation technology on the market today, offering deep, multi-factor forgery and risk detection while speeding up customer processing and reducing risk of abandonment thanks to frictionless application and fast response.
“It was a question of time for the insurance industry to join in”, says Ron Atzmon, Managing Director of AU10TIX: “Like any regulated financial service they must respond to the increasing threat, and like any competitive industry they must strive to increase operating efficiency and customer conversion success rates. AU10TIX can help them achieve both objectives, probably better than any alternative they might want to look at“.
“What we are drawing attention to is not just existence of the need but also the availability of a game-changing technology that's already empowering some of the world's major players”, says Ofer Friedman, VP Marketing of AU10TIX: “Automating customer ID authentication is not new. What's new in 2nd generation technology is the depth, speed, reliability, level of automation and ability to handle sub-optimal ID qualities. We strongly recommend anyone who hasn't done so to book a visit in one of our coming intro tours.“
