PALO ALTO, Calif., Nov. 21, 2018 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- IdentityMind, Digital Identities You Can Trust, today announced that Peiam Arad, Business Development EMEA, IdentityMind, will be speaking on "Identification and Compliance for Prepaid Products" at 5:30 pm, November 22, at Prepaid Kongress, Quadriga Forum, Berlin.

In a brief, 30-minute presentation, attendees will learn:

“As we’re living in a digital age, and a data-driven world, we should leverage any data to not only verify digital identities, but also understand if we could do business with them and what risk is behind this relationship.” – Peiam Arad, Business Development EMEA, IdentityMind

Post this
  • The history and evolution of the global know your customer regime
  • Current prepaid card attack vectors
  • How FinTechs, banks, financial institutions, and payment processors can secure their operations by implementing a trusted digital identities-based anti-money laundering (AML) and know your customer (KYC) approach to prevent prepaid card fraud

"Identity theft, prepaid card fraud and money laundering knows no geographical boundaries," said Arad. "There is a lot of identity theft in Germany and the EU due to numerous data breaches, which have unleashed millions of personally identifiable information (PII) into the hands of nefarious actors," said Arad. "With that comes exploitation of prepaid cards. They are attractive targets for criminals, as they are easy to exercise and typically have fewer controls on them than credit or debit cards issued by banks."

Credit cards require a person to be creditworthy while debit cards require the user to have a bank account. Prepaid cards require neither. Using easily-obtained false, stolen, or synthetic identities, criminals can access prepaid cards under a stolen identity or account from banks, financial institutions, or payment processors, and easily place, layer, and integrate illegitimate funds into the legitimate financial system.

"I wouldn't say KYC alone is broken, but it's as vulnerable as it always was," added Arad. "As we're living in a digital age, and a data-driven world, we should leverage any data to not only verify digital identities, but also understand if we could do business with them and what risk is behind this relationship."

IdentityMind's SaaS-based risk, compliance, and fraud prevention Version 2.0 platform builds, maintains, and analyzes trusted digital identities worldwide, allowing companies to perform identity proofing, transaction monitoring, sanctions and PEP screening, and to detect and prevent identity and transaction fraud. IdentityMind also integrates with an industry-leading ecosystem of more than 30 strategic third-party technology partners – providing complementary device, email, phone, identity, document, sanctions screening, geolocation, biometric, behavioral verification, and more – through a single, standards-based API.

IdentityMind was recently named to the RegTech 100 for the second consecutive year. The RegTech 100, announced by RegTech Analyst, a specialist research firm, recognizes pioneering companies transforming compliance, risk management, and cybersecurity. IdentityMind KYC, AML, and fraud prevention solutions are also recognized by a variety of leading market analysts, including Forrester's "Vendor Landscape: Anti-Money Laundering Solutions," April 2017; Representative Vendor in Gartner's "Market Guide for Identity Proofing and Corroboration," April 2018; Sample Vendor in Gartner's "Hype Cycle for Identity and Access Management Technologies, July 2018; Sample RegTech Vendor in Gartner's "Hype Cycle for Digital Banking Transformation, 2018," July 2018; Leading AML Advanced Analytics Vendor in Aite Group's "The AML of Tomorrow: Here Today," July 2018; and IDC Innovator in International Data Corporation's "IDC Innovators: Identity Proofing Solutions to Prevent New Account Fraud and Enhance KYC Compliance, 2018," July 2018.
