Fraud Detection And Prevention Market Dynamics

Driver: Rise of synthetic identities

According to the McKinsey Institute, synthetic identity fraud is currently the fastest-growing form of financial crime in the US and is also experiencing an increase globally. Presently, it constitutes 85% of all fraud cases. This fraud involves perpetrators amalgamating genuine personal information with fabricated identifiers to craft new identities. They blend authentic data fragments with false details to establish entirely new personas. Organizations face significant challenges in combatting synthetic identity fraud since its essence lies in creating fictitious victims that lack real-life existence.  Lenders face staggering exposure, with an estimated USD 3 billion in losses attributed to synthetic identity fraud across credit cards, auto loans, and unsecured loans. The surge in digital transactions and the accessibility of AI tools likely contribute to the escalation of fraud losses. AI is poised to facilitate synthetic identity theft, with platforms capable of swiftly generating synthetic customer data to link with existing Social Security Numbers. Furthermore, AI can streamline the credit application process online, as institutions often require minimal identity verification for digital presence establishment.

Although distinct from AI-generated fraud, which involves the creation of deepfakes or mimicking biometrics, synthetic identity theft is anticipated to evolve with AI assistance. Moving forward, organizations will intensify efforts to combat synthetic fraud by investing in solutions such as behavioral biometrics. These technologies scrutinize individuals' social media usage and credit activities over recent years to detect abnormal patterns, thereby impeding the proliferation of forged identities.

Restraint: False Positives

False positives present a challenge in fraud detection and prevention. Overly sensitive fraud detection systems may flag legitimate transactions as suspicious, leading to unnecessary delays, inconvenience for customers, and potential damage to customer relationships. Moreover, excessive false positives can strain resources and undermine the efficiency of fraud detection efforts. Mitigating false positives requires fine-tuning detection algorithms, incorporating contextual information into decision-making processes, and continuously refining detection strategies to balance accuracy and efficiency in identifying fraudulent activities. 69% of global buyers are reducing their spending, as reported by PwC, so it's imperative not to miss out on transactions. False positives are a direct path to customer attrition, with 25% of buyers who experience unjustified purchase rejections switching to a competitor. When a genuine customer is blocked, a genuine sale is blocked. The cost of false positives for online merchants is USD 443 billion annually. The cost of actual credit card fraud is estimated to cost online merchants USD 408 billion over the next decade. According to Forbes, one-third of shoppers in the US who encounter a false decline state said that they won't patronize the same merchant again. This figure increases to two-fifths in Europe.

Opportunity: Increasing use of predictive analytics in FDP

The opportunity presented by predictive analytics lies in its capacity to empower organizations to foresee and preempt fraudulent activities before they materialize. By harnessing predictive analytics and machine learning algorithms, businesses can analyze vast datasets to identify patterns, trends, and anomalies indicative of potential fraud. This proactive approach enables organizations to implement preemptive measures, such as enhanced authentication protocols, transaction monitoring, and anomaly detection, to thwart fraudulent attempts before they inflict financial losses or reputational damage. Leveraging predictive analytics enhances the efficacy of fraud detection and prevention efforts and streamlines resource allocation by focusing on high-risk areas. Ultimately, organizations equipped with predictive analytics capabilities can stay one step ahead of fraudsters, fortifying their defenses and safeguarding their assets and stakeholders more effectively. Companies providing predictive analytics tools include SAP Analytics Cloud for healthcare, marketing, and manufacturing, Alteryx AI Platform for finance and supply chain, and Tableau for retail.

Challenge: Cross-Channel Fraud

Due to its multifaceted nature, cross-channel fraud poses a significant challenge to fraud detection and prevention efforts. Fraudsters adeptly exploit various channels, including online platforms, mobile apps, and in-person transactions, to perpetrate fraudulent activities. The interconnectedness of these channels complicates detection efforts, as fraudulent behaviors may manifest differently across different touchpoints, making it difficult to discern patterns and identify suspicious activities.  Recent instances of cross-channel fraud include fraudulent money transfers to fictitious deposits or mule accounts, followed by cash withdrawals from ATMs. Often, innocent third parties unwittingly become accomplices in these fraudulent activities. In October 2021, QIIB, one of Qatar’s leading banks, recently selected IBM to deliver cross-channel fraud prevention to its customers. This supports QIIB’s aim to provide its customers with the ability to bank securely while offering an innovative and positive customer experience.
