Maximizing AI/ML

How to Harness Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning for Comprehensive Fraud Protection

The battle against fraud and risk in financial institutions is complex, and it’s always changing. And fraud doesn’t start and end with the onboarding of applicants – it’s a continuous challenge that demands evolving strategies. This is why it’s critical to look at risk decisioning solutions, including artificial intelligence and machine learning, that can access real-time data across the journey – tackling fraud screening not just at the application stage, but throughout the entire customer lifecycle.

Real-time data for real-time decision making

Artificial intelligence and machine learning (AI/ML) play a pivotal role in detecting and preventing fraudulent activities. With financial fraud methods becoming more and more sophisticated, one key way to stay ahead of fraudsters is accessing real-time data, integrating it into your risk decisioning solutions, and automating the use of that data with AI/ML. In this way, you can react swiftly (and accurately) to ever-evolving fraud threats. 

But it’s critical to balance fraud mitigation with the customer experience. While admittedly powerful technology, AI/ML requires more than just advanced algorithms and risk models – it needs a comprehensive understanding of the overall decisioning operations, customer experience, and the regulatory and compliance landscape of financial services organizations in the regions you operate. An effective fraud decisioning model needs to not only intercept fraudsters, but it needs to be sure that it doesn’t introduce more friction for legitimate customers. Tightening the net on fraudsters isn’t the most optimal answer – we need to ensure that embedded intelligence is working efficiently to keep out the bad actors while still extending the right products and offers to a growing number of creditworthy customers.

Intelligent use of data throughout the customer journey

A common challenge that financial institutions face is the underutilization of valuable customer data that gets collected during the application process. Rather than discarding this data, it should be integrated into ongoing monitoring programs and used to enhance risk mitigation strategies, especially during high-risk events. For example, take the case of mule account detection, where initial application data contains the right indicators that help approve an applicant. But with ongoing monitoring as new data becomes available, financial institutions could intervene later if new suspicious activity is tracked. With a set-it-and-forget-it mindset and the lack of ongoing monitoring, fraudsters can more easily slip through the cracks. As fraud methods become more evolved, the risk models needed to prevent fraud need to evolve as well. Many times, actors with ill-intent will use legitimate credentials to gain access to products and services and then pull a bait-and-switch when onboarded. Without the use of ongoing monitoring and the continuous intelligent, optimized use of risk data across the journey, these sorts of situations become difficult to catch until it’s too late. 

This is why adapting quickly to new threats is so critical. Flexibility and responsiveness are key things to look for in a fraud/risk decisioning solution, because with the adaptability to add new data sources, optimize risk models based on intelligence, and change decisioning processes easily, you are able to respond to threats more effectively. AI/ML models act like the central nervous system of a modern sports car, where every component must communicate and function in unison to effectively respond to changing conditions – in the case of a car it’s road conditions, weather conditions, engine temperature, etc. In the case of fraud mitigation, you need to ensure that you can adapt quickly without being bogged down by manual processes or IT backlogs to make changes.

Efficient data integration

Not all financial institutions have the ability to integrate extensive datasets into a smart, unified model or data lake. Whether it’s technical restrictions, resource issues, IT backlogs, or the challenges of merging disparate systems, there are many factors that can hinder efficient data integration. What’s needed is an effective fraud orchestration layer, combined with low-code or no-code capabilities, allowing you to adapt and innovate as quickly as threats do, giving you a significant competitive advantage (and again, helping to maintain a positive customer experience with limited friction). 

So what are the key things to consider when it comes to enhancing your fraud mitigation strategy by harnessing AI/ML? Think of the following:

    • Does your AI/ML model for application fraud provide reliable scoring and clear explainability?

    • Can you integrate fraud-rich data into your application fraud infrastructure?

    • How easily can you integrate new data sources in response to emerging fraud trends?

    • Are you able to leverage available data to address potential post-application fraud?

    With cutting-edge technology designed to empower financial institutions to not only respond to threats in real time, but also anticipate them before they can cause harm, decisioning technology that incorporates robust AI/ML solutions will ensure your organization (and your customers) remain secure and satisfied.

    Successful Digital Transformation in Financial Services

    Q&A with Industry Experts

    Successful Digital Transformation
    in Financial Services

    • 01

      Digital transformation is critical for financial services organizations who want to thrive in our increasingly digital age. As consumers demand more and more from their financial services interactions, those organizations that don’t evolve will be left behind. But what are the keys to a successful journey?

      We recently hosted a webinar focusing on the intricacies of this transformative process, looking at key challenges and guidance for financial institutions looking towards a digitally empowered future. And from that discussion, a number of insightful audience questions were addressed – so we wanted to share some of them here with you!
    • 02

      With digital transformation came digital banking which made life easy for both consumers and would-be thieves. How can we mitigate the increasing hacking risks associated with digital  banking, from both the customer side and the bank side?

      Digitalization is increasing – and yes, so is fraud. This is where client authentication becomes so important, and truly understanding and knowing your customer is key. Device authentication for example can be critical, as well as collecting the required data to be sure we are understanding our customers without impacting the customer journey. That level of discipline needs to sit with the financial institution, without necessarily being seen or experienced by the customer. Identity theft is quite prevalent, especially in certain regions like the Nordics, so it’s critical to balance the need and desire to have strong fraud and identity management in place, without adding friction to the process for your consumers.

      How is generative AI impacting decisioning?

      There is a potential for a large impact on decisioning with the use of generative AI tools. We’re in the early adoption stages, because from a regulatory and compliance standpoint, there is a nervousness about using these tools to push businesses forward. Institutions are risk averse, cautious, and measured in the terms of the policies they implement. Corporate governances are challenges for many banks, particularly when dealing with a variety of regional regulations. In part, it comes down to explainability. While AI tools can certainly help from a risk decisioning standpoint, and should be fully explainable in that regard, there is not enough known about the control and regulation of generative AI tools to ensure that data is being used and stored properly. Ultimately, we’re early on in this journey and they will play a fundamental role in our industry over the next few years.
    • 04

      What is the importance of being able to adjust business lending and fraud rules quickly given the rate of change in the macro-economic landscape, customer behavior and MO of fraudsters? Why are organizations, particularly in the financial services industry, struggling to keep up with these rates of change?

      Often, organizations struggle to keep up with the rate of change due to the technology infrastructure in place. Being able to make changes quickly to respond to market demands and evolving threats is key to not only accurate fraud prevention, but also simply ensuring that you’re meeting the needs of your customers. If you have to wait six weeks for sign-off on a policy change, and then wait additional time for a vendor or your IT team to make iterations in your decisioning processes, you’ve left your organization susceptible. Having self-sufficiency in times like these is critical – being able to use advanced analytics to optimize decisioning strategy, quickly, and then make those changes just as quickly is key. But you need the right technology in place to support that flexibility and agility.
    • 05

      When the bank is undergoing a full digital transformation, many projects and developments are done at the same time with limited resources. What does management need to pay attention to when making decisions on priorities?

      The first step is making sure that all projects have been categorized and prioritized with the entire group, and that those priorities are aligned with the overall group/organizational strategy. Alignment is key. It is very difficult to have competing projects fighting for resources (time, money, human) and this is a common challenge among financial services institutions. Allowing for a level of flexibility and adaptability is crucial – often what helps is reevaluating priorities at set intervals, every quarter for example. The largest priorities may not change often, but the smaller, more nimble priorities can (and often do), and your project management structure should be flexible enough to accommodate that.
    • 06

      Given the increasing flow of information, number of processors and variety of processors within the competitive landscape, what is the importance of increasing the number of data connections to enhance decisions towards better business outcomes?

      Increasing data connections can be helpful, but it’s worthwhile to note that we don’t want to connect to so many that it’s overwhelming. It’s not just about more data, it’s about the right data at the right time, in order to see the real value of those data sources. Getting the right level of customer data that you need to adequately support your decisioning processes is crucial. Having a broader spectrum of data available, in terms of types of data sources and variety, as well as quality, is more important than just continually adding new data sources that won’t provide any additional value to the view of your customers (and may in fact add more friction to the journey). Data sources that allow for a strong level of automation in your decisioning processes will also be more valuable than those that require manual intervention or human oversight (which add complexity and slow down the process).
    • 07

      Will the current path of digital transformation that banks are on (locally and globally) lead to more financial stability or more future crisis scenarios (like Silicon Valley Bank)?

      Financial stability is important – we weathered this during the financial crisis in 2008, and there are continual efforts to combat any instability. One of the things that led to that instability is the fracturing of the value chain. When you have new players who are so specialized and who don’t see the whole banking picture, there are inherent risks. On the other hand, when you have large incumbents who do everything in-house, they see the whole picture, but they can often be very rigid and slow to move or make changes, which has different risks and implications on financial stability.

    Balance risk with opportunity across the customer lifecycle.
