As identity fraud continues to plague the online space, a firm called Socure has achieved a much-needed victory against fraudsters, by successfully eliminating a staggering 204,536 synthetic digital identities from the U.S. economy in 2023. It pulled this off through the Sigma Synthetic Fraud product, and has effectively prevented more than $3 billion in potential losses.

Socure attributes its success to the cutting-edge Sigma Synthetic V4, a product that harnesses the power of third-party and network feedback data to unveil patterns linked to synthetic identity fraud. The newest model incorporates "proof of life" data sources, including property records, driver’s licenses, and educational data.

Synthetic identity fraud, a nefarious combination of stolen, altered, and fabricated Personally Identifiable Information (PII), poses a significant threat to sectors including the gig economy, small business banking, telecom, cryptocurrency, and challenger banks.

In a collaborative effort to combat synthetic identity fraud in digital lending for credit unions, Scienaptic AI and SentiLink have introduced a groundbreaking product. Research from SentiLink indicates that as many as 1.8 million consumer credit accounts may have been compromised by synthetic identity fraud in 2023 alone. Over 30 percent of these accounts were at risk of major delinquency or charge-offs, with average losses ranging from $8,000 to $10,000 per incident. The tools developed by Scienaptic AI and SentiLink play a crucial role in helping credit unions identify fraudulent applications, thereby preserving the integrity of the lending process. These tools also offer a unique solution for existing members to re-verify their identities when changes in Personally Identifiable Information (PII) occur on already existing accounts.

This collaboration not only enhances the safety of financial institutions but also streamlines the onboarding process by approving more members securely, without introducing unnecessary friction.
