Identity Theft

Identity theft affects as many as 15 million Americans annually.  People who's identities are stolen by thieves that drain their accounts, damage their credit, and endanger their sensitive information such as medical records. In many cases, by the time the theft has been discovered, it’s too late to fully repair the damages.

American adults lost a total of $43 billion to identity fraud in 2023, according to a new report cosponsored by AARP. 

The cost to businesses – left with unpaid bills racked up by scam artists – can be staggering.

Identity fraud provides criminals and terrorists with the tools they need to remain anonymous, gain access, avoid detection, and transfer resources, all of which are used to exploit weaknesses in the Identification Verification Framework of businesses to facilitate criminal and terrorist activities.

Businesses that lack detailed knowledge of their existing and prospective customers face dangerous exposure to risks, including regulatory fines, a tarnished corporate image and increased losses associated with fraud, all of which can erode trust in the marketplace and impact the bottom line.

This makes the overall efficiency and effectiveness of a company‘s regulatory compliance programs and identity risk management more important than ever.

FraudFighter™ works together with businesses of all sizes to provide solutions that protect their business and customers. Modeled on the same platform taken to secure IT networks from intrusion, Fraud Fighter can help you seamlessly deploy a prudent set of fraud prevention layers that organizations have found to be effective in preventing fraud across multiple points of vulnerability identified during our fraud identity review.

Benefits of Identity Verification

Validation, Verification and Authentication can be achieved through different tools working together in a controlled framework. An appropriate solution addresses the opportunity to have a dual impact, not only preventing losses from fraud, but also helping the organization attain compliance with regulatory requirements related to their Customer Identification program (CIP), “Red Flag” rules or restricted product sales activities. 

Implementing successive fraud prevention layers, suited to your specific business, will enable your organization to:

• Take steps toward USA PATRIOT Act, Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC), Bank Secrecy Act (BSA) and related regulations compliance
• Prevent crimes such as terrorism and money laundering
• Avoid government–imposed penalties
• Reduce operating costs
• Protect your company's reputation and mitigate risk
