Synthetic identity fraud’s growth is accelerating and financial services and fintech companies are struggling in their efforts to control the threat, to great consequences. A survey of 500 U.S. fraud and risk professionals with a minimum seniority of manager reveals that for half, their company’s synthetic fraud prevention is at best only somewhat effective. And the ramifications of having inadequate protection is severe:
- 87% of companies have extended credit to synthetic customers
- 20% estimate average loss per incident is from $50K to $100K
- 23% put it at more than $100k per incident
In this report, we detail the prevalence of synthetic fraud, fraudsters’ behaviors, the impact of companies, and their preparedness for evolving threats.
