How Can Banks PreventNew Account Fraud?

An abundance of compromised data available on the dark web provides criminals plenty of opportunities to commit new account fraud at scale using a combination of identity theft and synthetic identity tactics. Financial institutions (as well as other organizations across different industries) must constantly be on the lookout for fake accounts linked to fraudulent activity.

• The applicant is a real person.
• They are not a fraudster.
• They are someone the organization wants to do business with.
