Form3 and Feedzai Launch Industry-First APP Fraud Solution for the UK Market

March 26, 2024

Archives Press Releases

  • New solution offers PSPs inbound and outbound payment fraud intelligence in one solution for the first time

26th March 2024, LondonForm3, the cloud-native account-to-account platform, today launches a new, innovative authorised push payment fraud (APP fraud) prevention solution, powered by Feedzai, the market leader in anti-fraud and financial crime software. The new product is the first solution, built using fully supervised machine learning, to leverage collaborative intelligence to understand the behaviour of both the payment sender and recipient, to determine the risk of the payment being made in real-time.

Form3’s new APP Fraud Solution works by combining its account-to-account payment processing with Feedzai’s fraud and financial crime analytics. This produces a model that is trained to identify risk in both the individual sending the money and the person receiving the money. Understanding who is receiving the money is key to preventing fraud, as APP fraud involves impersonation that manipulates the victim into sending the money.

This new solution closes the gaps in intelligence that the fraudsters utilise to be able to use faster payments to target UK consumers and businesses. The solution’s model is then able to detect 95% of fraud at market-standard false positive rates.

Mike Walters, Form3’s CEO, said: “The best way to tackle the rise of APP fraud is the use of collaborative intelligence and cutting edge technologies that allow the real-time identification of scams within the payment message. By bringing together Form3’s payment processing expertise, and Feedzai’s fraud and financial crime solutions, we can tackle APP fraud so that UK banks can make faster payments safer. Feedzai is the solution provider of choice for two of the top four financial institutions in the UK, so we are partnering with a market leader to combat APP fraud.”

With APP fraud losses accounting for nearly £500m per annum, the solution is timely, as it has been developed on the back of new regulation from the Payment Systems Regulator. This sees victims of APP fraud being refunded by their bank from October 2024, with reimbursement now being the responsibility of both the sending and the receiving institutions.

Pedro Barata, CPO at Feedzai, adds: “There is increasing regulation in this space, and rightly so – we’ve got to do everything in our power to protect the end consumer from APP fraud. With reimbursement becoming mandatory from October this year, it’s also in the interests of all banks to collectively ensure they prevent fraud and save huge payouts. By combining the expertise of Feedzai and Form3, we can drastically reduce the level of vulnerability in the payment process and give our customers the real-time intelligence that they need to stop fraudsters in their tracks.”

The partnership underscores Form3’s commitment to ‘doing well by doing good’, employing cutting-edge technology to tackle the pervasive issue of fraud, which has profoundly impacted countless individuals worldwide.

The service will go live in April, with a full rollout in the UK market expected in the summer of 2024 – ahead of the implementation of the new rules in October 2024.

A colossal $159 billion lost to fraud and scams, finds new research from Feedzai and the Global Anti-Scam Alliance

February 22, 2024

Archives Press Releases

  • GASA and Feedzai’s 2023 report reveals nearly a quarter of Americans (23%) fell victim to scammers over the course of the last 12 months, losing an average of $2,663 each
  • Three quarters (73%) encountered a scam at least once a month, with Gmail and Facebook posing the greatest threats

San Mateo, Calif., 22nd February 2024 – The rise of fraud in the United States continues apace, costing a huge $159 billion in one year alone, according to new research released today by Feedzai in partnership with the Global Anti-Scam Alliance (GASA). 

The 2023 State of Scams report shows that nearly a quarter (23%) of US citizens parted with their money after falling victim to fraud despite an overwhelming majority (69%) saying they felt confident in their ability to spot a scam before reaching that stage.  

This highlights the sophistication of tactics deployed by scammers and, with further data from the research showing the volume of such scams is also high, there is a great risk to consumers. Nearly three quarters (73%) of those surveyed encountered a scam at least once a month, with a shocking 15% saying they encountered one every single day.  

Gmail and Facebook were by far the most prominent sources of threat, with 53% and 52% of respondents respectively identifying these platforms as the ones on which most scammers tried to contact them last year. With Instagram (22%), WhatsApp (16%) and Google (17%) following closely behind, it is clear that all related parties – big tech, banks, telcos regulators and consumers themselves – must work together to combat and overcome malicious actors. 

With each victim losing an average of $2,663, amounting to 0.6% of total U.S. GDP, more must be done. Urgency and clarity on approach is key. 

Nuno Sebastião, Co-founder and CEO at Feedzai, said: 

“Scammers are relentlessly targeting consumers and, as much as we need and want all our online services from online banking to social media, they do present more opportunities for fraudsters. There are simply more areas of vulnerability for them to exploit. More should be done to both protect and reimburse victims of fraud, and it’s true that banks and financial institutions play a big role here, but this responsibility cannot solely fall on their shoulders.  

“If we are going to stand a chance in the fight against scams we need a collaborative approach – big tech companies, regulators, software providers and consumers must all work together to put measures in place from all angles.  

“It feels like a big job, but it needn’t be hard. Using technology that can continuously provide customer-centric risk-scoring as well as biometric and behavioral pattern analysis, we can learn each consumer’s unique approach and use it to more effectively identify suspicious activity – we can prevent scams before they even happen, and without the consumer even realizing. We’re proud to be partnered with GASA to highlight such an important issue, and to be at the forefront of the fight.” 

Jorjj Abraham, Managing Director at GASA adds: 

“The findings are an important reminder of the scale of the fraud problem facing us all, and this is not just a problem in the U.S. Consumers are savvy, but fraudsters are increasingly sophisticated in their approach, and that means we need an increasingly sophisticated solution to match. Technology is really the only way forward if we’re going to get ahead of the game. If we combine cutting edge tech that prevents scams before they happen with an approach in which we’re not afraid to work together to share insights and knowledge around scams, we can tackle the alarming statistics revealed in our research. We’re proud of the work we’re doing, and Feedzai is crucial in helping us lead the fight so we’re confident of a brighter future.”

Feedzai and Mastercard to expand crypto fraud protection for consumers globally

November 20, 2023

Archives Press Releases

  • Feedzai will leverage Mastercard’s Ciphertrace crypto intelligence solutions to reduce the risk of account-to-account fraud flowing into crypto exchanges

San Mateo, Calif, 20 November 2023: Feedzai a financial crime and risk management solution, and Mastercard – a global technology company in the payments industry – are combining technologies to increase crypto fraud protection for hundreds of millions of consumers.

Today, an estimated 40% of scam transactions exit directly from a bank account to a crypto exchange. According to Feedzai’s recent report, The State of Global Anti Money Laundering (AML) Compliance Report 2023, the monitoring of cryptocurrency effectively is still one of the biggest challenges for financial institutions.

Addressing the need to implement effective AML solutions, Feedzai and Mastercard will collaborate to integrate Mastercard’s world-leading crypto intelligence solution, Ciphertrace Armada into Feedzai’s unique RiskOps platform. RiskOps analyzes transaction data totaling over $1.7 trillion annually and offers a comprehensive suite of AI-based solutions designed to stop fraud and financial crime at the source – allowing banks to be alerted in milliseconds when a transaction appears fraudulent.

Ciphertrace Armada allows banks, crypto exchanges, wallets, crypto ATMS and other Virtual Asset Service Providers (VASPs) to better assess the fraud risk in digital asset transactions. In pairing these technologies together, Feedzai’s customers, who collectively protect over 900 million consumers globally, will now be able to identify and prevent transactions involving fraudulent crypto exchanges before they occur.

The partnership comes just months after Mastercard announced its new solution that helps banks identify scams in account-to-account payments. Using AI, Mastercard Consumer Fraud Risk enables banks to intervene in real time and to stop a payment before funds leave a victim’s account.

The combined intelligence means that financial institutions can stop transactions involving high risk and potentially fraudulent crypto exchanges in real time, alerting the customer to the risk before money leaves their account.

Nuno Sebastião, CEO of Feedzai said, “Mastercard’s commitment to protecting its global customer base from fraud aligns perfectly with Feedzai’s mission. Criminals use crypto as part of their scam strategies, with the scam proceeds often ending up being funneled to an unauthorized or otherwise risky crypto exchange. It also continues to remain a challenge for AML professionals as criminals become ever more sophisticated and money laundering techniques advance.  This global partnership will further empower banks to protect their customers’ against the risks associated with crypto and instill further trust in the ecosystem.” 

Ajay Bhalla, president of Cyber and Intelligence at Mastercard said: This is an exciting step in our journey to secure the digital ecosystem. We’re providing financial institutions with the insights they need to be able to prevent transactions involving fraudulent crypto exchanges. We are delighted that, through this new partnership, we are able to go further, by helping to stop fraud and payments to scams before they take place, giving customers more choice, security and, most importantly, reinforcing trust.”

New report finds that more than 80% of organizations across APAC are using artificial intelligence (AI) to tackle fraud

November 15, 2023

Archives Press Releases

  • Banks and payment service providers across APAC make progress with fraud prevention but it still remains a challenge, finds new report from Feedzai and Chartis
  • Despite advancements, the report finds scams present a growing challenge in APAC with only 6% of respondents confident in their ability to adapt to the changing nature of scams 

15 November 2023, Singapore: Today, Feedzai, the world’s first RiskOps platform for financial risk management, and Chartis Research, leaders in risk technology research and insights, have released a joint report exploring how financial firms are responding to fraud in the APAC region.

Leading the charge in the global fight against fraud, Feedzai and Chartis’ joint report, Scam Prevention in Asia-Pacific: A Survey of Banking and Payment Provider Professionals will be launched at Singapore FinTech Festival and also coincides with International Fraud Awareness Week . The report surveyed financial crime professionals from 48 banks and 27 payment service providers (PSPs) in Australia, Malaysia, the Philippines, Thailand and Singapore and found that advancements have been made to the approach to scams, with more than 9 in 10 organizations (97%) surveyed having some form of awareness program in place.

Other improvements include better internal touchpoints for scams, with two-thirds of firms surveyed having a regular touchpoint, such as regular briefings or training on identifying fraud as well as an improvement in the use of technology. More than 80% of organizations now use artificial intelligence (AI) in some form to detect fraud. AI-based fraud assessments involve the use of machine learning (ML) algorithms to analyze historical fraud data and identify patterns and anomalies that may indicate fraudulent activity.

However, the report also found that as fraud and scams become more sophisticated, scams present a growing challenge and concern in the region. Increased operational costs were considered the largest impact of fraud and scams. Those in Australia were most likely to cite increased operational costs as the biggest impact of fraud detection (67% of respondents), while those in Singapore were least likely (38%).

Although 46% of respondents felt they had comprehensive scam controls in place, most didn’t feel their firm could adapt to changing typologies fast enough, with only 6% fully confident in their ability to adapt. PSPs are more likely to have comprehensive controls than banks, with 60% of PSPs planning to improve fraud detection controls, compared with 39% of banks.

 With almost 90% of respondents believing that scam reimbursement regulations will be introduced in the next 12 months, banks and PSPs have to prepare. Almost 30% of respondents cited reimbursement as the largest impact of scams. This concern is likely to become more pertinent given expectations around future regulation.

Tom Clifford , Strategic Accounts Director at Feedzai said: “Banks and payment service providers have clearly made progress with fraud prevention, but it still remains a challenge. As fraud and scams continue to evolve and become more sophisticated, the industry needs to continuously adapt to the changing landscape.

The use of advanced technologies, like AI, has definitely enhanced the ability to detect and prevent scams. While many organizations have comprehensive controls in place, the capability to leverage enterprise data and adapt to the changing fraud landscape remains a significant concern. With potential scam reimbursement regulations just around the corner, banks and payment service providers will need to become more proactive in real-time fraud mitigation.”

Nick Vitchev, Research Director at Chartis said: “Scams pose a grave threat to consumers, institutions, and governments across Asia Pacific. Working with Feedzai, Chartis carried out a study to understand the relative priorities, challenges, and solutions across some of the more dynamic markets.

This survey found that the challenge of detecting and preventing scams is sizeable across the region, and varied across markets.,. The good news is that all of the markets we surveyed are committed to preventing scams via a variety of methods. The other good news is that Asia Pacific already contains institutions and governments that are leading the global fight against scams, and those that may be on the same trajectory can learn from those trailblazers.”

AI is the most effective method for tackling money laundering threats, according to AML professionals

August 15, 2023

Archives Press Releases

  • New Feedzai research of anti-money laundering (AML) professionals unveiled the most significant threats and solutions to AML processes
  • 46% state that increasingly sophisticated money laundering techniques, including generative AI technology, is one of the biggest threats their business faces
  • 53% note that the majority of money laundering activity they encounter is linked to cryptocurrencies
  • AI is the preferred solution to tackle financial crime, with 60% of respondents already seeing its positive effects in driving efficiencies in their AML processes and 51% viewing it as a critical element of future AML programs

San Mateo, Calif: AI is the most effective method for improving anti-money laundering (AML) processes and efficiencies according to AML professionals, research from Feedzai,  a leading provider of financial crime and risk management solutions

Feedzai’s The State of Global Anti Money Laundering Compliance Report 2023 surveyed compliance professionals to discover what the biggest threats and opportunities are in the AML ecosystem. It found that 46% of AML professionals are concerned about increasingly sophisticated money laundering techniques, including generative AI. The threat from generative AI and linked technology is now the top challenge for AML professionals, overtaking regulation, cryptocurrency and blockchain, the top threats cited in 2022.

Despite no longer occupying the top spot, crypto still remains front of mind for AML professionals. Over half (53%) of those surveyed said that the money laundering activities within their scope are predominantly linked to cryptocurrency transactions. Cryptocurrencies’ anonymous and decentralized nature is being exploited to conceal the origins of illicit funds, exacerbating the challenges in detection and monitoring.

As criminals utilize increasingly sophisticated technology, so too do those seeking to protect consumers. A third (33%) of AML professionals say that AI and machine learning are the most effective method for preventing money laundering. Of those already adopting AI, 60% said that the technology has already been effective in driving efficiencies in their organization’s AML processes.

Looking ahead, over half (51%) of respondents believe that an increased use of AI and machine learning is the future of AML and KYC (Know Your Customer) programmes. With the potential to instantly analyze huge data sets, AI is already helping investigators identify bad actors and diffuse threats. As a result of AI integration, we’ll see improved KYC processes, reduced false positives and also a reduced cost burden on compliance professionals.

Nick Parfitt, Principal AML SME at Feedzai said, “Fraudsters are capitalizing on fast-developing technologies to trick existing AML programmes, in many cases using generative AI to their advantage. Our latest report reiterates the demand from AML professionals for their organizations to adopt AI in combination with human insight as a defensive weapon to improve their compliance process and efficiencies. 

“Banks and financial institutions are sitting on a wealth of data that they can use to better protect their customers and business. By taking a RiskOps approach, they can put this data to good use by creating a 360-degree view of customer risk that addresses the entire lifecycle of financial crime and compliance, , – helping to stop criminals in their tracks before they can do any damage .”
