The study provides competitive analysis and ranking of the leading technology vendors in the form of its SPARK Matrix™. The study offers strategic information for users to evaluate different provider capabilities, competitive differentiation, and market position.

Financial institutions  have incorporated Behavioral Biometrics technology into their workflows to enable continuous verification and authentication of a user’s identity throughout the session and not just at the entry login point. This incorporation was driven by the rise of sophisticated fraud attacks and the inefficiencies of physical biometrics. While the technology is still in an emerging state, it provides a wide range of advanced functionalities for multiple use cases supporting account takeover protection, account origination fraud, social engineering scams, proactive mule detection, protection against malware infections and RAT attacks, device & network anomalies, and digital payment monitoring through continued innovation and investments by leading vendors.

Money Mule And Crypto Schemes Now Top Money Laundering Threats, According to New Research from Feedzai

November 1, 2022

Archives Press Releases

  • AML professionals cite money mule schemes as the tactic most commonly used by money launderers, followed by multi-customer cross-wallet activity.
  • Using crypto exchanges to clean dirty cash is the third most common money laundering scheme, but just 26% of AML professionals say their firms evaluate crypto risk  
  • Data sharing between AML and fraud teams helps spot money laundering mules but one in five firms don’t collaborate internally  
  • Most AML professionals think a RiskOps approach bolsters AML efforts, yet most are not prioritising it as a top compliance goal 

San Mateo, Calif., London, United Kingdom & Lisbon, Portugal – November 1, 2022 – Money mule schemes, multi-customer cross-wallet activity and the use of crypto exchanges are the most common money laundering techniques, yet most firms are failing to make use of available technology to mitigate the threat, according to the latest research from Feedzai, the world’s first RiskOps platform for financial risk management.

The State of Global Anti Money Laundering Compliance Report surveyed 636 Anti-Money Laundering (AML) compliance experts, representing 77 companies around the world, most of them from the financial services industry, and overall 74% of respondents cited money mule schemes – both unwitting (44%) and witting (30%) – as the most common money laundering threats.

Furthermore, 56% said that multi-customer, cross-wallet payment activity – a favored tactic of money launderers as it enables them to move funds between different accounts to avoid detection – is the second most common money laundering typology.

The research also found that the crypto market is increasingly being targeted by money launderers; more than half (51%) of the AML professionals surveyed said the use of crypto and other non-compliant exchanges is the most common money laundering threat, while 19% cited crypto ATMs.

When asked what they believe the biggest challenges to their AML programs will be over the next two years, the top answers were ever-changing AML regulations (17%) – specifically around emerging markets and multi-customer, cross wallet activity – and crypto/blockchain (16%), followed by product implementation (7%).

However, despite citing crypto abuse as one of the biggest AML threats and one of the most significant challenges, just 26% of firms currently monitor crypto risks. Furthermore, AML professionals also believe data sharing bolsters AML efforts, but 19% admit their AML and fraud teams do not share data – even though a RiskOps approach helps identify money laundering sooner – and 15% ‘don’t know if they do.

Feedzai’s research found that most respondents believe a collaborative approach to data is vital in the fight against money laundering; 61% said automated collation of data from multiple vendors will be a top AML/KYC (Know Your Customer) trend over the next five years, while half (50%) said using a RiskOps approach for data sharing between FIs will bolster anti-money laundering efforts.

However, when asked what their main goals were for 2022, just 29% said creating a single customer view and less than a quarter (23%) said increasing data sharing between company departments. The top three priorities were achieving Perpetual Know Your Customer (pKYC) (54%), reducing false positives (54%) and accelerating AML investigations (45%).

Nick Parfitt, Principal, AML SME, at Feedzai said: “Money laundering threats are constantly evolving. Our data shows that multi-customer, cross-wallet payment activity to move funds between different accounts, and the use of crypto exchanges are the top money laundering tactics, and that doing more to address these challenges are all top concerns for AML compliance teams.

“Yet, most respondents named implementing pKYC and reducing false positives as their main goals for 2022, revealing there is still some misalignment on how to address AML going forward.”

“AML compliance professionals often feel like they are constantly catching up to address the latest financial crime patterns, frequently using yesterday’s technology and tools to address tomorrow’s money laundering challenges.”

“Taking a RiskOps approach provides a path forward to make better use of data, do more to address the threat of cryptocurrency and enable AML teams to demonstrate their effectiveness and root out money mule activities.”

Multi-Customer Cross Wallet Activity:

Multi-customer cross wallet refers to a customer’s ability to have several wallets such as Google wallet, Apple wallet, virtual crypto and anonymity with those wallets. They have multiple wallets with different institutions and there isn’t any transparency.

Feedzai Introduces New Mental Health and Menstruation Leave Benefit, Enabling Self-Care Days For All Employees

October 10, 2022

Archives Press Releases

All employees will be allowed 1 paid-day off per month without having to request annual leave

San Mateo, Calif. & Lisbon, Portugal – October 10, 2022 –  On World Mental Health Day, Feedzai, the world’s first RiskOps platform for financial risk management, announces the implementation of its new mental health and menstruation leave benefit, allowing all employees one (1) day off, per month and without a salary impact, for self-care when experiencing physical, mental health, menstruation, or menopause related symptoms.

Under the new employee benefit, those who need it will not need to provide a medical certificate or doctor’s note, nor do they need to specify the reason they are taking the leave. Any requests for the Mental Health / Menstruation Leave employee benefit will be granted upon receipt.

“At Feedzai, we want to foster a more inclusive and safe working environment, ensuring we meet our employees’ needs and give them the conditions they need to thrive and be successful. We are implementing this new leave benefit because we recognize that some of our employees may be suffering from symptoms related to either their mental health, PMS, menstruation, or menopause that can impact their ability to work,” said Dalia Turner, VP of People at Feedzai. “We also know that mental health and menstruation can be uncomfortable to talk about or even taboo in the workplace, and it is important to raise awareness of these topics and ensure that our employees know that we will support them should it be needed. In conjunction with this benefit, we are training our managers, and providing them with the information they need to better support their teams. By implementing this benefit, we want to start the conversation, to remove the stigma and ensure our employees know that these topics are nothing to be ashamed of.”

The impact of conditions affecting mental health, menstruation,  or menopause symptoms

According to Harvard Business Review, half of Millennials and 75% of Gen Zers had left roles in the past for mental health reasons, both voluntarily and involuntarily, compared with 34% of respondents overall.

Whilst, between 15-25% of people with periods endure from moderate to severe menstrual cramps that can affect their ability to work. Additionally, in the US, 11% of people who menstruate suffer from endometriosis, while 20% have dysmenorrhea, which are menstrual disorders that can have a dire effect on everyday life and cause worse symptoms and discomfort throughout the menstrual cycle.

As such, Feedzai will be introducing training for managers to improve education and awareness, which will help them better support their teams and be aware of the diverse issues that don’t impact everyone in the same way.

The company had already introduced the four-day work week in August 2021 with the aim of promoting well-being and work life balance among the more than 600 employees  worldwide.

September 27, 2022

Archives Press Releases

Lisbon, Portugal & London, UK 27th September 2022 Feedzai, the world’s first RiskOps platform for financial risk management, announced that it has been named as a leader in the IDC MarketScape: Worldwide Responsible AI for Integrated Financial Crime Management Platforms 2022 Vendor Assessment. ( doc #US47457622, July 2022.)

The IDC MarketScape evaluated the vendors on fairness, explainability, robustness, lineage and transparency – the five foundational elements of responsible Artificial Intelligence (AI), or the framework that builds trust within AI solutions. According to the report, “Feedzai has been at the forefront of responsible machine learning for financial crimes management identification and detection for a few years now and has implemented some of the most widely used open source frameworks and tools for flexibility in ML creation. Organizations appreciate its ability to improve and accelerate development and deployment of those models into a wide variety of environments.”

“There are still many Financial Institutions that make unfair decisions using biased algorithms. And at Feedzai we believe that we don’t need to compromise on accuracy to have fairness,” said Pedro Bizarro, Co-Founder and Chief Science Officer at Feedzai. “This recognition from the IDC MarketScape cements Feedzai’s position as a Leader in the Responsible AI space. It’s a culmination of the hard work, research, investment and dedication at Feedzai to create not only the best performing AI capabilities for detecting and stopping fraud, but also models that are fairer and with much less bias.”

“The complexities of identifying and detecting asymmetric criminal behavior in the current landscape requires approaches that use the best-of-breed and explainable AI technologies while maintaining responsible security practices,” said Jerry Silva, Vice President of Financial Insights at IDC.  ”Open source tools powered by optimization like those provided by Feedzai allow organizations to build portable machine learning pipelines that can run on premises or on cloud without significant code changes. Feedzai provides a multilayered solution approach with patented tools to help measure/identify patterns to keep FIs safe and compliant.”

According to the report, “Feedzai has developed a strong culture of communicating, sharing, and updating ML capabilities with clients to maintain explainability and transparency in model development. This also includes clients developing their own models.” 


Continuous investment in Research

The company already had 12 patent submissions this year and invests about 26% of its annual revenue in R&D, introduced last year Feedzai Fairband, an AutoML algorithm that automatically discovers less biased machine learning models with zero additional model training costs. Fairband introduced Responsible AI to many leaders in the financial services sector and proved how it’s both accessible and attainable for financial services organisations worldwide. 

More recently, the company also released FairGBM, a constrained version of gradient boosted trees that optimises for both performance and fairness between groups. And it does so without sacrificing predictive performance. FairGBM was open sourced for non-commercial use, allowing any organization committed to delivering model fairness the ability to do so at scale.

Feedzai together with Lloyds Banking Group recognized as a Aite-Novarica Group 2022 Fraud Impact Award Winner

August 15, 2022

Archives Press Releases

  • Feedzai’s RiskOps Platform recognized for their work with with Lloyds Banking Group in Best Transaction Fraud Monitoring and Decisioning Innovation category
  • The global award highlights how Feedzai’s patented innovation increased protection for banking customers against scams, and significantly lowered risk  and fraud losses 

San Mateo, Calif. & Lisbon, Portugal – August 15, 2022 Feedzai, the world’s first RiskOps platform for financial risk management has been named Best Transaction Fraud Monitoring and Decisioning Innovation in the Aite-Novarica Group 2022 Fraud Impact Innovation Awards. The award highlights how Feedzai empowers the bank’s data scientists to protect customers from scams and other fraud using a patented algorithm and providing a 360-degree entity view of payment risk. Due to its proficiency in mitigating fraud risk, Feedzai’s patent innovation is helping many financial institutions including Lloyds Banking Group, one of the largest retail banks in the world.

According to recent reports, financial crime has been on the rise since the COVID-19 pandemic began and large numbers of people have turned online for their banking activities. In the U.S., the impact of identity fraud last year was $52 billion in financial loss, affecting 42 million consumer victims (Javelin Research). In the U.K., authorized push payment scams reached £355 million in the first half of 2021, a year-on-year increase of 70 percent.

“Today’s fraud scams are increasingly hard to stop by traditional solutions because the transactions involve genuine customers on their actual devices, at their usual IP,” said Pedro Barata, Chief Product Officer Feedzai. “Lloyds Banking Group and Feedzai have pioneered an approach that utilizes all available data across multiple channels to make fair fraud risk decisions in milliseconds, based on an individual’s specific details and activities, not one that is dependent on generalized customer groupings.”

Feedzai RiskOps Platform has been proven to increase protection for banking customers against scams. The innovation and technical strengths of the solution contributed to the award win, as they provide customers with tangible benefits, including:

  • Financial crime risk mitigation – Higher detection rates and lower false-positives help protect banks and their customers from the costly and distressing experience of fraud and scams.
  • Enhanced user experience – reduces friction for good customers and lowers the number of unnecessary contacts with analysts and call centers.

Operational efficiency – Keeps intervention rates low and ensures a less complex system through model-driven as well as rule-driven systems.

“Organized crime continues to attack financial services firms and consumers, always finding new and clever ways to circumvent their defenses. Legacy approaches are less effective at keeping pace with, and adapting to, the escalating threat landscape,” says Chuck Subrt, Fraud & AML Practice Director at Aite-Novarica Group. “Fraud and AML executives recognize the imperative for more innovative tools that can drive meaningful intelligence, smarter decision-making, and better outcomes,” he explains.

“Feedzai leverages machine learning and automation to overcome the difficulty many institutions have with legacy AML programs which operate with siloed, disparate systems creating a pixelated view of risk,” said Pedro Barata, CPO at Feedzai. “We believe our continued investment in R&D alongside our unified, RiskOps-based approach across AML is why we are consistently endorsed by customers and are a strong performer in the Forrester Wave report”. 

In the last year, Feedzai’s AML suite has helped customers monitor over 200 territories with over 90% precision for high-priority alerts.

Findings in The Forrester WaveTM Anti-Money-Laundering Solutions report
Feedzai received the highest possible scores in the following criteria:

  • Enhancements: Watchlist management
  • Supporting services: Developers
