Fraud Watch List
Adeptra connects card issuers in real-time to share vital intelligence and stop fraud perpetrators.
We understand that identifying and preventing fraud from identity theft, application fraud, and account takeover is a major challenge for card issuers. Fraudsters assume an identity and take control of an account by substituting their contact details for those belonging to a genuine consumer. This enables them to verify transactions challenged by standard fraud checks, clear them as authentic and continue using the account. First party fraud complicates fraud processing when actual consumers may attempt to avoid paying real debt by falsely claiming it does not belong to them. In these two scenarios the consumer data elements used to open the accounts should be used to protect our clients from having the same situation happen again.
Adeptra Fraud Watch is a unique industry-wide network of global financial institutions sharing information about known fraudsters and automatically folding this information into decisioning and contact strategies. Through an automated and continually updated system, members can submit fraudster contact details from confirmed cases of application fraud or account takeover. This real-time information is instantly available to all participating organizations via a secure web portal.
Adeptra Fraud Watch helps banks and card issuers recognize when a given address or phone number belongs to a perpetrator of fraud before initiating contact and incurring costs
- Real-time systems check suspect phone numbers in a centralized database, then connect and share intelligence about known or suspected fraud perpetrators
- Card issuers meet responsibilities to protect account holders from fraud in a more collaborative, proactive and effective manner, thus complementing fraud prevention systems
- Adeptra encourages organizations to collaborate in real-time to help identify fraudulent practices. However, Adeptra Fraud Watch can also be used by a single issuer looking to benefit across portfolios from their own data.
By managing the activities to authenticate fraud risk, Adeptra supports your business process through the fraud prevention and recovery lifecycle.
