What is fraud prevention?

Fraud prevention is a set of measures put in place to protect a company’s assets and ensure its security. These measures will usually involve monitoring customers in order to detect any suspicious activity.

  • Utilise advanced analytics to detect fraud risks.
  • Implement robust internal controls and audits.
  • Integrate anti-money laundering (AML) checks to ensure compliance.

Challenges of traditional monitoring systems

  • Manual updates required: These systems' reliance on predefined rules means they depend heavily on manual adjustments to stay relevant..
  • Lack of comprehensive Insight: Manual methods fail to provide a holistic view of customer or counterparty behaviour.  

 

The easiest way to be alerted to fraud is to use an electronic platform

The SmartSearch platform will check for suspicious activity by continually monitoring various data sources including reference agencies and fraud lists and alert you to anything potentially fraudulent.

Frequently Asked Questions

AML, or Anti-Money Laundering, involves procedures and regulations to prevent, detect, and report money laundering. This three-stage process of ‘placement,’ ‘layering,’ and ‘integration’ is used by criminals to legitimise illegal funds. SmartSearch helps identify and verify individuals and businesses, mitigating risks such as impersonation and money laundering, while ensuring compliance with the latest AML regulations and FATF laws and directives.

A Politically Exposed Person (PEP) holds a prominent public role and, due to their influence, poses a higher risk of bribery and corruption for money laundering. PEP fraud involves targeting these individuals to hide illegal funds. SmartSearch provides PEP and Sanctions screening on every AML check, with the option for continuous client monitoring. Hosting the Dow Jones Factiva Watchlist, which includes over 1,100 global Sanction and PEP lists, our innovative data matching minimises false positives, saving you time and money.

You must complete customer due diligence on all customers in order to check they are who they say they are and mitigate the risk of fraud. If a customer gives false information, or is attempting to use someone else’s identity, the CDD process will identify this. Ongoing monitoring will then alert you if their status changes, for example, they are sanctioned or declared bankrupt, allowing you to reassess the fraud risk they pose.

The easiest way to be alerted to fraud is to use an electronic platform, like SmartSearch. Our platform will check for suspicious activity by continually monitoring various data sources including reference agencies and fraud lists as well as bank card and mobile phone activity and alert you to anything potentially fraudulent.
