An Array of Comprehensive Offerings

 

• Mule Account Detection: To assist you in reducing financial, reputational, and regulatory risk, BioCatch Mule Account Detection finds evidence of mule activity both during account opening and within active accounts. Mule accounts are essential to the infrastructure of the fraud supply chain and the process of money laundering. Given that fraudsters use a variety of techniques to launder stolen money, mule account detection is a challenging procedure. When identifying mule accounts, BioCatch has identified five persona types to watch out for. The prevention of mule accounts during account opening as well as the detection of mule activity within existing accounts can both be aided by an understanding of these personas and the typical behaviors associated with each.
  
  Money laundering and mule accounts continue to be major issues for financial institutions, and the issue is still mostly unresolved. Money mules exist in a variety of shapes and sizes, each with its own objectives and personality that call for special solutions. By examining a user's physical and cognitive behavior to spot high-risk conduct related to money laundering, BioCatch Mule Account Detection provides thorough security against all forms of mule scenarios.

 

• Account Takeover Protection: Advanced behavioral insights produced by BioCatch Account Takeover Protection give you the ongoing monitoring you need to uncover more fraud, boost consumer confidence, and lower false positives. To continually monitor web and mobile sessions and reveal a wide range of account takeover risks that older fraud prevention procedures overlook, BioCatch risk models use cutting-edge research and a decade's worth of data. Mule accounts are crucial to the outcome of a failed account takeover attempt. Criminals cannot complete their scheme if they do not have a mule account to send the proceeds of a fake payment or transaction.
• Social Engineering Scam Detection: Traditional fraud-based methods have mostly given way to scam-based tactics in the world of cybercrime. There are potential disruptions in the form of greater regulatory pressure and a decline in consumer confidence since there are inconsistent frameworks for defining and assessing fraud losses from social engineering scams. By using real-time user behavior analysis to identify whether a person is carrying out a transaction while under the influence of a cybercriminal, BioCatch helps banks defend their consumers against authorized push payment fraud and social engineering frauds. Financial institutions can quickly identify behavioral clues that a social engineering scam is underway thanks to BioCatch, which helps them avoid big losses and better protect their customers and assets.

Employing a layered strategy will free up workers to concentrate on providing value to speed up online commerce and provide the consumer-expected digital experiences.
