Understanding NetReveal Payment Fraud

A fraud solution allowing financial institutions to minimize fraud losses in real-time 

Stopping payment fraud has never been more important. With SymphonyAI’s NetReveal Payment Fraud solution, financial institutions can minimize fraud losses with real-time fraud detection and prevention, built with advanced AI technology and analytics. 

What is the challenge with payment fraud? 

In 2020, the value of e-commerce losses to online payment fraud globally was estimated at $17.5 billion. By 2022, this had jumped to $41 billion, with $48 billion expected in 2023 (this number is yet to be finalized and confirmed). 

For financial institutions, payment fraud presents a difficult challenge. Online payments are increasing every year as e-commerce increases, in-app consumer spending rises, and more consumers become familiar with sending payments directly to other bank accounts. 

The challenges for financial institutions are clear. They must: 

  • Tackle increased payment volumes with no loss of service 
  • Uncover ever-more sophisticated fraud schemes 
  • Untangle the complexities of cross-channel payments 
  • Stop persistent identity theft  

These difficulties demand financial institutions conduct a comprehensive understanding of risk across all payment methods in the countries in which they operate, to prevent criminal behavior and financial losses. Unfortunately, current methods aren’t necessarily working. Increasing alert volumes make it challenging to prioritize the most critical first, and too many false positives waste the productivity of teams, preventing real risk from being investigated. 

This is where NetReveal Payment Fraud, a leading solution in preventing fraud at source comes in, enabling safe, fast, and frictionless user journeys for your customers. 

What is NetReveal Payment Fraud? 

NetReveal Payment Fraud seamlessly integrates with an organization’s payment ecosystem to provide advanced fraud detection and prevention. Using a combination of customer-driven and machine learning (ML) models to uncover fraud schemes and scams, NetReveal Payment Fraud works by behavioral profiling incoming data, assigning it a risk score and resulting decision, which then enacts a response (hold/release payment) or triages the result for further investigation. 

Providing enhanced AI-driven investigation and fraud management capabilities, the solution can be up and running in weeks. 

NetReveal Payment Fraud’s primary benefits include: 

  • Effective real-time fraud detection and prevention – Significantly reduce fraud losses with low latency detection that identifies and stops fraud across multiple channels and payment types. Hold, block, or release as required with multiple payment sources able to be treated as a single stream and intra-day fraud detection and interdiction available on corporate batch payments (such as ACH in the US) 
  • Holistic view of risk – Share risk and case information across fraud, risk, and compliance functions to get a complete picture of the risk associated with each payment method. Understand customer behavioral data across all channels, lines of business, and lifecycle stages by leveraging your data and maximizing its value through rules-based predictive AI-led behavioral profiling and risk scoring in real-time 
  • End-to-end fraud and financial crime investigations – NetReveal Payment Fraud integrates with the powerful Sensa Investigation Hub, a gen AI-powered investigation platform. It delivers a single, entity-centric view of risk across the entire spectrum of a case including AML transaction monitoring, KYC/CDD, sanctions, PEP and adverse media screening, and fraud. 

NetReveal Payments Fraud is a gamechanger for financial institutions, offering the opportunity to minimize fraud losses with real-time fraud detection and prevention.
