SOLUTION

Wire Fraud

Stop fraudulent domestic and international wire transfers in real time to more effectively prevent fraud loss.

Proactively uncover advanced wire fraud schemes

The dollar value and international nature of many wire transfers make them inherently risky. With criminal schemes such as Business Email Compromise a growing problem, institutions need enhanced monitoring to prevent serious loss. Through Verafin’s innovative analytics, investigators have the ability to review potentially suspicious wires in real-time, alerting you to unusual wire transfers before they are released. Verafin’s wire fraud agents are segmented by sender type—person, elderly person, business and title company —allowing for more targeted analysis and individual configuration based on the specific fraud risks and scams for that group.

Features

PAYMENTS FRAUD

With a network of thousands of financial institutions in the Cloud, Verafin’s consortium data approach delivers insights into counterparty risk that significantly improves payments fraud detection and reduces false positives.

UNCOVER WIRE TRANSFER SCAMS

Get alerted when it appears your customer is being victimized by a known fraud scam — such as Business Email Compromise (BEC) — before the funds are transferred.

CLOUD-BASED PAYEE CONFIDENCE

Verafin’s cross-institutional analytics can increase confidence that a wire payee has an established history and is not associated with past fraudulent activity. This powerful evidence helps minimize risk while reducing false alerts and helps investigators focus on truly fraudulent activity.

REAL-TIME ANALYSIS

Analyzing a potentially fraudulent wire transfer once it is gone is often too late. Verafin integrates with numerous inline wire transfer solutions to alert you to unusual wires before they are released.

VISUAL WIRE DETAILS

Get all wire details in one location, and quickly interpret the information with historical transfer graphs, interactive flow of funds diagrams and visual transaction overviews that include sender, value, payee, and receiving institution data.

INTELLIGENTLY SEGMENTED AGENTS

There are often more instances of fraud on individuals — especially elderly individuals — compared to businesses. Verafin’s wire agents are segmented by sender type which allows you to have more control of your financial institution’s risk tolerance for different types of customers sending wires.
