Fraud Solution Profile

SentiLink offers the following products:

Fraud Scores: SentiLink offers a variety of scores for flagging different fraud MOs in real-time at the point of application. Each of these scores can be assessed with a free retrostudy or live trial to demonstrate how they can reduce fraud losses and increase incremental approvals for your business. Scores include:

  • Synthetic Fraud Score: Flag synthetic fraudsters to reduce losses while still accurately verifying the identities of legitimate thin-file applicants.
  • ID Theft Score: Catch identity thieves in real time with a highly accurate score that catches even fraudsters leveraging the latest MOs and AI tools.
  • First Party Fraud Score: Accurately flag first-party fraud risk in real-time across a variety of FPF MOs.
  • PII Risk Scores: Understand the risk associated with an individual data point such as a phone number or email address to flag risky contact change requests or assess the risk of new signups when you don’t have additional PII to assess.
All scores can be accessed instantly via API and return a score of between 1 and 999, with higher numbers indicating higher risk.

CIP Match & Watchlists: Meet compliance requirements for CIP and watchlist checks without adding friction for new customers by leveraging SentiLink’s CIP Match & Watchlists, which uses enriched data to increase the number of identities that can be confidently verified and reduces the number of false-positive watchlist flags.

Intercept: A better investigative tool for Fraud and Risk teams. SentiLink Intercept pulls together identity intelligence, fraud signals, and analyst workflows in a single experience so that your team can work faster and make decisions more confidently thanks to better intel.

Facets: Leverage bundles of SentiLink’s fraud, risk, and identity signals and attributes for integration into custom models and rule-based systems.

eCBSV: Positively verify name, DOB, and SSN combinations by going to the source of truth in real-time with the first provider in history to offer eCBSV.

Insights: Uncover more about applications and flag specific fraud MOs with SentiLink insights like our Assumed Identity Abuse flag, which is triggered when an application’s attributes match the pattern for Assumed Identity Abuse.
