Account takeover: the growing fraud threat

IT - ROUNDTABLE

IN PARTNERSHIP

How can financial institutions protect themselves and customers from account takeover?

Fraudsters have become increasingly sophisticated in their attacks, teaching us to never let our guard down. While financial institutions have more robust ways to fight fraud at account opening, they don’t necessarily have similar techniques to prevent account takeover. Therefore, giving fraudsters the unfortunate opportunity to enter their ecosystem.

Account takeover is one of the fastest growing trends, today. According to a recent survey by Security.org, 24 million US households have been victims to account takeover. While account opening has clear policies and tools to stop fraud, account takeover has many institutions searching for ways to protect their customers and their business. So, how can you combat account takeover?

Join Ekata and a select group of your industry peers as we explore how you can assess your fraud risk while maintaining seamless customer onboarding and customer protection.
