Solving the elusive first-party fraud problem

Institutions can now predict the likelihood of bad faith disputes driven by deceitful activities, such as falsely claiming a delivery was lost or refusing to pay off credit card bills indefinitely. It persists as an unsolved challenge that plagues merchants and financial institutions alike.

Stop first-party fraudsters before they start

Banks, Fintechs, BNPL providers, Gaming providers and others can now predict the likelihood of bad faith disputes, payment defaults, bust-out fraud and loan stacking driven by deceitful activities. Using data from our first-party fraud consortium members -- which includes hundreds of millions of transactions — Socure can identify first-party fraud risk at onboarding, at the point of payment, as well as during a dispute investigation. What could this look like at your financial institution? Fewer charge-offs and lower chargeback losses, culminating in a holistic financial ecosystem of trust.

Reduce chargebacks and RegE abusers

Reduce chargebacks and Reg E abusers

Sigma First-Party Fraud prevents RegE abuse, such as fraudsters disputing low-value claims that exceed investigation costs, and organized attackers disputing every transaction, overwhelming dispute teams.

Evaluate whether a consumer will commit first party fraud, again

Evaluate whether a consumer will commit first-party fraud again

Track the velocity of identity attributes across production transactions to evaluate whether someone has previously made a bad faith claim and whether they are likely to do so again. For example, ordering multiples of the same item, or using other aliases to set multiple active users on one account or IP address are all red flag signs of potential first-party fraud.

Leverage cross industry data

Leverage cross-industry data to provide a holistic view of consumers

Socure leverages its 400+ databases of cross-industry data, provided directly by financial institutions and adjacent industries, to identify signals that are indicative of first-party fraud and early payment default. If risk exists, a financial institution may opt to require additional verification of information before proceeding with the application.
