How Fake Account Creation Occurs

Fraudster Creates Account

Fraudster creates accounts using stolen identity information or a synthetic identity that was fabricated using a combination of real identity information.

Fraudster Conducts a Transaction

Fraudster conducts transactions ranging from purchasing products or services to executing money transfers.

Fraudster Logs Onto Account

Fraudster logs onto the account created and may mimic legitimate user behavior to build credibility.

The Ekata Solution

By creating a fraudulent account, bad actors have a wealth of options at their fingertips. They could use stolen or synthetic identities to open new accounts at financial services institutions to gain instant credit, to seek loans, to launder money, and for credit bust-out schemes. The same bad actors could generate value through promotional abuse that could cause reputational damage to merchant’s platforms and chargebacks that eat into their profits.

The Account Opening API exposes a set of proprietary network signals that gives insight on the legitimacy of the input credentials so as to assess the validity of the account created.
