Fraud prevention for banks

You run retail and corporate banking on real-time rails, and the fraud that costs you most now passes every check: a coerced transfer, a mule payee, a recovered account.

What banks face now.

Across the customer journey.

Where each attack appears for banks, what DeepID reads at that moment and the action it returns. Each moment is checked against what the one before it bound.

MomentThe attackWhat DeepID doesDecision
Sign-upDeepfakes, synthetic identities and device farmsA live face on a real camera, matched to the ID, and one device linked to many applications read at the start.Block
LoginCredential stuffing, bots and phished codesThe network and the SIM confirm the number with nothing to type; emulators and scripted logins break the device check.Allow, or block
New phone or SIMSIM swaps and recovery hijackA SIM that moved is read at once; the customer’s face from sign-up holds before anything is re-bound, then a cool-off.Step up, then cool off
New payeeCoached payments and mule payeesA call or a shared screen while the payee is added, and the payee scored against the mule graph before the first payment.Warn, or cool off

Where to start.

The journey most at risk: a new payee followed by a first payment. Most banks start DeepID at sign-up or login, where the SIM, the phone and the face are bound, so that by the time a payee is added there is something to check it against.

  1. 1Sign-upBind the number, the SIM, the phone and the face once.
  2. 2LoginNo code to type for good customers; a step-up only when the SIM or the phone has changed.
  3. 3New payeeThe journey most at risk: who is the payee, and is the customer under pressure?
  4. 4Digital arrestThe coerced payment, step by step, and the hold with reasons.
  5. 5Mule account detectionFind the payees your scam cases paid into, in your own history.

Your free first analysis.

A free retrospective on 30 to 90 days of your payments and closed scam cases.

What it shows. The payees your confirmed cases paid into, the mule links between them, and which were still active on the last day of the period. No figure is published for this; you count it on your own data, against what you see today.
