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.
- Scams now reach real customers on their own phones, and each check passes them on its own.
- Rules in Singapore, India and Australia now move scam losses towards the bank that missed its duties. Liability by market
- RBI’s authentication directions, in force since 1 April 2026, keep two factors as the baseline and allow risk-based checks beyond them. (RBI (Press release: directions on authentication mechanisms for digital payment transactions, opens in a new tab), Sep 2025)
- The Finance Ministry has asked banks to adopt MuleHunter.AI, and the I4C Suspect Registry will feed it. India’s rules
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.
| Moment | The attack | What DeepID does | Decision |
|---|---|---|---|
| Sign-up | Deepfakes, synthetic identities and device farms | A live face on a real camera, matched to the ID, and one device linked to many applications read at the start. | Block |
| Login | Credential stuffing, bots and phished codes | The 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 SIM | SIM swaps and recovery hijack | A 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 payee | Coached payments and mule payees | A 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 |
| Payment | Coerced transfers and corporate deepfakes | The call, the screen, the typing and the payee become one decision before the money leaves, with its reasons in your FRM. | Hold |
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.
- 1Sign-upBind the number, the SIM, the phone and the face once.
- 2LoginNo code to type for good customers; a step-up only when the SIM or the phone has changed.
- 3New payeeThe journey most at risk: who is the payee, and is the customer under pressure?
- 4Digital arrestThe coerced payment, step by step, and the hold with reasons.
