Key Products / Services / Sectors (USPs)

We help businesses recognise true identities to establish trusted relationships with legitimate customers while keeping fraudsters out. Experian can help you enable companies to detect, monitor and assess the risk of fraud at every stage of their customer relationship. We offer fraud detection and identity management services to help: 

• Rapid identity verification checks — when you need an identity check for a customer, you want to give them the smoothest and safest experience possible, but you need to balance this with meeting regulatory requirements. 

• Detect cases of fraud – we support your fraud detection systems throughout the customer journey, from knowing the customer’s identity, through accepting his or her application, to growing the business by cross-selling to customers with authenticated identities. 

• Automate fraud risk assessment – our systems flag the possibility of fraud. We highlight this and other suspicious behavior, enabling the investigation team to concentrate on high-risk cases, allowing genuine customers to receive great service. 

• Predict the likelihood of fraud – our analytics can help you evaluate the risk of fraud to support prioritisation of cases and effective use of operational resources. 

• Reduce many types of fraud – we concentrate on reducing application fraud, retail and ecommerce fraud, money laundering, false-work-history fraud, and, in some regions, open-account fraud. 

• Share information – in a growing number of countries, we have set up fraud detection schemes shared by a number of organisations in a sector. These organisations see the fight against fraud as a battle that requires cooperation with their competitors. 

Our innovative approach to the complex fraud problem includes a combination of products and strategies. This allows organisations to recognise legitimate identities and identify risks while adhering to regulatory requirements and providing a positive customer experience.
