Fraud Prevention / Detection
A well known cliche is the question posed to that infamous robber: “Why do you rob banks?” The answer, although unexpected, was quite simple and confounding: “’cause that’s where the money is”. The contemporary equivalent example has to do with Card Fraud, with ATM fraud being a prime example. The money at stake is really huge and that is exactly why fraudsters and criminals are channelling a lot of energy, effort and R&D (!) into this area.
Losses stemming from ATM Fraud are mounting and trends are particularly troublesome. Massive ATM fraud losses are burdening the financial industry with a huge cost and anti-skimming devices do not seem to be effective protection mechanisms. Fraudsters are becoming increasingly smart and a lot more patient and selective than even a few years ago.
