Fraud Detection

Banking Data-Powered Loan Fraud Detection

Loan application fraud costs Australian lenders billions annually. Fiskil detects fraud by analyzing real banking behavior patterns that fraudsters cannot fake.

Loan Fraud is Sophisticated and Costly

Fraudsters forge documents, use synthetic identities, and manipulate data to obtain loans they never intend to repay.

  • Forged payslips and bank statements appear legitimate

  • Synthetic identities pass basic verification checks

  • First-party fraud through inflated income claims

  • Mule accounts used to hide true identity

  • Manual fraud review is slow and misses sophisticated fraud

Real-Time Fraud Detection from Banking Patterns

Analyze authentic banking data to detect fraud patterns that cannot be forged, including manufactured income, suspicious activity, and mule account behavior.

Manufactured Income Detection

Identify suspicious deposits that appear designed to inflate income (round numbers, unusual timing).

Account Behavior Analysis

Detect abnormal account behavior indicative of mule accounts or synthetic identities.

Identity Verification

Confirm account holder details match application information.

Risk Pattern Recognition

Machine learning models trained on fraud patterns flag suspicious applications.

How to Implement Fraud Detection

1

Request Banking Access

Applicant connects bank account through CDR consent (fraudsters often refuse).

2

Analyze Banking Patterns

API analyzes transaction patterns, account age, behavior, and income sources.

3

Receive Fraud Risk Score

Get fraud risk score with specific flags indicating detected suspicious patterns.

4

Take Appropriate Action

New accounts with minimal transaction history and unusual patterns indicate synthetic identities.

Income Fabrication Alerts

Detect round-number deposits, unusual deposit sources, and timing that suggests manufactured income.

Mule Account Indicators

Identify accounts exhibiting mule behavior (rapid fund movement, unusual transaction patterns).

Account Age Verification
