Shield your business from stolen and fake data
Financial institutions must distinguish between real customers and fraudsters—instantly and accurately. Cybercriminals use stolen credentials, bots, and other tactics to create new accounts under someone else’s name. The challenge isn’t just stopping fraud—it’s doing so without disrupting the experience for genuine applicants, or risk losing them to frustration and abandoned applications. As fraud tactics evolve in volume and complexity, the need for seamless, intelligent protection has never been greater.

The BioCatch Account Opening Protection solution powered by the Connect(TM) platform allows the billions of sessions BioCatch has analyzed to be compared against each new application process to determine if fraud exists.
Application fluency
Cybercriminals are familiar with the application form. They navigate the website quickly to fill out mandatory fields without thought.
Expert user patterns
Cybercriminals display advanced computer skills, using control shortcuts such as tabs between fields and function keys.
Low data familiarity
Cybercriminals will not be familiar with customer-unique data, and the cadence for data entry will not match.
Bot activity detection
Cybercriminals will oftentimes use bots to speed the application process; however, bots cannot replicate human behavior.
Age analysis
Cybercriminals cannot easily adapt to a typing cadence and pattern that aligns with a customer’s age.
