Application Fraud Management, as we see it, is a powerful way to stop fraud from occurring in the first place.

If anyone is interested in controlling fraud, controlling application fraud should be the first step.

Atreus Referrals – Application Fraud Management

Why is electronic Visitor Access System better than paper log books?
Imagine a visitor walking in, and instead of writing on a piece of paper, types into a computer terminal (a touch enabled tablet will do no harm).

International Revenue Share Fraud (IRSF) test numbers are extremely valuable if used in a hot list to alert CSPs of a possible or pending IRSF attack.
Credit Referrals – An important but much hated word.
The word ‘credit referrals’ or ‘you’ve been referred to a credit Analyst sir!’ does not go down well with potential customers, particularly when the customer is waiting to get his hands on the next iPhone. Almost all businesses, with a few exceptions, use a risk assessment scoring methodology to score an application prior to parting […]
