The UK's collective defence against financial crime and fraud

Matt Wreford

As CEO of Synectics Solutions, I lead a business I believe is one of the UK’s most important fraud detection and prevention companies. Through our consortia, organisations share intelligence to reduce fraud, make better decisions and increase trust across the economy.

Our work touches nearly every adult in the UK, from applications for motor insurance, loans, mortgages and mobile phone contracts, to solutions that help reduce APP fraud in bank accounts. It is a privilege to lead a team whose technology, data and expertise have such a practical impact on people, businesses and society.

Before Synectics, I was CEO of Demica, one of the world’s largest supply chain finance platforms, with $45 billion of assets under administration, and CEO of IPGL, a financial services group with assets in excess of $1 billion. I have also worked hands-on as a non-executive director and partner across 11 businesses in financial services, advertising, mobile technology, medical devices and business services.

At Synectics Solutions, I’m proud to help shape a culture where people—and their potential—come first. We bring together data, expertise, and technology to solve complex challenges, but it’s our people who drive the real change. We believe in the power of human intelligence and artificial intelligence.

Our mission is clear: to empower organisations with the insight they need to combat fraud and create a fairer, more secure society.

We operate on trust, inclusivity, and a passion for learning. Innovation isn’t just welcomed—it’s expected. We challenge convention, invest in growth, and create opportunities for everyone to make a meaningful impact.

Collaboration is central to everything we do. It extends beyond our teams and out to our clients, who share intelligence across industries to tackle emerging threats together. This collective effort is what drives real-world results—and lasting progress.

At Synectics, success is measurable, but it's also deeply human. If you’re driven by innovation, thrive in purpose-led environments, and want to be part of something bigger, this is where ideas turn into action—and people thrive.
