More value for FLA members: what’s included?

Fraud & FinCrime Insight

Unique data placed in FLA members’ hands. From operational patterns detected across National SIRA’s consortium of 190+ peer organisations, to insights into fraud MOs that blur sector boundaries.

Peer Strategy Learnings

Practical insight into how organisations facing similar pressures are balancing fraud risk with growth, approval speeds, referral rates and capacity. A way to understand what’s working elsewhere.

Collaborative Solutions

Share your challenges with people actively exploring new ways to use data, technology and cross-sector intelligence to address them. A dedicated space to collaborate with a trusted FLA partner.

What kind of insight can you expect from Synectics?

From new operational intelligence to performance benchmarking and innovative strategic approaches – FLA members can look to Synectics for insights that make a measurable difference.

Our research found that 25% of motor finance fraud signals have associated intelligence from insurance.
When benchmarking, we discovered that investigations using cross-sector intelligence complete 31% faster.
Recent industry collaboration has proactively unearthed ghost dealer and broker risk driving up operational overheads.

Some more examples of the intelligence Synectics brings as your Fraud & Financial Crime partner:

52% of organised fraud has identifiable warning signs before the crime

33% of synthetic IDs are such high quality that they’re used repeatedly

26% more fake documents were used in loan applications last year

What this partnership means in practice

“We’re looking forward to listening to and learning from FLA members about the issues they’re encountering, and connecting this with the real data and intelligence Synectics has across sectors, products and similar organisations. Our hope is to identify not just gaps, but opportunities that FLA members have to enhance their fraud strategies.”

Chloe Arden

Product & Proposition

“Organised fraudsters collaborate, share tactics and knowledge, and move between lenders, products and sectors. Sharing intelligence – both patterns from our own data and challenges members are facing – can help identify risks earlier. The FLA is a brilliant forum for us to create this feedback loop, and bring vital insight to a broader network, faster.”

Nathan Cornwall

Commercial Development

“Through this partnership, I hope that FLA members feel more confident about how to tackle the fraud risks they’re facing, and the changes that’ll have a real impact on what matters. Whether that’s approval speeds, referral noise or fraud losses. Synectics has a wealth of insight to share in these spaces – not just data, but strategic practices that transcend sectors.”

Amber Holme

Insight & Strategic Content

“Both the FLA and Synectics are committed to delivering the best possible customer outcomes in lending. A significant part of that is fraud decisioning – and reframing how industry approaches fraud controls. They can – and are – a real growth lever, helping to board more good customers, faster, through shared data and technology.”

Maxwell Hughes

Commercial Development

“The partnership is crucial right now because fraud and financial crime is rapidly evolving and we’re in the era of AI. AI is good at preventing crime, but it’s also instrumental in causing it. The FLA, its members and Synectics now have a place to come together as experts to look at how we adapt – using real data and real conversations to solve fraud’s biggest challenges.”
