Key insights from the panel

Insurance helps build synthetic credibility - Anna Phelps 

“Insurance isn't just a target of synthetic fraud; it can become part of the process that makes IDs appear credible to other organisations.”


Quality synthetics are being rewarded – Osman Khurshid

"Many synthetic identities are deliberately building positive histories, earning access to better products, rates and customer journeys."


Pattern recognition is the big win – Paul Boskma

"Fraudsters may create multiple identities, but they often reuse the same faces, document characteristics and onboarding behaviours."
