Fraud Detection from ComplyAdvantage stops this fraud using a combination of:

  • ML Anomaly Detection Algorithms
  • Behavioral Analytics
  • Time Sequencing
  • NLP Neural Networks (Ex. Transformer that’s also used in ChatGPT)

It detects:

  1. Changes in behavior, activity from strange and unseen counterparties, and money transfers to high-risk countries or banks
  2. Changes in behavior following a suspicious event, such as a failed password attempt or a change in address
  3. Activities at uncommon times to a particular user (such as a user transacting at 4 am)
  4. Discrepancies between payments reference texts & payment details

Fraud Detection from ComplyAdvantage stops this fraud using a combination of:

  • ML
  • Behavioral Analytics
  • Time Sequencing
  • Graph Network Analysis

It detects:

  1. Anomalous behavior indicating a vulnerable person has been taken advantage of by a third party
  2. Discrepancies between payment reference texts & payment details
  3. Changes in periodic behavior indicative of invoice fraud, such as a change in a bank account number on a typical payment
  4. Synthetic identities or mule accounts used to hide the destination of the funds

Fraud Detection from ComplyAdvantage detects synthetic identity fraud by applying a combination of:

  • Identity Clustering
  • Other ML algorithms

It identifies networks of accounts that are acting in tandem, both from a behavioral and a personal data perspective. It gives you dual protection, catching both:

  • Accounts that look similar data-wise but act differently
  • Accounts that act similarly but have different sets of personal information

Fraud Detection from ComplyAdvantage stops this fraud using a combination of:

  • Behavioral Analytics
  • Identity Clustering
  • Peer Group Analysis
  • K-means Clustering

  2. Merchants with significant refunds and chargebacks compared to others or previous activity from the same merchant
  3. Businesses with similar patterns to others you have offboarded
  4. Companies taking lines of credit with an anomalous “bust-out” pattern
