EnStream, Socure tackle synthetic fraud in Canada

Synthetic identity fraud involves the creation of fictitious identities by combining stolen, manipulated, or fabricated attributes, posing a significant challenge for financial institutions, fintech companies, and other enterprises.

According to research conducted by Socure, synthetic fraud could incur costs of up to USD 5 billion in the US market by 2024, with projections from the Deloitte Center for Financial Services suggesting losses of at least USD 23 billion in the US by 2030. The prevalence of this type of fraud is not limited to the US, with Canada also facing increasing risks.

EnStream's real-time mobile intelligence, powered by machine learning models, enhances Socure's identity verification capabilities by adding key mobile attributes to consumer profiles, aiming to make it more difficult for fraudsters to create synthetic profiles or hijack real identities.

EnStream and Socure have collaborated to integrate EnStream's data sets into Socure's Sigma Synthetic fraud solution, aimed at combating synthetic identity fraud in the Canadian market.
