Verify before you approve

Fraudulent accounts are expensive to clean up. Vyndarix evaluates applications in real time to identify high-risk applicants before they become customers.

  • Synthetic identity detection

    Identify fabricated identities built from real and fake information that pass traditional verification checks.

  • Device and behavior analysis

    Evaluate how applicants fill in forms, their device characteristics and session behavior to detect automated or suspicious applications.

  • Data consistency checks

    Cross-reference application data against known patterns to detect inconsistencies, recycled information and manufactured identities.

  • Velocity and link analysis

    Detect application fraud rings by finding applications that share devices, addresses or other attributes.

Protect your onboarding pipeline

Every fraudulent account you approve becomes a future loss. Catch fraud at origination, when intervention is cheapest and most effective.

  • Reduce account-level fraud losses
  • Detect fraud rings at application
  • Lower manual review volume
  • More accurate approvals
  • Identify first-party fraud signals
  • Faster approval for legitimate applicants

Questions about application fraud

What is application fraud?

Application fraud occurs when fraudsters submit false or stolen information during account opening to gain access to credit, services, or financial products they don't qualify for.

How is synthetic identity fraud detected at application?

We analyze data consistency, device behavior, application velocity, and cross-reference submitted information to identify fabricated identities before account approval.

What is first-party application fraud?

First-party fraud occurs when applicants misrepresent their own information to obtain credit or services, with no intention of repaying or legitimate use.
