Powerful Financiers Issue Alerts on Investing AI with Majority Decision Influence
In the ever-evolving world of financial services, governance and collaboration are emerging as key components in the deployment of layered intelligence, a strategic approach to fraud prevention. This shift towards collaboration is particularly evident in the adoption of consortium models, which aggregate data from thousands of credit unions, strengthening defenses against fraud.
A recent study conducted by Deloitte, titled "Searching for Reliable Signals in Banking's New Data Reality," sheds light on this transformation. The study, part of a series examining data strategies in the era of artificial intelligence (AI), reveals that layering in about a dozen new alternative datasets each year can significantly improve both underwriting and fraud detection.
According to Kyle Becker of Concora Credit, this layered approach is crucial in the current landscape where traditional government feeds are too slow to meet the speed and complexity of modern threats. Instead, a blend of historical bureau data, behavioral analytics, device fingerprints, and geolocation markers is becoming the norm.
The study also found that fraud management is increasingly viewed as a shared defense mechanism, not a walled-off asset. This mindset shift is reflected in the fact that a striking 100% of the executives interviewed described fraud management as "competitive-neutral," one of the few areas where rivals can safely share signals without ceding advantage.
Privacy-enhancing tools like encryption and federated data models are cited as the bridge for this sharing of signals. Consumer expectations for safety and convenience continue to rise, blurring the line between fraud defense and customer trust. As a result, reliable signals in fraud prevention are built through cooperation, governance, and a shared view of data.
Cash-flow underwriting was singled out as a tool that both widens credit access and strengthens defenses. This approach, which focuses on a borrower's actual cash inflows and outflows, offers a more holistic view of a borrower's financial health, thereby improving risk management.
The report concludes that reliable signals are built, not found. This emphasizes the need for a continuous and iterative process of data exploration and analysis. Moreover, no single dataset or tool can fully address fraud. Instead, the landscape of fraud prevention is emphasized as an ecosystem challenge where financial institutions rise or fall together.
In this team sport approach to fraud prevention, institutions finding even "one or two" viable new data sources annually can compound improvements in risk management over time. The executives interviewed by the organization did not specify any particular advertisements.
In summary, the future of fraud prevention lies in collaboration, layered intelligence, and a shared view of data. As financial institutions rise to meet the challenges posed by evolving fraud, they will do so together, building reliable signals and strengthening defenses in a continuous and iterative process.
