Point Predictive Co-Founder Frank McKenna, a recognized and respected fraud industry expert, conceived of the Outsourced Fraud Mitigation service, which combines Ai+Ni technology with a consortium data set encompassing 80 million loan applications, billions of data points, and a multi-dimensional database of fraudulent activity. Lenders using this proprietary fraud prevention technology to analyze industry-wide consortium data can detect 30-40% more fraud while eliminating annoying and time-consuming verifications and stipulations on 50% or more low-risk, legitimate consumer applications. Lenders have seen a substantial benefit to dealer and consumer experiences by reducing the friction on those low-risk applications.
“Lenders will always be targets of fraudsters, but Outsourced Fraud Mitigation can minimize the impact of fraud and material misrepresentation to lenders while keeping risk operations costs lower,” said Tim Grace, Chairman and CEO of Point Predictive. He continued, “It’s a pleasure to work with an innovative bank that is committed to keeping fraud at bay. With OFM, M&T Bank will be able prevent difficult-to-detect fraudulent loans from sneaking onto the books and deliver a smooth loan decision process to trustworthy borrowers.”
