FICO has named SentiLink a 2026 FICO® Industry Vanguard Decision Award winner, recognizing SentiLink’s industry-leading innovation in detecting stolen identities at origination. The award reflects SentiLink’s measurable impact across a network of 500+ financial institutions and its commitment to building detection technology that catches more fraud while helping lenders confidently onboard legitimate applicants. As part of this recognition, SentiLink’s Identity Theft Score is available on FICO® Marketplace, where FICO® Platform customers can integrate it directly into existing decisioning workflows.
“Earning recognition as the industry-leading solution to detect Identity Theft from FICO, a leading analytics software and fraud prevention pioneer, speaks volumes to our product performance,” said Kathleen Waid, Chief Revenue Officer, SentiLink. “The availability of SentiLink’s solution on FICO Marketplace is a strategic growth lever for us and we are grateful for this award.”
SentiLink’s Identity Theft Score is designed to distinguish true fraud from edge-case anomalies, using advanced analytics, a continuously updated fraud label set, and expert review. The score is powered by proprietary fraud labels developed from SentiLink’s network of 400+ financial institutions, giving it a broader and more current view of emerging identity theft tactics than models trained on narrower data sets. These inputs enable accurate detection at onboarding, where catching stolen identity applications early has the greatest impact. FICO Marketplace is accessible directly within FICO Platform and enables customers to incorporate data and analytics from trusted, pre-vetted partners into their decisioning workflows.
“We are proud to recognize SentiLink as a FICO Industry Vanguard for its leading industry Identity Theft Score,” said Nikhil Behl, president of software at FICO. “Fraud remains one of the most significant threats facing financial institutions today, and combating it demands a unified, end‑to‑end ecosystem. That’s why SentiLink’s integration with FICO Marketplace and the broader FICO Platform is so critical.”
