The leading identity verification and fraud prevention provider teams up with Canada's only company with direct telecom data access to enable real-time risk signals to outsmart fraudsters.

TORONTO and INCLINE VILLAGE, Nev., April 17, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -  EnStream, Canada's leading provider of real-time mobile intelligence to combat identity and transaction fraud and Socure, the pioneer of artificial intelligence for digital identity verification, sanction screening and fraud prevention, today announced the inclusion of EnStream's unique data sets as a part of the Socure's Sigma Synthetic fraud solution.  By adding key mobile attributes powered by EnStream ML models, Socure will supercharge its industry-leading solution to prevent synthetic identity fraud across the Canadian market.

Synthetic identity fraud is one of the fastest-growing financial crimes, invisibly costing businesses billions each year. Fraudsters combine stolen, manipulated and fabricated attributes, such as name, address, phone, date of birth, and Social Security number, and when assembled creates an entirely new and fictitious identity to defraud financial institutions, fintech's, government agencies, and other enterprises.

Previous research conducted by Socure indicates that the cost of synthetic fraud could rise to $5B in the US market by 2024. The Deloitte Center for Financial Services also projects synthetic identity fraud to generate at least $23 billion in losses in the U.S. by 2030.   Canada is not immune to this type of growing fraud and is becoming a prime target for criminals.
