In an era marked by digital transformation and escalating fraud threats, businesses and consumers urgently seek robust defenses against the surging complexity and frequency of fraudulent activities like identity theft and financial scams.

Enter Fideo, an intelligence brand poised to redefine the frontiers of identity verification and fraud prevention.

Financial institutions are grappling with a severe and escalating synthetic fraud crisis:

• An estimated 3% of all existing accounts are suspected synthetic identities, posing a significant industry threat.
• Internet banking fraud costs have surged by 32%, while new online account fraud has risen by 12%.
• Each instance of ACH or account opening fraud carries an average cost of $106,781.
• In 2022, suspected synthetic identities soared by 13%, reaching 92,000 cases.
• Mobile account fraud has skyrocketed by 28%, highlighting the need for robust identity verification across all channels.
