Fraud and identity covers how financial firms decide who someone is and whether a transaction should go through. Fintechbits follows identity verification and KYC, account takeover and synthetic identity, authorised push payment fraud and the liability rules around it, chargebacks, transaction monitoring, sanctions screening and anti-money-laundering. Coverage includes Trulioo, Socure, Sardine, Alloy, Feedzai and the banks and processors deploying them, plus the enforcement actions that follow when controls fail. Deepfakes and AI-generated documents are covered here, because verification is where they land first. Compliance reporting and supervisory technology sit under regtech.
