Continuous Trust in Action:
Perpetual KYC Meets Adaptive Fraud Defence Protection
Fraudsters today are more inventive than ever, stitching together entire identities from stolen credentials, forged IDs, and even deepfakes, making single source checks no longer an option for secure protection against fraud. Imagine weaving together insights from just a few touchpoints: a user's device fingerprint, geolocation, or phone profile; a quick match against government, credit bureau, or utility records; and a simple address, email, or SMS check. Then bolster that foundation with document verification of government issued IDs and a subtle liveness scan to combat deep fakes. By leveraging those signals into a single, continuous identity graph, you can spot anomalies, such as a handset used in past fraud ring schemes or an address that does not align with official records, before a user ever moves money.
This enhanced data verification process produces a rock-solid "know your customer" score that weeds out
impersonators and synthetic ID schemes without creating extra friction. According to a Statista survey,
46 percent of fraud and security professionals reported encountering synthetic identity schemes in their organizations and account takeovers alone cost U.S. consumers roughly $23 billion in 2023. Real time device risk scoring and database reconciliation transform raw signals into actionable trust indicators. You onboard genuine, low-risk users with confidence and flag more suspicious individuals, allowing you to set unique limits or restrict transaction methods based on their foundational KYC risk scores.
Perpetual KYC: Continuous Trust, Continuous Protection
Onboarding customers is only the first step. With perpetual KYC, AcuityTec enables you to adjust verification levels through fully customizable workflows. You might perform a basic identity check at signup and then automatically trigger deeper or recurring reviews at login, deposit, payout, or any other transaction you deem high-risk. You decide the thresholds: if a player's foundational KYC score is low-risk, they may proceed without additional checks or just the standard checks you have in place throughout their customer journey. In contrast, a user triggering suspicion can undergo additional KYC measures, such as in-depth authentication, including biometric re-authentication.
These dynamic, ongoing identity checks matter in our online ecosystem because fraud tactics constantly adapt to every vulnerability. 83% of organizations experienced at least one instance of account takeover in the past year with a 22% rise in distinct identity records recaptured from the criminal underground in last year and online payment fraud losses are set to exceed $206 billion between 2021 and 2025. By revalidating device, customer profile KYC, and behavioral signals mid-session, perpetual KYC closes the window of vulnerability and blocks mule-account setups before they turn into costly losses.
Adaptive Fraud Defense: ML and Behavioral Intelligence at Work
22% of businesses see managing and securing digital identities as the number one priority of their security program with a common realization that static identity checks and risk rules cannot adapt to the evolving tactics of fraud. AcuityTec's unified, advanced fraud screening with machine learning risk engine processes network-wide transaction data, blending it with each customer's foundational and ongoing KYC identity outputs and behavioral signals. Anomalies such as rapid transaction velocity, sudden location changes, device swaps, or the same email or card used across multiple accounts are quickly identified. Furthermore, dynamic risk scores automatically assigned and live monitoring capabilities can trigger automated actions and notifications, enabling you to respond to fraud promptly. Graph analysis uncovers hidden fraud rings and mule networks while anomaly detection highlights emerging trends before they scale. When risk exceeds your custom thresholds, the engine can launch adaptive authentication, from SMS challenges and liveness checks to knowledge based questions or human review, all without disrupting legitimate customers.
You also gain unlimited flexibility with rule configuration. With thousands of rule parameters and free form rule scripting, you can set bespoke checks and dynamic system actions based entirely on your risk appetite. Whether you want to recapture KYC after failed logins, cap transaction amounts for new players, or trigger extra verification during peak hours, AcuityTec gives you the tools and insights you need to protect every aspect of your customers' journey with no core platform changes required.
