SURINAME: Financial Institution Fraud Detection Tools Get Boost

As financial institutions (FIs) in Suriname continue to face threats from sophisticated cyber attacks, they are turning to advanced fraud detection tools to stay ahead of fraudsters and protect their customers.

Multi-Layered Approach to Fraud Detection

Industry experts recommend a multi-layered approach to fraud detection, combining:

  • Device intelligence: analyzing device characteristics and behavior
  • Behavioral biometrics: monitoring user behavior and patterns
  • Behavioral analytics: analyzing transactions and activity
  • Trust consortiums: sharing information with other financial institutions

This approach helps identify high-risk transactions and prevent account takeover fraud.

Rising Threat of Mobile Banking Fraud

The financial sector in Suriname faces an increasing threat from mobile banking fraud, with losses growing by 92% in the past year alone. FIs must balance robust security measures with a seamless customer experience to combat this threat.

Risk Management Strategies

To stay ahead of fraudsters, FIs are adopting risk management strategies that use machine learning algorithms to analyze:

  • User behavior: analyzing login attempts and transaction patterns
  • Environmental factors: monitoring device and network characteristics

These strategies include identity affirmation, which uses advanced analytics to verify the authenticity of customers during digital onboarding.

Smart Risk Management Services

FIs are also using smart risk management services that analyze the risk level of every customer transaction and recommend the most appropriate authentication method. This approach minimizes risk while providing a frictionless experience for genuine customers.
