FICO® Identity Resolution Engine

Resolve individuals' identities and reveal fraud rings

Overview

FICO® Identity Resolution Engine

FICO® Identity Resolution Engine (IRE) adds a critical dimension to the fight against fraud by proactively identifying and investigating the true identities of perpetrators and fraud rings.  FICO Identity Resolution Engine allows institutions to classify identities and other entities and correlate relationships through their data. Identity Resolution Engine applies predictive graph analytics by analyzing linkages between people, places, documents, and events. Subsequently IRE can generate prescriptive alerts that empower organizations to prioritize fraudulent activity.

IRE is utilized in numerous industries across the public and private sectors to target the detection of organized fraud rings committing financial crimes through bust-out fraud, fraudulent health claims, and other nearly undetectable methods.

Increase investigator efficiency

Uncover up to 50% more fraud

With advanced proactive graph analytics technology, FICO® Identity Resolution Engine can identify suspicious individuals in application processing, as well as active fraud rings before they rupture and result in considerable damage. When used in conjunction with FICO predictive analytic solutions, Identity Resolution Engine can uncover and stop up to 50% more fraud than rules-based systems.

Increase investigator efficiency

Through Identity Resolution Engine’s visual link analytics tool, investigators can quickly discover and visualize relationships of persons of interest. For example, when a FICO client used IRE, they found 33% more claims in a fraud ring just in the first 200 claims reviewed.

Improve collection efforts

Billions of dollars of fraud perpetrated by bust-out fraud rings is misclassified as credit losses; consequently, collectors are often chasing money they will never be able to recover. Identity Resolution Engine helps collection departments to intelligently reduce resource waste and recover legitimate debt.
