Identity verification systems face issues with synthetic fraud as fake and expired IDs appear in transactions, especially in fast onboarding and remote transactions. Intellicheck's analysis of nearly 100 million transactions shows a 97.85% average verification success rate, concealing significant industry differences. Key fraud sources include expired credentials and synthetic identities, exacerbated by AI capabilities. Industries like alcohol retail and online-only banks exhibit the highest failure rates. Organizations are encouraged to focus on identity verification metrics to preempt fraud. The need for advanced, multi-layered verification technologies is emphasized as traditional methods fail to counteract evolving fraud tactics.
