Combatting fraud

Supporting businesses using sophisticated data-matching technology

At a glance

Using the sophisticated matching capability of our Data Hub, we can help businesses to combat identity fraud across their customer base. A key area of application is the banking and financial services sector.

Sentinel's solution works by highlighting data patterns and anomalies that indicate where multiple records exist for the same person. It even overcomes attempts by individuals to disguise their real identity, for example where they are using deliberately misspelled names or middle names.

Our automated technology uses real-time web services to carry out data-matching checks as part of an application or assessment process and will alert you if matches or potential matches are identified.

Examples of fraud that our solution can identify include:

ID fraud

Identifying multiple records to show if a customer is applying for the same service / product / benefit many times over.

Eligibility fraud

Where a person is applying for something that conflicts with eligibility criteria they have already given to other parts of an organisation.

Location-based fraud

Where data anomalies show a person is using different addresses to make multiple applications or claims.

Sentinel's automated technology can also link to other computer systems within across an organisation.

Installing our Data Hub will enable you to consistently manage identity checks and reduce risk across all parts of your business. We can help organisations to share information about specific customers in controlled and compliant ways, both internally and to external business partners.
