Fighting fraud in payments with AI
AI is revolutionizing fraud detection in financial institutions, enhancing security and confidence in digital payments.
In 2024, US consumers lost over $12.5 billion to fraud schemes—nearly four times the $3.5 billion lost in 2020.1 Financial institutions (FIs) are under immense pressure to fortify their defenses against this escalating threat.
A KPMG generative AI survey2 finds that financial services respondents reveal the following:
76%
of FI respondents see fraud detection and prevention as their top application for GenAI
83%
of financial institutions plan to increase their GenAI investments by at least 50%
These systems, which can analyze robust data sets in real time, have shown great promise in identifying and mitigating fraud patterns. Still, the journey to combat AI-driven fraud is fraught with challenges. To learn more about how AI can help FIs stay ahead of AI-driven fraud, download the paper.
