June 14, 2022 – The U.S. market is one of the hotbeds of synthetic identity fraud, given the historical lack of a centralized source of truth for consumers’ identities. Synthetic identity fraud often goes unrecognized as fraud and instead winds up written off as a credit loss. Thankfully, the financial services industry has realized what a significant issue synthetic identity fraud represents, and many firms are acting to detect and stop synthetic identity fraud.
