Bank fraud is evolving rapidly, and traditional detection methods are struggling to keep up. With digital interactions increasing, banks are facing more frequent and sophisticated fraud attempts. The solution? Real-time, AI-driven intervention that stops fraud before it spreads.

Bank fraud occurs when unauthorized transactions or identity misuse affect financial systems. Banks are now using Convin’s automated virtual agent to proactively detect fraud through AI phone calls, alert systems, and voice-led transaction monitoring. This approach reduces fraud loss, response time, and manual workload.

Explore how top banks are using voice AI to prevent fraud at the source before it impacts customers or compliance.

Bank Fraud Is Rising Despite Security Investments

Bank fraud is evolving faster than traditional defense systems. Despite increased investments, fraudsters exploit blind spots in digital-first ecosystems. Banks must act in real time or risk revenue, trust, and compliance.

Digital Fraud Escalates Across Channels

Digital fraud isn’t limited to one source; it thrives on channel fragmentation. Criminals now mimic customer behavior across mobile, IVR, email, and SMS. They exploit human error, delayed response, and static systems.

• 18% YoY rise in digital fraud across global banks in 2024
• 62% of fraud originated from mobile, IVR, and chat channels
• Most systems lack unified visibility across these digital touchpoints

Digital fraud demands dynamic, AI-powered voice systems that adapt faster than attackers.

Why Traditional Alert Systems Fall Short

Banks still rely on outdated alert systems that trigger post-fraud. Manual investigations delay response, leading to financial loss and customer dissatisfaction. Siloed systems miss cross-channel fraud signals.

• Alert response time: 6+ hours on average
• 30% of alerts are false positives
• No shared intelligence between fraud, risk, and collections

Static alert systems can’t keep up with modern scams. AI is a necessity, not an upgrade.

Spike In Loan Fraud And Life Insurance Fraud

Loan fraud and life insurance fraud are surging across banks and NBFCs. Fraudsters use forged documents, impersonation, and synthetic identities to exploit loopholes. These fraud types cause high-ticket damage and reputational loss.

• $4.6B in global loan fraud losses in 2024
• 22% YoY rise in life insurance fraud cases
• Most frauds start during onboarding or early application calls

AI voice verification at onboarding is now essential to reduce exposure to loan fraud and insurance scams.
