Advantages of biometrics

• Can’t leave home without it

• Easy to use; sometimes housed on device

• Quick, convenient authentication

• Multiple types can be used – fingerprint, voice, behavioral, etc.

• Behavioral is totally transparent to customer, introducing no friction• Voice may also be transparent, dependent on implementation method• Other biometrics are quick, easy to use, and convenient

• Enable layers of security based on risk of customer’s activity

• Stops identity crimes: account takeover, application fraud, synthetic identities

A single solution provider reduces expense of vendor management

Attack rate declines over

time until all attacks stop

Nature of the attack means

prevention success is high.

Fraudsters eventually stop

attacking.

They can recruit new voices,

but this increases their costs,

reducing their profit.

Prosecution removes the bad

guys from future attacks…

In the past, identity crimes were low risk, high reward

Biometrics enable prosecution so they can’t continue their attacks

• One financial institution has prosecuted over 50 criminals

Organized crime rings are stealing to fund:

• Terrorism

• Human trafficking

• Purchasing weapons, etc.

Operational efficiency improvements (business case)

• Reduction of average handle time in contact centers

• Reduction of identity-related fraud losses and cases to be worked

• Reduction of use (and cost) of outdated, underperforming authentication methods

Improvements in operational efficiency, fraud losses, authentication, customer experience, and demonstrated regulatory compliance (KYC) may all be components of a successful business case.

Key takeaways

• Using biometrics (and combining them with other key capabilities) across all delivery channels can lead to improved authentication results, significantly lowering both identity crime incidents and fraud losses.

• Authentication performed quickly with the customer’s collaboration can better protect their accounts, leading to operational efficiency gains and reducing customer attrition due to fraud incidents.

• Shortening the time it takes to authenticate a customer is a win-win situation, particularly in the contact center, where reducing the average handling time per call can result in substantial operational efficiency gains.

Key takeaways

• Combining transparent fraud prevention capabilities with the use of biometrics (in one solution) can enable lower false positives (leading to budget savings) as well as lower fraud losses.

• Eliminating or reducing the use of knowledge-based authentication questions can improve authentication while making the customer experience much more pleasant.
