Whether onboarding new users, verifying transactions, or reviewing account changes, CRS Fraud Finder enables credit teams to act quickly, accurately, and with greater confidence when fraud is detected.
“Email sits at the center of every digital identity and we are proud to help CRS Fraud Finder tap into email’s real-time fraud signals to identity high-risk activity before checking credit,” said Diarmuid Thoma, AtData’s Head of Fraud and Data. “CRS recognizes that the value of an email-centric approach makes fraud detection more precise, more flexible, and far easier to implement than traditional identity tools.”
CRS has built its Fraud Finder to check AtData’s email address intelligence for real-time email-based risk scoring using global behavioral signals to detect fake accounts, account abuse, and suspicious updates.
