Digital payments are booming — and so are fraud attempts. Fraud schemes are growing more sophisticated, from AI-powered identity theft to adaptive attack vectors that slip past rule-based systems. The cost is staggering: in the US alone, consumer losses reached $12.5 billion in 2024, nearly four times the 2020 total. In Europe, reported incidents nearly doubled between 2022 and 2024 — a surge of 110%.
Traditional systems simply can’t keep pace. Banks and payment providers face a critical challenge: how to stop fraud in real time without overwhelming teams with false positives or blocking genuine transactions.
You Must Move Faster
AI changes the fraud game. Unlike static rules, AI-driven models analyze massive datasets instantly, uncover subtle anomalies, and adapt on the fly. Studies show they can boost detection accuracy by up to 50% while reducing management costs by 30%.
Real-world leaders like Mastercard show how AI transforms fraud defense at scale. For more than a decade, Mastercard has used machine learning to monitor transactions in real time, flagging anomalies such as repeated failed logins or sudden, high-value withdrawals.
Its newest AI-powered fraud detection system now scans nearly 160 billion transactions each year and delivers risk assessments in under 50 milliseconds.
This level of speed and precision not only blocks fraudulent activity before it impacts customers, but also significantly reduces false positives — ensuring genuine transactions are not unnecessarily declined.
The result: stronger protection, measurable business value, and greater trust.
