Celebrus + OnMarc: Revolutionizing Fraud Prevention

Author: Team Celebrus

Fraud prevention is a critical concern for businesses across all industries. The ability to stop fraud before it starts can save millions and significantly improve operational efficiency and financial performance. Celebrus and OnMarc have partnered to offer a powerful combination of technologies designed to prevent fraud in real time, ensuring that companies stay ahead of fraudsters, whether in insurance, banking, retail, or beyond. 

The Cost of Fraud: A Critical Issue 

Fraud impacts any business dealing with financial transactions, customer data, or valuable assets. Retailers face the risk of fraudulent transactions, banks deal with unauthorized account access, insurers must grapple with false claims and premium fraud, and online platforms contend with identity theft. The costs associated with fraud—whether it's chargebacks, lost revenue, reputational damage, or legal liabilities—can be immense. 

Even small percentage improvements in a company’s ability to detect and prevent fraud can significantly impact the bottom line. That's why Celebrus and OnMarc have partnered to help tackle this enormous challenge across various sectors, utilizing the most effective technology to augment existing fraud solutions.

Existing Solutions are too Reactive 

Today, solutions are designed to target existing offline and batched processes that run overnight. They’re reactive—identifying only existing, known frauds. The data is then processed by the anti-fraud software provider with only the risk score delivered to the business. Without sharing the data, most companies are unable to fully leverage and utilize the granularity and richness of the data to build new propensity models, supplemented by other internal and third-party data sources. Not to mention, black box solutions leave companies at risk and do not allow for transparency and audit trails.

As we see in the news daily, fraud tactics are always evolving so staying ahead of fraud with an agile approach that also enables fraud prevention is imperative. For that, you need real-time data, real-time scoring, and a way to drill down on behaviors that are indicative of potential fraud before it happens.  

Fighting Fraud - Better Together 

Fraudsters take advantage of increased online invisibility, but in the digital space, users leave significant digital footprints. Celebrus and OnMarc offer a groundbreaking solution to detect and prevent fraudulent activities in milliseconds, by leveraging comprehensive digital data and advanced analytics. Celebrus captures these digital footprints to form the basis of better evidence for all current and future visits. Having been a partner of Celebrus for decades, OnMarc has extensive experience in making this data actionable for their clients. Their track record in digital data and machine learning applications helps organizations turn those digital signals into valuable outputs. 

To combat fraud in digital spaces, brands need to rethink their strategies. Gone are the days of relying on scores coming out of platforms with no context, systems that take 6 months to update their models (up to 18 months to get a new model), and post-authentication-only systems. Today’s digital environment demands solutions that are proactive, real-time, and deeply integrated with all available data. 

The partnership between Celebrus and OnMarc brings together cutting-edge technologies that enhance fraud prevention capabilities across multiple industries that include:

  • Immediate Insights: 
    • Celebrus data helps spot suspicious activity as it happens, such as a sudden change in device usage, location, or behavior pattern—all of which are captured within the digital identity.

    • OnMarc applies best practices based on digital behavior research to spot potential fraud as it is happening.

Tackling Fraud Challenges Head On 

Fraud prevention goes beyond just catching fraudulent activities at the initial stages of interaction, account creation, policy inception, or claim registration. It also involves addressing the issue of repeat offenders who try to avoid detection by slightly altering their personal information. Celebrus and OnMarc excel at identifying these persistent fraudsters and preventing them from exploiting the system.
