One Platform. Every Channel. Real-Time.

EFRM helps banks identify, assess and prevent fraud across customers, accounts, channels and transactions, providing a broader view of fraud risk than monitoring individual channels in isolation. When digital banking, cards, payments and onboarding operate with disconnected fraud controls, suspicious activity can appear legitimate within each individual system -- EFRM connects relevant signals to help banks recognise patterns across the customer and transaction journey. Clari5 Enterprise Fraud Management brings cross-channel fraud intelligence, real-time risk assessment and investigation capabilities together to help banks make more informed fraud decisions.

Cross-channel fraud often involves a sequence of related events rather than one obviously suspicious transaction -- for example, a fraudster may take over a customer's account, add a beneficiary and initiate a transfer shortly afterwards. If each event is assessed independently, the relationship between them may be missed; connecting customer, device, account, beneficiary and transaction signals can help establish a broader risk picture. Clari5 supports cross-channel fraud monitoring and real-time decisioning to help banks identify suspicious patterns and intervene where the available signals, system integrations and transaction flow permit.

Effective fraud management must balance fraud prevention with the need to avoid unnecessary declines, customer friction and investigation costs. A bank should assess whether its fraud controls identify genuine threats while allowing legitimate transactions to proceed -- relevant measures include fraud detection rates, confirmed fraud losses, false-positive rates, legitimate transaction declines and the volume of alerts requiring manual investigation. Clari5's cross-channel intelligence and risk-based decisioning capabilities can help banks assess suspicious activity in context; the actual impact depends on the bank's data, detection strategies, implementation and operating processes, and results should be measured against an agreed baseline rather than assumed in advance.

Mule accounts and organised fraud networks can be difficult to identify when each account or transaction is examined separately -- their activity may become clearer when banks connect relationships between accounts, customers, devices, beneficiaries and transactions. Clari5's fraud intelligence and network analysis capabilities can help banks identify suspicious relationships and patterns across connected entities, supporting investigations into potential mule activity, linked accounts and coordinated fraud. Early detection depends on the signals available, the quality of connected data and the bank's detection strategies.

Real-time payments leave little time to assess risk, making decision speed, signal availability and the ability to intervene before completion particularly important. Banks need fraud controls that can evaluate relevant activity within the transaction flow and return an appropriate decision within the required processing window -- depending on the payment architecture and bank policy, actions may include allowing or declining a transaction, requesting additional authentication or triggering further investigation. Clari5 supports real-time fraud risk assessment and decisioning; banks should validate end-to-end response times, transaction interception points, availability and performance under peak loads before relying on a solution for critical payment flows.

Banks need to understand whether an enterprise fraud platform can work with their existing infrastructure without introducing unnecessary operational disruption. Integration requirements depend on the bank's core banking environment, payment systems, digital channels, data architecture and transaction processing requirements -- the assessment should establish which systems provide data, where fraud decisions must occur and how decisions and investigation outcomes are communicated. Clari5's Enterprise Fraud Management solution is designed to connect fraud intelligence across supported banking channels and systems; the integration approach, deployment model, implementation timeline and any required changes should be confirmed through a bank-specific technical assessment.

Banks need to understand why a transaction was flagged, what information informed a decision and how the resulting investigation was handled -- this is important for internal governance, audit reviews, operational accountability and applicable regulatory obligations. An effective fraud management workflow should support access to relevant decision information, investigation evidence, case history and analyst actions; the exact records required depend on the bank's policies, regulatory environment and system configuration. Clari5 provides fraud investigation and case management capabilities, and during evaluation banks should verify the available audit trails, decision explanations, evidence retention, access controls and reporting capabilities against their specific requirements.

Fraud patterns change as criminals exploit new channels, devices, payment methods and customer behaviours, and banks need to update detection strategies without introducing uncontrolled changes into production systems. An effective approach combines fraud intelligence, confirmed investigation outcomes, strategy tuning and ongoing performance monitoring -- changes should be tested and governed to ensure that improvements in fraud detection do not create unacceptable false positives or customer friction. Clari5 supports configurable fraud strategies and analytics for identifying suspicious activity; banks should evaluate the available model and strategy management capabilities, update process, validation controls and deployment arrangements for their intended use cases.

Banks should evaluate fraud management using both operational and business outcomes rather than relying solely on transaction volumes or processing speed -- important measures include fraud losses and confirmed fraud prevented (assessed using an agreed, defensible method), fraud detection and false-positive rates, legitimate transaction declines and customer friction, alert volumes and time to resolve cases, end-to-end decision latency and performance at peak volumes, and integration effort and ongoing operating costs. Clari5 can be evaluated against the bank's existing baseline and agreed use cases, with a structured assessment or proof of concept defining success criteria before testing so the results support an objective investment decision.

Fraud and anti-money laundering teams can investigate related activity from different perspectives -- fraud investigations may identify suspicious accounts or transaction relationships that warrant further AML review, while AML investigations may reveal connections relevant to fraud detection. When these teams work with fragmented data and separate investigation workflows, important relationships may be harder to identify; connecting relevant customer, account, transaction and investigation intelligence can support a more coordinated view of financial crime risk. Clari5 offers fraud management and AML capabilities, including a combined Fraud and AML approach, and banks should assess how the solutions share relevant intelligence, support investigation workflows and fit their existing fraud, compliance and reporting processes.
