As Global Fraud Losses Hit Historic $1.03 Trillion, Velera Launches Multi-Layered Defense Platform

CU Today

ST. PETERSBURG, Fla.--With criminals stealing a record-shattering $1.03 trillion worldwide in 2024 —the largest wealth transfer to fraud ever recorded — Velera has introduced its new Risk Mitigation Ecosystem, a cloud-based, multi-layered approach to fraud prevention and detection.

"Representing the next evolution of Velera’s industry-leading risk platform hub, Velera’s Risk Mitigation Ecosystem is designed to protect credit unions and their members from an increasingly complex landscape of fraud, including new and emerging threats like consumer-engaged fraud and scams," Velera said. 

Today, fraudsters are exploring strategies ranging from card not present (CNP) scams to synthetic ID fraud and account takeover, among others.
 
Industry experts expect that the continued growth of artificial intelligence (AI) will only increase fraud threats in the years to come, highlighting the need for agile solutions that help credit unions stay ahead, Velera said.
