Fraud Consortium

See fraud before it reaches your platform

Fraudsters collaborate. Now you can too. Detect known bad actors and emerging fraud patterns earlier by leveraging real-time, cross-institutional intelligence from over 100 fintechs, banks, and crypto companies, covering more than 80 million U.S. adults. When one member confirms fraud, the entire network is protected instantly.

How Fraud Consortium Works

From detection to network-wide protection

Shared fraud intelligence flows directly into your fraud and AML workflows. Screen users in real-time, trigger contextual alerts, and instantly protect the entire ecosystem when fraud is confirmed, all without exposing sensitive data.

Screen

Automatically screen users at onboarding or payment initiation against shared intelligence signals.

Alert

Receive real-time alerts through Unit21’s rules engine. Apply contextual logic such as: Block a transaction that exceeds $500 and is flagged by two or more members.

Block & share

Confirm fraud with one-click, and the entire network is updated in real time, strengthening defenses across the ecosystem.

What Makes Unit21 Consortium Unique

Consortium Use Cases

Know the fraudster before they hit you

Shared intelligence turns confirmed fraud activity into instant, ecosystem-wide protection. By leveraging real-time signals from a network of banks, fintechs, and crypto platforms, you can identify repeat offenders, detect compromised identities, and stop coordinated attacks before losses occur, all while strengthening onboarding and transaction decisions without exposing sensitive data.

Repeat offender detection

Block known bad actors before they hit your institution. When a fraudster is confirmed by one member, the entire network becomes smarter.

Account takeover early warning

Know when an identity has been compromised elsewhere. If a device, email, or identity element has been linked to ATO activity at another member institution, you’ll know instantly.

Synthetic identity & first-party fraud screening

Screen new users against ecosystem-wide reputation data. Thin-file identities are hard to detect in isolation. Across a network? Patterns emerge fast.

Mule network & layering detection

Expose coordinated fraud rings before losses scale. Fraud rarely operates in isolation. Mule networks move across institutions.

Social engineering & APP fraud prevention

Identify beneficiaries previously linked to scams. If a receiving account has been tied to social engineering or APP fraud elsewhere, your team can act instantly.

Real-time onboarding risk amplification

Strengthen onboarding decisions with ecosystem intelligence. Transaction history doesn’t exist at signup. Consortium intelligence fills that gap.
