Fraud Detection

Detect fraud more effectively

Detect suspicious transactions as they happen

Banks continue to be top targets of hackers and thieves. With Google Maps Platform, suspicious activity like large ATM withdrawals can be detected as they happen by using device-based location services to determine the opted-in customer’s location. Use Geocoding or Distance Matrix to ensure the device location is within a close distance from where the transaction happens. This signal can help detect fraudulent transactions before money is released.

70% decrease in fraudulent transactions by using geospatial data to verify customers' identities¹

45% decrease in fraudulent account setups by using geospatial data to verify customers’ identities¹

Recognize suspicious spending patterns

Fraud can also be characterized by suspicious geographical distances. Google Maps Platform can help recognize suspect transaction patterns, with Distance Matrix enabling the bank to get a sense of where a series of transactions occurs in relation to one another. If a single customer makes consecutive credit card purchases across a distance that doesn’t seem to match the time between them — say, transactions in London and Paris, 10 minutes apart — this can serve as a powerful fraud signal.
