Card fraud continues to evolve as digital payments become more common and criminals gain access to increasingly sophisticated tools. As financial institutions face rising losses from card-not-present fraud, account takeovers, and data breaches, the need for proactive card fraud prevention has become more urgent. Banks and credit unions are no longer relying solely on reactive measures to identify fraud after it occurs. Instead, they are investing in technologies that can detect compromised accounts, monitor emerging threats, and stop fraudulent activity before losses occur.
Advanced Fraud Solutions (AFS) is strengthening this approach with new enhancements to its TrueCards platform. The updates expand the platform’s ability to identify high-risk accounts, automate fraud management processes, and provide deeper visibility into transaction activity, helping financial institutions respond faster to evolving threats.
Advanced Fraud Solutions (AFS), a leader in deposit fraud detection software, today announced updates to the TrueCards® platform, AFS’ omnichannel debit and credit card fraud prevention solution. The latest TrueCards enhancements include an integration with Q6 Cyber to proactively monitor Dark Web-based threats; an automated risk notification process; a 3D view of Merchant Frequency; detection of duplicate transactions; as well as enhanced search screens.
TrueCards takes a proactive approach to card fraud, allowing banks and credit unions to identify and mitigate card fraud across any debit or credit card network. TrueCards is custom-built per financial institution and is able to work across processors. With TrueCards, banks and credit unions can streamline how they asses debit and credit card risk, while mitigating potential fraud losses, via a seamlessly integrated, centralized risk management system.
“The enhancements to the TrueCards platform will be highly valuable as serious fraud schemes, like card-not-present fraud, continue to evolve and accelerate,” said Ted Kirk, VP of Strategic Partnerships at AFS. “With the rise of digital payments, coupled with the availability of leaked personally identifiable information, card fraud will continue to be an issue for financial institutions. TrueCards represents a proactive approach to debit and credit card fraud management.”
According to The Nilson Report, card fraud losses are expected to rise and, in the U.S., reach an estimated $12.12 billion by 2020.
“The Q6 integration with TrueCards gives financial institutions a heads-up on which card accounts have been compromised by monitoring the Dark Web,” said Eli Dominitz, founder and CEO at Q6 Cyber. “In instances when account details have been compromised, it’s only a matter of time before a fraud attempt might occur. Financial institutions need to be able to react quickly and with precision to determine risk and, if needed, suspend compromised accounts.”
With TrueCards, banks and credit unions can determine the true point of compromise and block all cards at risk almost immediately. And with TrueCards’ updated automated risk notification process, fraud management is streamlined, making preventing losses easier. The learn more about TrueCards or schedule a demo, click here.
As fraudsters continue to exploit stolen credentials and compromised payment data, financial institutions must adopt more advanced tools to protect cardholders and reduce losses. Solutions that combine dark web monitoring, automated risk management, and enhanced transaction analysis can improve both fraud detection and operational efficiency.
The latest enhancements to TrueCards reinforce the importance of proactive card fraud prevention, enabling banks and credit unions to identify threats earlier, streamline investigations, and strengthen their overall fraud management strategies in an increasingly complex payments environment.
