Application fraud prevention
Stop fraud at the front gate
Synectics leads the market in application fraud defences, enabling banks, insurers and more to transform risk signals into trusted outcomes.
From real-time decisioning in SIRA, to predictive analytics and fake document screening, Synectics’ innovations are powered by the UK’s largest and most accurate risk intelligence consortium: National SIRA.
That means seeing threats early and blocking application fraud before it harms your business – all while providing friction-right experiences for genuine customers.
Good customer fast-tracking
Confidence built into every decision
Accelerate decisions without compromising confidence. Synectics helps financial services organisations fast-track genuine customers, while instantly identifying those who exceed your risk appetite.
Overlaying a predictive analytics engine onto the UK's most complete risk data asset is a powerful fraud defence. Combined with explainable AI and tailored risk modelling, you can validate identities early, reduce false positives and apply a strategy that's right for you.
Whether quoting, onboarding or rescreening, make decisions quickly with friction-right controls that keep genuine customers moving and risk under control.
Manipulated document screening
Catch fakes before they cost you
From fraudulent bank statements to forged claims evidence, document manipulation is on the rise and is often undetected by the human eye.
Synectics helps banks, lenders and insurers detect fake documents in real time, using AI, forensic analysis and a constantly expanding cross-sector intelligence library shared across the UK’s largest risk consortium.
This gives you unique visibility of patterns others miss — from template reuse to repeat attempts across the market — so you can stop fraud at the point of quote, application, First Notification of Loss and beyond.
Ongoing risk detection
Stay alert to what changes next
Application checks are where fraud defences are first tested, but they’re not where risk ends. Compliance threats continue to evolve throughout the customer lifecycle, demanding continuous oversight and adaptive control.
Synectics delivers both: real-time, trusted insight powered by National SIRA — the UK’s most comprehensive risk intelligence asset — and configurable controls aligned to your risk appetite, capacity and compliance obligations.
From behavioural change to post-onboarding risk signals, ongoing alerts warn of emerging threats without the noise. Alerts are explainable, workload is focused, and regulatory alignment is built in.
Real-time identity verification
Approve and board more good customers
Identity fraud is growing more advanced - from synthetic profiles to AI-generated identities. These threats make it harder to verify genuine customers without unnecessary friction.
Synectics gives you the clarity to move faster with confidence. Combining the UK’s largest private-sector fraud intelligence network — National SIRA — with public sector data and diverse digital signals, our real-time identity verification helps you confirm who’s genuine and who's not.
Accelerate the right approvals, reduce dropouts, and meet evolving regulatory obligations. All while tailoring checks to your risk appetite and delivering a friction-right experience.

What to expect
We know that every organisation’s challenges are unique.
From our initial Risk Assessment Lab through to ongoing support from our Client Success team, we take the time to understand your objectives, deliver measurable value, and build a partnership that lasts. Here’s what to expect when you work with us.

1.
Risk Assessment Lab
A Synectics Risk Assessment Lab gives fraud, risk, and financial crime leaders a powerful lens into hidden exposures and strategic opportunities.
By benchmarking your organisation’s intelligence against National SIRA – the UK’s largest risk database contributed to by 160+ financial services providers – you uncover threats your internal data alone can’t detect.
This light-touch, high-impact assessment delivers an executive-level view of your risk landscape – exposing gaps, blind spots and emerging risks.
Whether you’re validating strategy, securing investment, or accelerating change, our Risk Assessment Lab provides clear, confidential intelligence to advance your fraud objectives – at no cost to you.
It’s the first step to fighting fraud with greater confidence.
2.
Understanding objectives
Delivery scoping is where we turn strategy into reality.
After a detailed Data and Requirements Workshop, we work closely with you to define business outcomes, functional specifications, configure databases and systems, and support data integration.
Through iterative testing, real-time submissions, and rigorous validation, we ensure everything functions seamlessly before launch.
With structured sign-offs at every stage and dedicated post-launch support, our process guarantees a smooth transition to a fully operational system.
3.
Driving value
To ensure clients get maximum value from their investment, training begins during UAT, when you’ll be guided to access the data at a level that’s appropriate to you, whether you’re looking for higher level reporting or hands-on rule creation.
The Synectics team will be on hand to advise on fraud strategy as well as providing training on all aspects of your deliverables, so you feel confident creating your own rules and becoming as self-sufficient as you want to be.
4.
Ongoing success
At Synectics we’re proud that 98% of clients choose to renew with us each year.
Our partnership approach means that every client receives a tailored and award-winning experience.
From day one, a dedicated team of Client Success Managers, Account Development Managers and Service Delivery Managers work as an extension of your fraud team.
This hands-on support includes shared success metrics, ongoing performance analytics as well as the robust SLA monitoring, you’d expect.
