Trinity Bank: Scaling Defense Against APP Fraud.
Key Challenges
- Authorized Push Payment (APP) Fraud
- Remote Access Tool (RAT) Manipulation
- Limitations of Internal Legacy Systems
The Motivation
Trinity Bank faced a rising challenge: sophisticated scammers were bypassing traditional security by manipulating customers directly. These Authorized Push Payment (APP) scams involved fraudsters convincing clients to authorize transfers themselves, often while using Remote Access Tools (RAT) to guide them. The bank recognized that their internal systems struggled to identify when a legitimate user was acting under the influence of a scammer.
The Solution
Trinity Bank turned to ThreatMark to move beyond the limitations of their internal systems. The most significant shift was the transition from Detection to De-manipulation. With ThreatMark’s real-time fraud monitoring, Trinity Bank’s fraud team can now see exactly when a client is being manipulated, allowing them to pause suspicious sessions and reach out to the customer with specific evidence of the scam.
