FINANCIAL SERVICES | FRAUD DETECTION

Real-Time Fraud Detection for Financial Services

As fraud tactics evolve—from deepfakes and AI-generated scams to instant payment fraud—financial institutions must shift from post-event detection to real-time prevention.

Confluent enables you to combine, process, and govern all your data as it’s generated to identify anomalies, detect threats, and stop fraud before it spreads.

Check out our 5 Steps to Outsmart the Next Generation of Fraud checklist:

Detect and block fraudulent transactions in real time

Reduce false positives and operational losses with accurate insights

Refine fraud models and AI predictive intelligence

Prevent Fraud Before it Becomes Loss

Outdated fraud detection systems built on batch data and disconnected tools create dangerous blind spots across your firm’s defenses. When decisions are powered by incomplete or stale information, false positives rise, legitimate customers are disrupted, and fraudulent transactions are detected after losses occur. Every second of decision latency compounds your firm’s liability—increased revenue losses, inconsistent customer experiences, reputational damage, and regulatory exposure.Confluent enables real-time fraud detection by continuously streaming and correlating the behavioral, transactional, and contextual signals needed to identify risks the moment they appear.

By unifying this intelligence at scale across real-time and analytical systems, financial institutions can respond instantly, train AI models with live insights, and prevent fraud with accuracy and confidence—without slowing innovation or increasing operational risk.
