GIACT, an LSEG (London Stock Exchange Group) business, today announces a partnership with Mastercard, a global technology company in the payments industry, to leverage its Open Banking capabilities to provide a secure account verification solution for customers.

The partnership will build on LSEG’s existing suite of digital identity and fraud solutions, allowing businesses to use a multi-method approach to verify account information for over 95%* of U.S. deposit accounts.

GIACT’s report, Consumer Scams: Rising in Velocity & Sophistication, looks at the methods scammers used to target U.S. consumers, including email, text, phone, and social media. As detailed within the report’s findings, U.S. consumers were solicited through a wide range of mediums using a variety of tactics to social engineer victims into providing payment and / or sensitive payment information.

Aite-Novarica, a research and advisory firm, today announced a new Impact Report commissioned by GIACT, a Refinitiv company, that details excessive high rates of identity theft – including application fraud and account takeover – and its impact on U.S. consumers along with virtually every type of financial product, commercial platform and government support.
