Speik have partnered with Pindrop to provide their revolutionary intelligent phone fraud detection technology, available through Speik’s cloud-hosted secure voice platform. The solution combines customer authentication and fraud detection for a smart call centre solution that quickly tells agents whether callers are who they claim to be. Until now, call centres have had to apply the same high level of security to every incoming call which can be expensive, frustrating for customers, and ineffective at stopping fraud. The cloud-based solution scores calls against key risk factors such as audio characteristics, geo-location and phone number reputation. Utilising Pindrop’s patented Phoneprint™ technology, Identity Assessment Engine, within the first 30 seconds of the call, the agent receives an on-screen notification displaying the call’s overall risk score, along with custom instructions for how to further authenticate the call as necessary. This process allows agents to quickly and easily assess the true identity of callers, using a single interface. Those deemed to be high risk are subjected to more stringent security checks, while genuine callers have a smoother experience as a result of less security screening each time they call.
