When discussing fraud and its significant impact on the world and our daily lives, the conversation often focuses on fintech, fraud detection and particularly areas like money laundering, tax embezzlement and other criminal activities.

The discussion around fraud and the ability to detect it in finance has gained significant importance, especially in recent years, as those committing fraud have become increasingly sophisticated.

Together in a close partnership, Partisia are joining forces with the Japanese company Digital Platformer. Both companies are market leaders within their fields, Digital Platformer a pioneer in Decentralised solutions for the financial sector and Partisia an innovative tech company and a pioneer within Multiparty Computation. 

Our mutual goal is to create the next generation of financial fraud detection that brings in confidential data across banks and other financial institutions to prevent fraud in finance while ensuring that the data remains fully protected.

Changing the status quo in the way we detect fraud today

While financial fraud is orchestrated by bad actors across many banks, the regulation requires individual banks to discover and detect fraud. This is a fundamental problem and the solution is to ensure that the good actors collaborate and collectively map the financial fraud is paramount to stay ahead and prevent fraud. This partnership brings together insights across Japan and Europe to do exactly that.
Kurt Nielsen CEO, Partisia

Across the globe, especially in the digital age, people struggle to navigate both control and privacy of sensitive data. Informed consent has become a significant concern over the past few decades. Consequently, laws such as GDPR and the upcoming AI Act are designed to protect individual users.

Although these laws are crucial and necessary, they complicate fraud detection since banks are constrained in  sharing client information. When banks suspect fraud, they must contact public authorities, who then have to connect the dots using only the data they can gather independently. 

Since fraud is often only partially detected by single banks, other banks may unknowingly accept fraudulent transactions. In fact, the lack of data sharing may cause many cases to go cold.

As a result, valuable insights and knowledge about behavioural patterns and red flags are often missing from their data library due to a lack of historical data. 

This partnership aims to change that

By combining the expertise and know-how of both Digital Platformer and Partisia, we are developing a tool that perfectly balances privacy and transparency. Utilising multiparty computation technology, we are creating a platform that enables secure data sharing among different banks within a vast network while preserving confidential and personal data.

Our work is groundbreaking for the financial sector, as it allows banks not only to detect fraud in real-time but also to predict future fraudulent activities. This will save substantial amounts of money and time. The best part is, with every logged activity, our system becomes smarter.
