tbi Bank Increases Loan Approvals by 5% While Strengthening Fraud Controls with FINRECOVRA
Smarter Risk Decisions. More Approved Customers. Less Fraud.
tbi Bank needed to grow loan approvals without increasing exposure to fraud. Traditional risk models were too rigid—rejecting good customers while still missing sophisticated fraud patterns.
By integrating FINRECOVRA’s identity, behavioral, and device intelligence, tbi Bank unlocked higher approval rates, better risk visibility, and faster decision-making—without compromising security.
The Challenge
Growth Was Being Blocked by Risk Uncertainty
tbi Bank faced a critical trade-off:
- Increase approvals → risk more fraud
- Tighten controls → lose legitimate customers
Key issues included:
- High false declines from overly conservative risk rules
- Limited visibility into borrower authenticity
- Difficulty detecting synthetic identities and manipulated applications
- Manual reviews slowing down loan processing
The result: Missed revenue opportunities and inefficient operations
The Solution
FINRECOVRA’s Multi-Layer Fraud & Identity Intelligence
tbi Bank implemented FINRECOVRA to enhance decisioning across the entire loan application journey.
Key capabilities deployed:
1. Identity Verification Beyond Documents
- Cross-check email, phone, and behavioral signals
- Detect synthetic and manipulated identities
- Validate applicant authenticity in real time
2. Device & Behavioral Intelligence
- Identify risky devices and repeat fraud patterns
- Analyze user behavior during application flow
- Detect anomalies invisible to traditional scoring
3. Risk-Based Decisioning
- Assign dynamic risk scores per application
- Enable smarter approvals instead of blanket rejections
- Trigger step-up verification only when necessary
4. Automation of Fraud Checks
- Reduce dependency on manual reviews
- Accelerate approval workflows
- Maintain consistent decision quality at scale
The Results
Measured Impact After Implementation
- +5% Increase in Loan Approvals
- Significant Reduction in False Declines
- Faster Application Processing Times
- Improved Fraud Detection Accuracy
- Lower Operational Costs from Automation
