Onboarding and monitoring customers with Fraud & Transaction Monitoring issues

FrankieOne allows you to check an entity for Device/Customer Characteristics issues during the registration or login process. This fraud check can happen before or after KYC is completed. If the fraud check is performed before KYC, the customer will still be able to complete onboarding. That is, fraud issues will not prevent a customer from passing KYC.

Once an entity has passed KYC, FrankieOne can perform ongoing KYC and AML checks, as well as monitor transactions and logins for fraudulent behaviour. Issues arising from transaction monitoring can be resolved independently from issues arising from ongoing KYC and AML checks.

While fraud and transaction monitoring checks can occur at any time in the customer's lifecycle, from before onboarding to during ongoing monitoring, the result of such checks do not impact the customer's ability to pass KYC processes. Hence the entity's overall status and risk level only reflects KYC-related processes.

Customer Registration

Customers register for your application when they create an account. With FrankieOne you can check the customer or their device for potentially fraudulent behaviour during registration, even before the customer begins your onboarding process.

No issues found

If no device/customer characteristics issues are found, the customer will not appear in the portal until they begin onboarding. The customer data will still be accessible via the API using the Retrieve Entity Details endpoint.
