How AI can be used in stopping fraud in the loyalty program space
Share Share ShareShare

We are today living in times where it is very easy to make content using AI tools. It is getting challenging to know what the right and correct content is online, vs what is fake. Be it images, videos, news, stories and any form of content, there are high chances of a user not able to know if it is original or fake.

And this pattern now also applies to loyalty programs and the model we have in India. Earlier, loyalty programs were simpler in nature and had only one aim to retain customers. Today, with growing user base and demand by companies, the risks involved here for fraud have also gone up.

So, how can one use AI to stop fraud in the initial stages. Here are some ways:

Behavioral Analytics: AI monitors customer behavior, flagging deviations from established patterns, such as unusually large redemptions or suspicious account activity. For instance, if a customer suddenly redeems a large number of points in a short period, the system might flag this as suspicious.

Predictive Modeling: Machine learning algorithms create predictive models to assess the likelihood of future fraud based on historical data and risk factors. These models can identify potential fraudsters by analyzing their past behavior, demographics, and other relevant factors.

Network Analysis: AI maps relationships between accounts and transactions, identifying potential collusion or organized fraud rings. By visualizing these connections, AI can detect patterns that suggest fraudulent activity, such as groups of individuals engaging in coordinated point manipulation or account sharing.

Brands and brand managers need to have a proactive approach towards taking active steps. One should keep track and have Real-time Monitoring. Today, AI can continuously monitor customer behavior, identifying anomalies in real-time and triggering alerts. This allows for immediate intervention and prevents fraud from escalating. Brands should work towards long term investment in this. As the use of new-age technology increases, new age solutions are the way to go.

There should be Automated Alerts in place. AI-powered systems can send automated notifications to program administrators about suspicious activity, enabling timely intervention. These alerts can include details about the suspected fraud, such as the involved accounts, transactions, and potential indicators of fraud.

By analyzing historical data, AI can identify potential fraudsters before they attempt to exploit the program. This proactive approach allows for preventive measures to be taken, such as increasing security measures or restricting certain privileges for high-risk individuals.

Let’s now further delve into specific cases of AI in Loyalty Program Fraud Prevention.

  1. AI can identify synthetic identities, which are fabricated identities created for fraudulent purposes. By analyzing various data points, such as demographic information, purchase history, and social media activity, AI can detect inconsistencies that indicate a synthetic identity.
  2. AI can detect and prevent point manipulation, such as hacking into accounts to steal points or engaging in fraudulent point accumulation schemes. By analyzing transaction patterns and identifying anomalies, AI can identify suspicious activity and take appropriate action.
  3. AI can identify account takeovers, where unauthorized individuals gain control of customer accounts. By monitoring login attempts, device usage, and other behavioral factors, AI can detect suspicious activity and alert administrators to potential account compromises.

Including AI in loyalty programs also brings its set of benefits in the fraud prevention framework. AI can significantly enhance the security of loyalty programs by detecting and preventing fraud. By leveraging advanced algorithms and machine learning techniques, AI can identify and mitigate various types of fraudulent activity, protecting both the program and its participants.

AI can also help maintain a positive customer experience by preventing fraud. Fraudulent incidents can lead to frustration and dissatisfaction among customers, so by preventing it, loyalty programs can ensure that customers have a positive and enjoyable experience. These types of incidents end up being costly for loyalty programs, both in terms of financial losses and damage to reputation. By preventing fraud, AI can help to reduce costs and protect the program’s bottom line.

Loyalty programs are subject to various regulations, including data privacy and consumer protection laws. AI can help ensure compliance with these regulations by detecting and preventing fraudulent activity that could lead to legal and financial penalties.

As we move in this fast-moving world, business will have to increase the speed at which they adapt to AI and new age technology. AI is a powerful tool in easing businesses. By leveraging advanced algorithms and machine learning techniques, AI can detect and prevent various types of fraudulent activity, protecting both the program and its participants. As the business of loyalty programs continue to evolve and become more complex, the role of AI in fraud prevention will only become more important.
