In this episode, Kevin King, VP of US Credit Risk & Marketing Strategy, and Kim White, Senior Director of North America Fraud & Identity, dive deeper into the complex world of first-party fraud, building on insights from Season 1. They explore how early payment defaults (EPDs) can mask first-party fraud and why distinguishing between identity and intent-based behaviors is critical for lenders and risk managers.

The episode features a case study using clustering analysis to profile EPD drivers and offers actionable strategies for isolating fraud entry points and applying friction intentionally. You’ll also learn:

• Why early-stage defaults are a key signal of first-party fraud
• How to differentiate between identity theft, synthetic identity and identity manipulation
• How to design smarter, targeted defenses that balance loss prevention, customer friction and operational efficiency
