• 25%: monthly increase in fraud attacks across Argentina since 2019
  • 39%: increase in bank phishing
  • 3000%: increase in bank fraud complaints in 2021
  • Partnership helps drive Supervielle’s digital transformation strategy

Supervielle and Featurespace™, the leading provider of financial crime prevention software, have partnered to provide fraud protection to support Supervielle’s digital transformation strategy by adjusting the banking service model to help customers with their needs and expectations. In addition, the action, which is part of the bank’s ‘Human Banking’ initiative, will put the bank ahead of the growing regulatory requirements expected across the country.

“Our vision is to offer our clients, not only the best and easiest way to operate, but also a way to do it in a safe and reliable way,” said Sabrina Roiter, Executive Manager of Comprehensive Risks. “This vision cannot be achieved without the very best technology to prevent the rising threats of fraud and financial crime. With the addition of Featurespace and their ARIC Risk Hub, we can accelerate our plans and further improve the experience for our customers”.

Featurespace will deploy ARIC™ Risk Hub, their proprietary machine learning ecosystem, across Supervielle’s entire bank. The payment fraud detection and prevention solution will monitor all transactions corresponding to all Supervielle’s digital banking activity.

ARIC™ Risk Hub analyzes the entire payment journey and accurately predicts individual behavior in real time, understanding risk even as underlying behaviors change. With this self-learning technology, anomalies in Supervielle’s customer behavior can be rapidly understood, evaluated and acted on.

“Supervielle have taken a proactive approach to addressing the risks associated with digital banking, and we are delighted to partner with them to help make Argentina a safer place to transact,” said Dave Excell, Founder of Featurespace. “We continue to see a growing need in Latin America for greater protection against emerging fraud attacks, whilst also maximizing the number of genuine transactions that are so critical to customer satisfaction and bank profitability.”

Since 2019, the monthly average of successful fraud attacks has increased in Argentina by more than 25%. According to the Argentine Association for the Fight against Cybercrime (AALCC), banking phishing has increased in Argentina 39%. The AALCC also says that computer-based fraud has grown the most in 2021. In 2020, the cybercrime tax authority (UFECI) announced to prosecutors that bank fraud complaints in Argentina had increased by 3,000%, later adding that 28% of Argentines have recently received a phishing campaign and 15% have confirmed that they have fallen for the bank fraud.
