Global Fraud Index & Fraud Protection Analytics by Sumsub

This is like a regular ‘crime report’ but focused on digital fraud around the world: it measures where fraud is getting worse, what types are growing, and how well different regions are protecting themselves, so banks, fintechs, and regulators can see where they’re exposed.

Executive Brief

Business Problem Solved

Organizations and regulators lack clear, comparable insight into how fraud is evolving across regions (e.g., Asia-Pacific vs. others), which fraud patterns are rising, and whether current defenses are effective. The index aggregates fraud data into a single view that helps prioritize investments in fraud prevention and compliance.

Value Drivers

Risk Mitigation: Better understanding of regional fraud patterns and vulnerabilitiesCost Reduction: Focus fraud-prevention spending on the riskiest channels/regionsRegulatory & Compliance Support: Evidence for risk-based controls and supervisionStrategic Planning: Benchmarking fraud exposure vs. peers and other regions

Strategic Moat

Proprietary, large-scale fraud and KYC data collected across many clients and regions, plus embedded position in customer onboarding and verification workflows that makes switching costly.

Differentiation Factor

Combines global KYC/AML onboarding data with regional fraud analytics to produce a comparative index (e.g., highlighting Asia-Pacific lagging in protection), which is more benchmark-oriented than typical point-solution fraud tools.
