The move will see VyStar adding Verint Identity Authentication and Fraud Detection to its contact centre.

The deployment will help to prevent fraudsters’ attempts to steal consumer identity and information from contact centres. With increasing security on online channels, the fraudsters often target these contact centres to procure confidential information.
Verint will provide multiple layers of protection at VyStar including adaptive fraud analytics to ensure authenticity of a call to the centre. It includes analysing telephony and voice self-service behavioural data.
Additionally, when the call reaches a live agent, the voice is further assessed through Verint’s embedded voice biometrics.
VyStar Credit Union senior vice-president for operations and payments Melissa Thomas said: “A fraud situation is a highly emotionally-charged event, one that can either reinforce member trust or potentially destroy it.
