Fraud Prevention & Risk-Based Onboarding Features | FrankieOne

The following sections outline the key features and fraud signals that power FrankieOne’s Risk-based Onboarding solution.

Fraud checks

FrankieOne provides the following solutions that customers can use to prevent fraud when using Onboarding Fraud Checks.

Email check

Assesses whether the email is disposable, numeric, contains similarities to the user’s name, how old it’s, how risky the domain is, and its general risk in our fraud provider networks.

Phone check

Assesses whether the number is associated with a risky line type like VOIP (Voice over Internet Protocol), the risk of the carrier, whether the phone name matches the user’s profile with their telco, or if it’s reported as fraudulent.

Device check

Device signals

Uses cookies and device fingerprinting to detect suspicious devices (like emulators or scripts) and sessions (such as proxies or remote desktops). Flags devices or IPs linked to multiple users to identify potential synthetic accounts and session relationships.

Behavioural biometrics

Analyzes mouse and typing patterns to detect fraud, such as frequent copy-pasting, rapid input, and unnatural mouse movements.

Location check

Assesses whether the user is located where they say they are, is using a VPN, or is in a high-risk location.

Rules

Creating rules

We provide a risk rule engine for you to use that’s extremely versatile, and allows you to create rules using a huge range of user, phone, email, device, and location signals.

Shadow mode

If a rule is in Shadow mode, that means it will “execute”, but it won’t update the risk level of a session. Running rules in Shadow mode initially is an easy way to start to get additional data about each session and experiment with what risk signals are most associated with fraud.

Results in the Portal

In the Portal, you can view fraud check results alongside your KYC checks in a single view.

When a user is run through a workflow with onboarding fraud checks enabled, and it fails for any reason, you can see the specific risks associated with the failure on the overview page.
