Fraud Detection & KYC
Verify identities and detect fraud — before it costs you
Synthetic identities pass basic checks. IntelBase adds a digital footprint layer to KYC and fraud workflows — revealing whether an email belongs to a real person with a legitimate online presence, or a fabricated identity with no history.
The challenge
Synthetic identities slip past traditional checks
Fraudsters build identities that look real on paper — valid SSNs, plausible addresses, clean credit files. Traditional KYC catches forged documents but misses the digital layer entirely. A fabricated identity has no LinkedIn, no social media history, no forum accounts. Legitimate people do. This gap is where fraud lives.

How IntelBase helps
Key capabilities
Digital identity verification
Cross-reference emails against hundreds of platforms. Legitimate identities have footprints; fabricated ones don't.
Fraud signal detection
Spot red flags — emails with no online presence, breach-compromised credentials, infostealer log exposure, or mismatched identity details.
Compliance-ready exports
Generate audit-ready PDF reports for regulatory submissions and internal fraud documentation.
Workflow
How it works
See how IntelBase fits into your fraud detection & kyc workflow, step by step.
Receive an applicant or flagged email
Start with the email address from a new account application, flagged transaction, or suspicious activity report.
Check for a legitimate digital footprint
IntelBase checks hundreds of platforms. Real people have accounts. Synthetic identities often have none — or suspicious patterns.
Assess breach and credential risk
See if the email appears in breach databases. Compromised credentials signal account takeover risk.
Document and escalate
Export findings as a PDF for compliance records, or share via team workspace for collaborative review.
