New Study by GBG and Chartis Research Reveals Rising Fraud Threats in Asia’s Financial Sector and the Push for Advanced Technology Solutions

The report surveyed 114 senior fraud professionals in Asia to uncover fraud trends, challenges, and prevention measures by financial institutions


SINGAPORE – Media OutReach Newswire – 1 August 2024 – GBG, the leading expert in global identity and location, in collaboration with Chartis Research, revealed that 8 in 10 Asian financial institutions and banks are facing significant challenges related to digital fraud detection, but are actively investing in technology and user experience to mitigate the risks and uphold customer confidence. The key findings are part of their latest report, Building Trust in Digital Channels: A Study of Banking and Finance in Asia, that examines the challenges and advancements in fraud detection and prevention amidst record digital adoption rates in the region.

Rising fraud complexity and frequency

There is a concerning trend in the increasing complexity and frequency of fraud incidents, with almost 90% of respondents seeing the evolving tactics and sophistication as the biggest challenge to fraud detection. Notably, scams and phishing attacks saw the most significant spikes, with 59% and 57% of respondents reporting an increase in these two typologies, respectively. Synthetic ID-based fraud has also come to the fore in recent times – a traditionally North American phenomenon – it has become more prevalent in Asia as fraud becomes more commoditised, with 58% reporting a rise in such cases.

Balancing security with customer trust as digital adoption rises

A striking 97% of respondents acknowledge the difficulty in maintaining a balance between security and customer experience, with a notable 79% considering it a substantial hurdle. This reflects the rapid push for digital adoption throughout Asia where real-time payments are now a mainstay, which naturally increases the vulnerabilities to fraud for both the financial institution and its clients. It is therefore imperative that these organisations ensure robust security measures are in place while providing a more assured customer experience, in order to maintain customer trust.

Legacy systems disrupt accurate fraud detection, but most organisations possess platforms to consolidate fraud into a single platform

Accurately detecting newer, more complex fraud typologies will require a multi-layered approach that integrates the traditional anomaly detection techniques with more advanced approaches such as neural networks. However, the presence of legacy systems and technology makes it harder to ingest and use additional data in existing fraud practices, with 64% citing this as a key reason for high false positive rates. This issue is exacerbated by the fact that organisations are already plagued by poor data – a sentiment shared by more than half of the respondents (52%).

Encouragingly, organisations are proactively addressing this issue, with 88% of respondents already possessing a single, consolidated platform that enables data interchange and sharing, to ultimately reduce their risk exposure to potential fraud and financial crimes.

Proactive technological investments are a priority

Banks and financial institutions in Asia have traditionally focused on recruiting staff to plug gaps in fraud detection. However, the study found that these organisations will intensify their investments in machine learning (ML) and artificial intelligence (AI) in the coming years (16% in 2023-24 to 68% in 2025-26), indicating a move away from traditional anomaly detection towards automated capabilities that can handle more complex tasks. This shift aims to reduce the burden on staff and high organisational costs, while improving fraud detection efficiency.

On the report, Bernardi Susastyo, General Manager, Asia & Fraud APAC, GBG, said, “Our collaboration with Chartis sheds light on the pressing challenges faced by the banking and finance sector in Asia, emphasising the imperative for seamless customer onboarding and robust fraud prevention measures. As the ever-evolving fraud threats loom large, it is encouraging to see more of these institutions adopt a proactive security posture through emerging technologies.”

GBG is committed to revolutionising digital enterprise fraud risk solutions and combating fraud for organisations regionally and globally, empowering them to thrive in the digital age while safeguarding against financial crime,” he added.

New report by the Lung Cancer Education and Advocacy for Patients highlights role of patient advocacy in providing better care for patients

Report outlines the key challenges and opportunities and recommendations to empower Asian advocates in lung cancer

SINGAPORE – Media OutReach Newswire – 1 August 2024 – A white paper released by the Lung Cancer Education and Advocacy for Patients (LEAP) has highlighted the importance of enhancing patient advocacy in lung cancer, alongside key challenges and opportunities in this space in Singapore. The report, titled Empowering Asian Lung Cancer Advocates, draws on global best practices as well as insights from the Hopeful Voices Patient Advocate Roundtable Meeting, hosted by Lung Cancer Education and Advocacy for Patients (LEAP) and the Lung Cancer Consortium Singapore (LCCS) in late 2023.

During roundtable discussions attended by lung cancer patients and their families, several key priorities in the lung cancer care continuum were identified:

1. Increasing the influence of patient advocates in decision-making and healthcare service development

2. Improving early-stage lung cancer diagnoses by raising awareness or improving access to early screening.

3. Improving access to innovative treatments and diagnostics.

Lung cancer remains the most frequently diagnosed cancer worldwide, representing about 12.4% of all cases in 2022. It is the primary cause of cancer-related deaths globally, with over 1.8 million fatalities annually[1]. In Singapore, it is the third most common cancer and leading cause of cancer deaths[2]. With ageing populations in Asia, more people are expected to be diagnosed with cancer. Inevitably, they and their caregivers, as well as their healthcare teams may encounter challenges across the cancer care continuum, including education, screening, diagnosis, treatment, survivorship, rehabilitation, and end-of-life care[3].

Dr Teh Yi Lin, Medical Oncologist and Lead for LEAP said, “Robust support services, such as medical treatment support, psychosocial care, and educational resources, are essential to ensure that lung cancer patients and their loved ones are well-informed and supported. Patient advocates play a pivotal role in helping to ensure that there is effective support for those affected by cancer.”

The white paper outlines actionable recommendations for patient advocacy groups to address the issued identified and enhance lung cancer advocacy in Singapore. They include:

1. Enhancing patient advocacy for better cancer care

  • Foster empowered communities: Build and support communities that provide evidence-based information, psychosocial support, and financial guidance to help patients and families manage the complexities of their cancer journey
  • Utilise social networks and media platforms for engagement: Develop and leverage social media and traditional media platforms to connect patients and advocates, enabling them to share experiences, personal stories and advice to raise public awareness.
  • Integrate patient insights in research: Collaborate with researchers to integrate patient needs and perspectives in clinical trials and studies
  • Advocacy training and mentorship: Offer training and mentorship programs to equip individuals with the skills needed for effective advocacy

2. Advocate for better access to lung cancer screening

  • Increase public awareness and participation: Implement broad education campaigns and community outreach to increase awareness of lung cancer risks and the benefits of early screening.
  • Policy advocacy for screening access: Establish strong partnerships between patient advocacy groups, scientists, and policy-makers to keep up-to-date with the latest scientific findings on the importance of lung cancer screening.

3. Advocate for better access to potentially life-saving treatments and clinical trials

  • Raise public awareness and educate patients: Collaborate with healthcare professionals to inform patients about the availability of new treatments and companion diagnostic tests to improve early detection and diagnosis.
  • Lower financial barriers: Work towards ensuring access to treatments and diagnostic tests and reducing the financial burden on patients.
  • Facilitate clinical trial participation: Increase public and patient education on the benefits of participating in clinical trials.

The white paper is supported by AstraZeneca. For more information and to download the full white paper, please visit http://lccs.com.sg/leap
