Score traders based on the risk they take on and compare their current performance to past performance. Analyze real-time and historical financial data to view all trading activity and prevent fraud.
Detect Fraudulent Activities
Raw data arriving in PDF or text-based reports from clients and third-party systems can create confusion due to double payments, cash or billing schemes, and other types of fraud. Altair's financial services analytics and data preparation solutions can automate data extraction and transformation from these formats and apply advanced fraud detection techniques such as Benford’s Law or Gestalt tests. Easily generate and deploy business rules using Altair predictive analytics to trigger against probable fraud. Altair’s deep learning is superb at modeling complex relationships between inputs, outputs, and finding fraudulent patterns in large amounts of financial data.
Credit Origination
Common financial services analytics struggle to model risk accurately, transparently, and in regulatory compliance. This can be especially challenging when trying to determine who might expose risk to the business when offering lines of credit to existing or new applicants. With Altair’s financial services analytics solutions, the ability to score applicants of risk-based products or create a predictive credit scoring line increase or authorization requests can help financial service organizations better understand who might be at greater risk to default on credit loans. With this knowledge, organizations can leverage better collection approaches and deployment strategies.
