Financial institutions, organizations, and customers face great harm as a result of fraud in the industry. The potential risks associated with fraud schemes are increasing, and preventive actions are essential to reduce their level of impact. In order to combat fraud in the financial industry, this research paper investigates the possibilities of using open banking data and digital identification solutions. Digital identification solutions provide trusted ways to confirm people’s identities by combining technology like biometrics and secure authentication processes. Accurate and secure identification verification is made possible by different technologies such as facial and fingerprint recognition. Users and service providers can establish secure and trusted connections through the use of secure authentication protocols like OpenID Connect and OAuth. By strengthening identity verification procedures, these solutions help prevent fraudulent activity. Financial organizations can identify possible fraud possibilities with the help of open banking data that is made available by third party data analytics providers through APIs. Account specifics, transactional data, and consumer behavior patterns are all included in this data. Financial institutions can detect unusual behavior and possible fraud threats by analyzing this data. Proactive detection and improved fraud prevention tactics are made possible by the integration of open banking data. he objective of this research paper is to examine the effectiveness of these technologies in identifying and preventing fraudulent activities and their overall impact on fraud prevention strategies in the financial industry.
