The Early Warning Difference

As fraud continues to reach new levels of sophistication, the speed with which current and accurate information is integrated into the processes that detect, prevent and deter fraud becomes critical. Our history of delivering value has been built upon the active participation of financial services organizations of all sizes.

Early Warning Services is recognized throughout the financial services industry for its Trusted Custodian role. In this capacity, Early Warning maintains a common platform and safeguards the National Shared databases allowing financial services organizations to contribute and share information for the sole purpose of preventing, detecting and deterring fraud. These databases are at the core of all Early Warning fraud prevention services, which help detect high-risk individuals, accounts and payment transactions.

The databases are governed by a set of strict Operating Rules created and adopted by financial institutions to ensure the highest level of data integrity. The Rules explicitly state that the information must be used solely for fraud and loss prevention. Contributors are rewarded for the value created when their data helps another institution prevent a loss.

Our Board of Managers and Advisory Committee members play an invaluable role in providing feedback and guidance on current and future product innovations to best eliminate fraud in the industry. Membership consists of senior leaders in fraud management from financial services organizations across the nation.

Early Warning is majority owned by the nation’s leading retail banks. Bank Ownership offers unique perspective and helps facilitate openness and accelerates information sharing in the effort to thwart fraud.

By working together we can harness the best practices and experiences of some of the leading financial services organizations to meet the growing fraud challenges of the industry.
