Point Predictive’s Credit Union Auto Lending Fraud Trends Report 2023 highlighted a pivotal shift: credit unions led auto loan originations in Q4 2022, outpacing banks and captive lenders. Yet, it also marked a surge in fraud, with up to 1 million new fraudsters active in 2020. The industry faced over $8.1 billion in origination risk exposure in 2022, with synthetic identity and identity theft risks rising by 45% since 2018. Affordability risk surged by 52%, driven by inflation. Despite decreases in traditional fraud, new schemes like Zombie Debt Reassignment emerged, necessitating ongoing evaluation and improvement in fraud combat strategies. Point Predictive’s advanced AI technology is specifically designed to detect and prevent these evolving fraud schemes, providing a robust defense for lenders like Heartland Credit Union.
