Identity theft happens in many ways, but ultimately the goal is always the same: to use real people’s data for nefarious deeds.
In neobanking, fraudsters and criminals use stolen identities to:
• Open bank accounts under someone else’s name – typically committing a specific example of identity theft fraud known as synthetic identity fraud.
• Take out credit loans that they have no interest in repaying.
• Launder money without linking transactions to their real-life identities.
