Commenting on the selection of ARIC platform, NatWest head of fraud prevention & response Alasdair MacFarlane said: “The only way to consistently stop multifaceted fraud and protect our customers is to learn about customers’ specific behaviours, recognise what’s normal and immediately detect anomalies.

“Featurespace allows us to more accurately assess risk and authenticate activity across multiple channels, while facilitating a much stronger incident management process.”
