Fraud is becoming a costly and pervasive challenge for credit unions (CUs), eating into revenues. From check scams to cyber breaches, these attacks represent a growing issue, at times amplified by fraudsters sharing tactics online. The financial and reputational fallout is severe, with some CUs facing member dissatisfaction and widespread losses. Now, many institutions are prioritizing investment in advanced fraud-fighting technologies and looking to external partnerships to bolster defenses. With fraudsters continually adapting their tactics, CUs face an urgent need to enhance security and reinforce trust to protect their communities and futures.Fraud Increasingly Affects CUs’ Revenues and Member Bases.

Achieving equilibrium, however, is crucial for preserving a competitive edge while maintaining consumer trust.Economic shock waves from fraud lead to a costly cycle, compelling banks and FIs to redirect resources from innovation to immediate threat mitigation.

Recent news of a16z-backed fintech startup closing doors after failing to find a buyer proves just how tough is current environment for fintech startups. The fintech landscape got crowded, and startups have to work that much harder to stand out from the crowd.According to Crunchbase data, global venture funding in Q3 2024 decreased by 16% compared to the previous quarter and 15% in a year-over-year perspective.

Success will hinge on more than just launching good products or having reasonable roadmaps; businesses will have to put more effort into adopting communication strategies that resonate with investors and consumers and position them in a favourable light.How can that be done, you might ask? Well, let’s take a look at some practical examples.1. Personalisation and founder-focused brandingInvestors today look beyond just your product offering; they want to understand the people behind the project. Given the ongoing economic turmoil, they must be careful about choosing where to put their money, and a compelling founder story can make all the difference when trying to secure funding

Alloy, the identity risk management company behind nearly 600 leading banks and fintech companies, today announced Alloy for Embedded Finance, a new product custom-designed for sponsor banks, BaaS providers, and their fintech partners to collaboratively manage identity risk and stay ahead of regulatory requirements.Oftentimes, sponsor banks have not had sufficient oversight or control over whether their fintech partners have adhered to the banks’ government-mandated compliance requirements. Alternatively, in models where sponsor banks have taken on all compliance responsibilities, they have often forced their fintech partners into a one-size-fits-all approach to compliance that doesn’t suit fintechs’ evolving risk needs and often adds unnecessary friction to their user experiences.Alloy for Embedded Finance solves these challenges. The new product leverages the strength of Alloy’s existing platform while introducing a new parent/child account configuration. Sponsor banks (or ‘parent accounts’) have the ability to designate different levels of autonomy and guardrails for each of their fintech partners (or ‘child accounts’), depending on how mature the fintech is, how much of the process the fintech wishes to own, and the risk appetites of both parties. With this construct, sponsor banks can seamlessly build compliance policies, then issue and enforce them to each of their fintech partners all at once. More mature or ‘autonomous’ fintechs can customize their controls on top of these baseline policies, giving them the flexibility to tailor risk measures that don’t add unnecessary friction for end users
