Synthetic identity fraud is a growing threat in business identity, particularly for payments, lending platforms, e-commerce, and marketplaces.

Learn how integrating comprehensive insights, like those from Middesk, can help build more accurate risk profiles and strengthen onboarding flows.

Key takeaways:

• Areas where autofill attributes introduce vulnerabilities
• Best practices for combining identity signals (e.g., KYC, IP address, email, phone verification)
