Case Study: a bank fraud task force identifies ATM theft suspects faster with Clearview AI

Bank Fraud Task Force Member Identifies ATM Theft Suspect

The Bank Fraud Task Force, a group of bank officials and investigators, faced the complex challenge of identifying suspects who use counterfeit checks and IDs to commit ATM fraud. Traditional investigative methods like fingerprinting were slow and resource-intensive, making it difficult to stop suspects before they stole thousands of dollars. To accelerate identifications, the task force used the facial recognition service from vendor Clearview AI.

Clearview AI's solution provided an AI-driven facial recognition tool that compared an ATM camera image against a vast database of public source photos. This gave investigators a rapid investigative lead, identifying a suspect within seconds. The use of Clearview AI more than tripled the task force's identification rate of ATM theft suspects from less than 10% to over 30%, saving weeks of investigation time and preventing further financial loss.
