Five reasons SIF schemes are especially challenging to solve:

  1.  Companies are hesitant to share information with their competitors.
  2.  SIF is poorly understood - often improperly categorized as bad underwriting.
  3.  SIF applications leverage machine learning to blend in with other thin-credit accounts.
  4.  SIF profiles start out with applications for small loans, allowing them to fly under the fraud detection radar.
  5.  Lack of cooperation between anti-fraud, cyber security and IT teams.
