Speech analytics to reduce fraud:
These data show us the bigger picture on how important it is to detect and prevent fraud for any business. To fraudsters, contact centers and customer service centers are the easiest entry points to commit fraud and vanish. The reasons are pretty simple – easy and manual authentication procedures through passwords or personal details to access the customer account or data.
To fight fraud, many contact centers recognize speech analytics as a powerful tool. Speech analytics provides the ability to identify in real-time any mis-selling and improper conduct in customer interactions and therefore enable instant manual intervention. It helps businesses detect spam and malicious behavior on both sides i.e. customer’s end and agent’s end.
- Tracking customer fraud – Based on keyword spotting for the right words, businesses can detect fraud early, and also focus on high-risk transactions instead of having to scan large volumes of calls.
