As the banking landscape grapples with solvency issues and economic uncertainty, an unexpected and insidious threat has emerged: voice deepfakes. Long considered something that would take years to advance in the realm of AI technology, voice deepfakes have now evolved into a sophisticated and deployable tool for fraudsters, causing chaos for both banks and their clients.

In the past few years, we witnessed an uptick in cases of fraud involving voice deepfakes. Once a rare occurrence, the rise in accessibility and prevalence of these fabricated audio files has made it increasingly challenging for even the largest banks in the world to know who they're really talking to. Criminals use these advanced technologies to impersonate bank clients, deftly bypassing fraud checks and transferring millions of dollars at a time with off-the-shelf software.

As Co-Founder and CEO of Reality Defender, I witnessed the havoc that these deepfake scams can wreak. That's why we expanded our platform to include cutting-edge technology that can help banks combat voice deepfake fraud. Our future-proof voice deepfake detection tools not only enhance a company's existing anti-fraud measures; they act as a much-needed extra barrier of protection, giving banks a way to assure customers that their money is protected from bad actors using even the most advanced voice deepfaking methods.
