New updates to 🚨 Beacon 🚨 are now available. Plaid’s Head of Identity, Alain Meier explains why the new data breach reports and ability to scan for fraud reports using account and routing numbers is so important.
Two inconvenient truths about US financial infrastructure: #1: if you have someone else’s bank account number and routing number, you can initiate an unauthorized bank transaction. The very account and routing number that are printed on every check you write. The ones you share every time you need to get paid via ACH. The ones that typically don’t change through the lifetime of your account. #2: Millions of bank account and routing numbers are floating around the dark web TODAY because of recent major data breaches, despite financial institutions’ best efforts to protect their consumers. Today we’re announcing two new features to address this in our 🚨 Beacon fraud consortium – data breach reports, and support for scanning for fraud reports using account + routing numbers. And we’re doing it for free, whether you’re an existing Beacon customer or looking to join. This means that when any of the millions of compromised identities or bank account details reported in Beacon are used on a customer’s platform - whether it be during onboarding, account recovery, or sending money - Beacon flags it immediately. DM me if you want access. Learn more about these new features and Plaid beacon here: https://lnkd.in/gxuYkDDx
