Advanced Fraud Solutions Sees Growth in New Bank Customers, Partnerships in 2021

HIGH POINT, N.C., March 8, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Advanced Fraud Solutions (AFS), a leader in payments fraud detection software, today announced a significant increase in new banking customers and partnerships in 2021. AFS' growth coincides with the launch of two new products – TrueACH with Account Validation and AFS Positive Pay – as well as improvements to its existing solutions, TrueChecks and TrueCards.

In 2021, AFS oversaw a 26% YoY increase in new banking customers and a 29% YoY increase in new technology and reseller partnerships. AFS also continued to grow its credit union customers, where it currently serves half of the top 100 CUs in the U.S. With the increase in payments fraud over the past two years, AFS' customers benefited from a reduction in fraud losses on check, card and ACH transactions.

"We saw firsthand how payments fraud increased since the start of the pandemic, and throughout 2021," said Lawrence Reaves, President and CEO at AFS. "AFS' dedicated team worked around the clock to innovate and stay ahead of fraud's advancements, stopping losses before they could occur. The growth in new banking and credit union customers, as well as new partnerships, underscores the progress we've made over the past year."

AFS' has taken strategic steps to expand its capabilities, including the release of two new solutions in 2021, True ACH with Account Validation and AFS Positive Pay.
