NEW YORK, November 30 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Actimize, a NICE Systems
(NASDAQ:NICE) company and the largest and broadest provider of a single
financial crime, risk and compliance software platform for the financial
services industry, and Unisys Corporation (NYSE: UIS) today announced that
Bancolombia is working with both firms to strengthen its ability to fight
fraud across the entire bank. Bancolombia is implementing Actimize ATM/Debit,
Remote Banking, Wire & ACH Fraud prevention solutions. As a strategic
Actimize partner, Unisys is working on deployment of the solutions.
As a leader in the Colombian market, Bancolombia strives to best protect
customer and firm assets by combating the threat of fraud across all its
lines of business. Once deployed, the Actimize suite of fraud prevention
solutions will monitor all types of transactions enterprise-wide, alerting on
suspicious behavior and blocking truly risky transactions.
"We performed an exhaustive review of all the top fraud prevention
solutions in the market, looking for a single vendor who can cover our entire
enterprise fraud needs," said Joaquin Fernando Yepes, IT security and
compliance director at Bancolombia. "Actimize solutions and Unisys services
are a major component of Bancolombia's strategy to provide greater levels of
security to our customers."
Financial institutions are being confronted with new types of fraud
attacks on a daily basis. In the past, fraud criminals typically specialized
in a single channel (e.g., credit card fraud, online banking fraud), but now
high loss fraud events increasingly incorporate multiple channels. The
Actimize enterprise-wide fraud solution suite protects across all channels,
from ATM/Debit cards, remote banking (online, mobile phone, phone), deposit,
electronic payment and more. Additionally, Actimize solutions monitor many
types of employee behavior, looking for and alerting investigators to
suspicious activities.
"Fraud is a global problem that has no boundaries," said Amir Orad,
executive vice president and chief marketing officer at Actimize. "Our
strategic partnership with Unisys helps Actimize ensure quality deployments
around the globe. Our cross-channel financial crime prevention solutions are
today used by firms around the world because they scale to meet the
challenges faced by large, complex enterprises while maintaining the
flexibility to exceed group level and individual expectations."
