AI Voice Fraud Is Targeting Financial Institutions

Reality Defender’s real-time deepfake detection protects your most vulnerable communication channels

AI-generated voice fraud is already breaching call centers, bypassing identity checks, and slipping past legacy tools. Reality Defender detects it in real time—before it turns into reputational or financial damage.

Most don’t realize it until it’s too late. This threat is fast, convincing, and engineered to bypass your security stack at points of trust. Bad actors already leverage AI-generated speech to impersonate leadership, bypass KYC systems, and overwhelm call centers through coordinated, AI-powered denial-of-service attacks.

How a Tier-One Bank Discovered AI Manipulations in Live Calls

A global tier-one bank observed a rise in sophisticated fraud attempts involving synthetic voice. While traditional systems missed the threat, Reality Defender flagged manipulated audio in real customer calls—providing secure, real-time analysis. The bank used confidence scoring to investigate flagged calls, triage response, and refine its fraud workflows without disrupting operations.
