Network & Link Analysisvendor landscape.
Network and link analysis tools surface relationships between people, accounts, devices, transactions, and entities to support fraud and financial crime investigations.
How the risk develops
How fraud rings and laundering networks happen
Organized fraud and money laundering rely on many individually plausible entities whose relationships become suspicious only when viewed together.
- 01
A network of identities and accounts is assembled
A ring may combine synthetic identities, mule accounts, shell companies, devices, phone numbers, payment instruments, and shared addresses or infrastructure.
- 02
Each participant performs a limited role
One account may receive funds, another may forward them, and others may create applications, test payments, cash out, or provide apparently independent commerce.
- 03
Relationships are kept below individual thresholds
Attackers distribute activity across accounts, products, institutions, and time windows so point-in-time rules see separate events instead of one coordinated operation.
- 04
The ring scales or replaces exposed nodes
When one account or device is blocked, the network can substitute another while keeping beneficiaries, infrastructure, behavior, or transaction paths connected.
