Behind the Bust-Out: Decoding First-Party Fraud in Auto Lending

Breakfast Session: October 7th, 8 AM

Join us for a breakfast session at Auto Finance Summit on Wednesday, October 7th, in our meeting room, Genoa, located on the Promenade South Level. The session will begin at 8:00 am.  

About the Session:

First-party fraud is fundamentally reshaping how auto lenders assess applicant risk. Among all verticals SentiLink monitors, auto lending shows the highest first-party fraud ratewith more than 5% of top-of-funnel applications flagged as risky. As identity fraud evolves from isolated fraud attempts to coordinated, infrastructure-driven operations, detection models built solely around identity attributes are struggling to keep pace.

In this session, SentiLink's Head of Auto Fraud, Kyle Rohrs, will break down the common tactics bust-out consumers use to mask their true intent — and identify which data sources most reliably signal first-party fraud risk.

PLEASE NOTE: Space is limited. Pre-registration and confirmation via the form are required to attend.

If you can't join us for the session but would like to catch up with us at Auto Finance Summit, schedule a 1:1 meeting or simply stop by our booth #311. 

We hope to see you there!
