NiCE Actimize 2025 Fraud Insights Report Shows Scams Still the Method of Choice in Attempted Fraud Transactions
According to the report, from 2023 to 2024, fraudsters' focus shifted back slightly towards Account Takeover (ATO) Fraud from Scams, in terms of the overall value of attempts. Scams are still the method of choice across 57% of attempted fraud transactions; however, ATO fraud is showing no sign of disappearing. From a volume perspective, there was a slight shift towards Scams to 52% in 2024 vs. 50/50 split in 2023.
In the U.S., the top fraud challenges vary significantly depending on whether the focus is on value (dollar amount of the transactions) or volume (number of transactions), the report says. The most notable development since last year's report, concerns international wires. In 2024, the total value of international wire transactions declined 6% year over year, but the value of attempted fraud for international wires surged 40%. Additionally, Zelle transactions saw a 26% increase in value, accompanied by a 34% rise in attempted fraud.
The report's data also revealed that 67% of all fraud is linked to just 7% of payments made to newly added payees—highlighting how fraudsters are exploiting when a new recipient is introduced into the payment flow.
'Industry collaboration is more crucial than ever. Sharing knowledge, expertise, and data helps us establish effective controls to safeguard financial institutions and their customers,' said Craig Costigan, CEO of NiCE Actimize. 'With our decades of experience, we've developed solutions that go beyond payments and by leveraging advanced AI, we've improved model building and operational efficiency for comprehensive protection at every stage. The fraud management community has a strong history of innovation, a value that we at NiCE Actimize have embedded at the very core of our organization.'
The report also highlights that international wire fraud attempts are becoming more targeted and sophisticated, often involving social engineering tactics and mule accounts across borders. Financial institutions are seeing a rise in fraud rings exploiting weak onboarding controls in cross-border payment systems, making international wires a growing area of concern despite their relatively low transaction volume.
The report's statistics also show that fraudsters are strategically targeting different payment types based on their characteristics—high-value fraud through checks and wires, and high-frequency, lower-value fraud through faster digital channels like Zelle. This underscores the need for channel-specific fraud prevention strategies.

With the increase in both the volume and complexity of scams, as the research reports, NiCE Actimize offers a comprehensive suite of solutions to help financial institutions stay ahead of these emerging threats.

What Does Penguin Solutions, Inc.'s (NASDAQ:PENG) Share Price Indicate?
Penguin Solutions, Inc. (NASDAQ:PENG), is not the largest company out there, but it received a lot of attention from a substantial price increase on the NASDAQGS over the last few months. The recent rally in share prices has nudged the company in the right direction, though it still falls short of its yearly peak. With many analysts covering the stock, we may expect any price-sensitive announcements have already been factored into the stock's share price. However, what if the stock is still a bargain? Let's take a look at Penguin Solutions's outlook and value based on the most recent financial data to see if the opportunity still exists. We've found 21 US stocks that are forecast to pay a dividend yield of over 6% next year. See the full list for free. Good news, investors! Penguin Solutions is still a bargain right now. Our valuation model shows that the intrinsic value for the stock is $29.64, but it is currently trading at US$19.81 on the share market, meaning that there is still an opportunity to buy now. However, given that Penguin Solutions's share is fairly volatile (i.e. its price movements are magnified relative to the rest of the market) this could mean the price can sink lower, giving us another chance to buy in the future. This is based on its high beta, which is a good indicator for share price volatility. Check out our latest analysis for Penguin Solutions Future outlook is an important aspect when you're looking at buying a stock, especially if you are an investor looking for growth in your portfolio. Buying a great company with a robust outlook at a cheap price is always a good investment, so let's also take a look at the company's future expectations. Penguin Solutions' revenue growth are expected to be in the teens in the upcoming years, indicating a solid future ahead. Unless expenses grow at the same level, or higher, this top-line growth should lead to robust cash flows, feeding into a higher share value. Are you a shareholder? Since PENG is currently undervalued, it may be a great time to increase your holdings in the stock. With an optimistic outlook on the horizon, it seems like this growth has not yet been fully factored into the share price. However, there are also other factors such as financial health to consider, which could explain the current undervaluation. Are you a potential investor? If you've been keeping an eye on PENG for a while, now might be the time to enter the stock. Its prosperous future outlook isn't fully reflected in the current share price yet, which means it's not too late to buy PENG. But before you make any investment decisions, consider other factors such as the track record of its management team, in order to make a well-informed investment decision. It can be quite valuable to consider what analysts expect for Penguin Solutions from their most recent forecasts. Luckily, you can check out what analysts are forecasting by clicking here.
