NICE Actimize, a NICE Systems company and the largest and broadest provider of a single financial crime, risk and compliance software platform for the financial services industry, announced today that its Remote Banking Fraud solution is successfully enabling Malaysia's CIMB Bank to reduce fraud losses. Within the first 30 days after implementation, the Actimize Remote Banking Fraud solution detected and stopped 51 confirmed cases of fraud, preventing an estimated loss of approximately US$200,000. In addition, according to CIMB, success continues as additional numerous cases are detected and thwarted.

We believe that implementing the solution from NICE Actimize will instill greater confidence in our customers in banking with us online," said Peter England, Head of Retail Financial Services at CIMB.

Partnering with Unisys to implement the solution, NICE Actimize sold the Actimize Remote Banking Fraud solution to CIMB in 2010. The implementation was completed in January 2011 and is now being used to detect fraud in online transactions targeting more than 1.5 million active customer accounts.

The Actimize Remote Banking Fraud solution provides high volume, cross-channel transaction monitoring across multiple remote channels including web, phone, mobile and more. The solution enables institutions to detect fraudulent activities with online authentication, session monitoring, transaction monitoring and other fraud detection capabilities.
