As synthetic identity fraud becomes more sophisticated, can you be certain your customers are really who they claim to be?

On 14 October 2026, ID-Pal in association with the International Compliance Association (ICA) is hosting a live webinar exploring the growing threat of synthetic identities and what compliance and fraud teams can do to detect them.

Synthetic identity fraud combines real and fabricated identity information to create identities that can appear legitimate. As these techniques evolve, organisations need to strengthen their ability to spot suspicious activity without introducing unnecessary friction for genuine customers.

What we’ll discuss

Rob O’Farrell, CTO and Co-founder of ID-Pal, will join Matthew Field, Head of the Fraud Advisory Panel, and Andrei Skorobogatov, Director of Policy at the Global Anti-Scam Alliance (GASA) for a panel discussion moderated by Pekka Dare, President of ICA.

The panel will explore:

  • Why synthetic identity fraud is becoming increasingly difficult to detect
  • Common red flags and practical approaches to identifying synthetic identities
  • The impact of synthetic identities on customer onboarding and identity verification
  • How organisations can strengthen fraud controls while maintaining a smooth customer experience

For compliance, fraud and risk professionals, it’s an opportunity to hear practical perspectives on an increasingly important challenge for digital identity verification.
