ID-Detect catches £3+ million in fraud for Finset

Background

Finset, an innovative car financing platform, faced a rising challenge: fraud. As the asset financing sector experiences significant fraud growth, Finset needed a robust identity verification solution to protect itself and its stakeholders.

The challenge

As asset finance fraud continues to escalate in the UK, Finset needed to respond effectively. Misuse of facility cases rose 35% in the first half of 2025, making up almost a quarter of all fraud recorded to the National Fraud Database.

Finset sought a solution that could:

Prevent financial loss due to fraud
Ensure regulatory compliance
Streamline onboarding processes

ID-Pal’s multi-layer solution has helped prevent more than £3 million worth of potential fraud over the last 2 years, enabling Finset to not only comply with the FCA, but protect the industry as a whole from reputational damage. ID-Pal’s high level of customisation and seamless integration with existing processes continues to aid operational efficiencies and provide trusted confidence when onboarding
