Utilities

Do you know who’s attempting to establish an account with you? Are your customers gaming the system to receive age-related or other discounts or assistance to which they’re not entitled? Is there a potential issue of identity theft?

LexisNexis can help you answer these questions, and more. Our solutions enable you to verify the legitimacy of an identity, authenticate that it belongs to the person presenting it and then identify an applicant's risk of committing fraud to help you devise an intelligent fraud prevention strategy that:

• Speeds customer acquisition for faster revenue and minimizes service delays for legitimate customers
• Streamlines decisions to increase operational efficiencies
• Reduces operating costs
• Reduces fraudulent write-offs
• Lowers false positives

LexisNexis has the industry’s largest identity repository, boasting more than 95% of U.S. adults and with more than 1 billion business contacts. In addition to extensive residential profiles, assets and derogatory histories, our solutions leverage the power of our proprietary algorithms and scoring capabilities to identify fraud patterns. In the business realm, we have coverage on greater than 300 million unique businesses, which helps us verify critical identity information quickly and economically.

Whether dealing with potential stolen, synthetic or manipulated identities, LexisNexis solutions can help you predict and prevent fraud while minimizing customer friction and enabling you to quickly approve legitimate customers. LexisNexis is committed to providing on-point and innovative solutions to address the changing needs of utility providers. The new Premise Association Report, for example, helps you ensure that individuals don’t succeed in re-establishing service for a roommate or family member who has previously defaulted at the same location.
