CSI has strengthened its Elder Fraud Protection capabilities through a strategic partnership with Carefull. As a result, the company now equips financial institutions with advanced AI-powered tools. These tools help detect scams before funds leave accounts. The partnership allows CSI’s bank and credit union clients to protect older customers more effectively. Moreover, families also gain access to tools that prevent fraud and financial mistakes. These solutions integrate smoothly into online and mobile banking platforms.
Elder financial exploitation continues to rise across the United States. According to the FBI, Americans aged 60 and above lost $4.86 billion in 2024. Additionally, the average loss per victim exceeded $33,000. Therefore, financial institutions must adopt stronger Elder Fraud Protection strategies. At the same time, fraud techniques have become more advanced. For instance, scammers now use AI-generated voice cloning and deepfake impersonations. Furthermore, they deploy highly targeted phishing and investment fraud schemes. Consequently, institutions face increasing pressure to improve fraud detection systems.
Carefull addresses these challenges with AI-driven technology. Specifically, the platform detects more than 70 elder fraud patterns. These include suspicious transactions, sudden spending changes, and unusual financial behavior. Thus, institutions can respond quickly to potential threats.
“Elder fraud is one of the fastest-growing threats facing our industry, and financial institutions are often on the front lines of protecting vulnerable account holders,” said Linda Fischer, chief commercial officer at CSI. “Through our partnership with Carefull, we’re helping banks and credit unions extend their role beyond transactions, providing protection for older consumers and their families while strengthening the relationships that are central to community banking.”
Key Features Strengthening Elder Fraud Protection
Carefull enhances traditional fraud systems by focusing on behavioral signals unique to older adults. As a result, institutions gain deeper insights into customer activity. The platform offers senior-specific fraud detection. It uses AI models designed to reduce false positives. However, it still maintains normal account activity.Additionally, caregiver access allows trusted individuals to monitor alerts. This feature uses role-based permissions to protect sensitive data. Moreover, the system provides clear and actionable alerts. These notifications use simple language, helping families act quickly. Consequently, support calls and branch visits decrease.
Financial institutions also benefit from detailed reporting tools. These insights include performance indicators that track program success. Furthermore, the platform supports rapid deployment. Institutions can launch services quickly without complex integrations. They can also offer easy enrollment through direct sign-up links. Beyond fraud detection, Carefull delivers a complete financial safety suite. This includes scam risk assessments, identity monitoring, and home title tracking. In addition, users receive secure document storage and educational resources. These tools specifically support individuals aged 55 and above.
“Financial institutions have an opportunity to strengthen customer relationships in ways that drive long-term growth,” said Todd Rovak, co-founder at Carefull. “Banks and credit unions are often at the center of major family financial decisions, especially as consumers navigate aging, caregiving and generational wealth transitions. By working with CSI, we’re helping institutions deliver added value that builds trust, deepens multigenerational engagement, improves retention and supports deposit growth by positioning them as a true ally to the families they serve.”
Overall, this collaboration positions CSI as a leader in Elder Fraud Protection. It also helps financial institutions build trust while improving customer security.
