First Tech Federal Credit Union
Cross-channel fraud detection with Featurespace
Featurespace reported 84% less money lost to fraud at First Tech between 2022 and 2024
Problem
First Tech's fraud alerts were fragmented across systems. Investigators struggled to connect activity to a complete member history.
Approach
First Tech deployed Featurespace in 2022 and introduced adaptive rules. It subsequently added machine learning that built behavioral profiles for individual members. The platform supported monitoring across payment channels.
Results
Takeaway
The implementation combined adaptive rules with behavioral machine learning. The reported loss reduction covered the platform deployment rather than an isolated model change.
