AI bots identify scam payment destinations

Navy Federal used AI-gathered account information to interrupt scam transfers

WorkingCompany's own claim

Problem

Scams were difficult to detect because members themselves authorized payments. Conventional fraud defenses looked for signs that someone else was moving the money.

Approach

Navy Federal began working with Cube AI in January 2026. Cube's bots posed as potential victims and conversed with scammers until they disclosed payment accounts or handles. The credit union used that information to warn members and interrupt transfers to identified destinations.

Results

No published figures

Takeaway

The account information gave staff evidence about payment recipients when warning members. Navy Federal did not quantify savings attributable specifically to Cube AI.
