Enhanced Fraud Detection Partnership in Automotive Insurance
Strategic Collaboration Enhances Fraud Detection in Automotive Retail
Published on February 6, 2026
Axle, renowned for its comprehensive insurance data API, has partnered with Experian, a global leader in data and technology, to enhance fraud detection and regulatory compliance in the automotive industry. This strategic collaboration integrates Axle's real-time automotive insurance verification technology into Experian’s Fraud Protect platform, a widely-used tool by car dealers and lenders to prevent fraud effectively.
Boosting Fraud Protection with Real-time Data
Fraud Protect already includes features like verifying customer identity, income, and trade-in ownership. With the addition of Axle's capabilities, the platform now supports instant verification of active insurance coverage, a critical measure to secure automotive transactions. This integration allows dealers to promptly validate policy status, coverage limits, and vehicle identification numbers, ensuring compliance before a vehicle is delivered.
The integration seamlessly connects with existing dealer systems via a mobile-friendly workflow, consolidating multiple verification processes into a streamlined system. This enhancement addresses the growing concerns about fraud within the sector; according to Experian research, a significant percentage of automotive dealers and lenders perceive fraud as an increasing threat.
Tackling Rising Fraud Threats
By merging real-time insurance data with Experian’s advanced analytics tools, dealers can effectively identify various fraudulent activities, including synthetic identities and high-risk applicants. This functionality minimizes the risk of financial losses related to chargebacks and buybacks by identifying fraud risk early in the transaction process.
Robert Granados, President of Experian Automotive, emphasized the increasing sophistication of fraud schemes that exploit gaps in digital retail workflows. “Integrating Axle’s insurance verification strengthens our ability to protect dealer portfolios from evolving fraud risks,” he stated.
Innovative Use of Insurance Data
Armaan Sikand, Co-founder and COO of Axle, highlighted the strategic use of insurance data beyond mere regulatory compliance. "Our partnership with Experian transforms insurance data into a key asset for preventing fraud, while ensuring a seamless customer experience," Sikand noted. The integration enhances existing systems, adding insurance verification capabilities without requiring dealers to adopt new tools.
Experian’s wide-ranging services cover multiple sectors, including financial services, healthcare, and automotive industries, supported by a global workforce dedicated to delivering data-driven insights. Concurrently, Axle positions its technology as a vital resource for automating insurance processes, backed by investment from notable technology sector leaders.
