NICE Actimize, a NICE Systems company and the largest and broadest provider of a single financial crime, risk and compliance software platform for the financial services industry, announced today that its Remote Banking Fraud solution is successfully enabling Malaysia's CIMB Bank to reduce fraud losses. Within the first 30 days after implementation, the Actimize Remote Banking Fraud solution detected and stopped 51 confirmed cases of fraud, preventing an estimated loss of approximately US$200,000. In addition, according to CIMB, success continues as additional numerous cases are detected and thwarted.
