AI Fraud Protection Technology Reduces Fraud Exposure by Approximately $1 Million Per Quarter So Far

LAS VEGAS, NV, Nov. 04, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Consumer Portfolio Services, Inc. (Nasdaq: CPSS) (“CPS” or the “Company”), a leader in providing indirect automobile financing to consumers, today announced that it has partnered with SentiLink, a leading provider of advanced identity verification and fraud detection solutions. The partnership enables CPS to improve its fraud prevention efforts while also saving the Company approximately $1 million per quarter so far.

SentiLink’s AI-driven technology analyzes key identity and fraud indicators to generate actionable reports for CPS, helping the Company lend to legitimate, verified borrowers. This improvement in fraud detection directly supports CPS’s goal of significantly reducing lifetime portfolio losses, ultimately reinforcing financial performance.

“Fraud prevention is an increasingly vital component of our risk management strategy,” said Robert DeJarnette, VP of Risk Management at CPS. “With the rise in fraud attempts across the subprime auto sector, SentiLink’s technology will continue to be instrumental in helping us detect fraudulent activity early and reduce exposure within our portfolio.”

Mike Lavin, COO of CPS, added: “SentiLink’s fraud detection capabilities have already helped us lower our fraud exposure by over $1 million each quarter so far. As we continue to optimize our technology, we expect to further reduce risks for our lending partners while supporting our continued growth in the subprime lending market.”

Staying at the forefront of technology has become a key performance differentiator for CPS, enabling the Company to refine its underwriting processes, enhance dealer performance, and strengthen risk management. Through the thoughtful application of advanced AI and machine learning, CPS is well-positioned to drive sustained growth in the years ahead.
