Overview: The paper provides a detailed overview of the technologies, tools and processes that financial institutions are using today to combat identity theft?and offers recommendations for voluntary guidelines by which the financial services industry will work to prevent identity theft and assist those who fall victim to it. Preventive measures include precautions taken at account opening, tools for verifying transactions, and employee training. Considered particularly effective in preventing identity theft are authentication methods, which verify the customer's identity before granting access to account information. Relevant credit bureau mitigation practices, which were provided to BITS from credit bureau representatives, are also outlined.
