The banking industry isn’t ready to fight AI-enabled deepfakes

Banks are built to hold money, not move it. This leaves high-value transactors like PE firms and their fund administrators scrambling with callbacks and workarounds that don’t work.

Private equity professionals need purpose-built transaction tools — this is why we built 6lock.

Banks are built to hold money, not move it. This leaves high-value transactors like PE firms and their fund administrators scrambling with callbacks and workarounds that don’t work.

Meanwhile, fraudsters are using every evolving tech trick to take advantage — and they target private equity because they know your transactions involve massive dollar amounts.

The private equity industry is especially vulnerable to deepfakes because:

  • Deal structures often involve complex, high-value wire transfers
  • Time-sensitive transactions create pressure to expedite verification
  • Relationship-based business models rely heavily on trusted voice and video communications

Considering that a single deepfake can compromise millions, the cost of adding robust identity verification protocols is negligible.

And the time 6lock saves on useless callbacks and endless emails is enormous.
