As BFSI firms continue their modernisation journeys, artificial intelligence must be embedded in mainframe engineering to accelerate innovation and efficiency.
White Paper

Highlights
- Deepfakes are making it easier for fraudsters to manipulate images, videos, audio and other forms of evidence used by insurers.
- Synthetic fraud can affect far more than claims processing, creating risk across onboarding, distribution, payments and customer interactions.
- Insurers will need a combination of technology, governance and industry collaboration to stay ahead of emerging fraud techniques.

Overview
A few years ago, deepfakes were mostly seen as a technology curiosity. Today, they are increasingly being used to create convincing images, videos, audio recordings and documents that can be difficult to distinguish from genuine evidence. For insurers, this creates a new set of challenges around claims validation, customer trust and fraud prevention.
The Insurance industry has embraced digital claims processing, with customers now regularly submitting photos, videos and other supporting documents online. While this has made life much easier for customers and insurers alike, it has also created new opportunities for fraudsters.
Business Impact:
- More claims are now supported by digital evidence and remote assessments, creating new opportunities for fraud.
- Fraudulent payouts become harder to identify when claims are processed quickly through automated journeys.
- Increased fraud can contribute to claims leakage and affect overall profitability.
- Additional verification checks can drive up operational costs and create reputational concerns.
The financial stakes are already significant. In 2024, UK insurers detected £1.16 billion of fraudulent general insurance claims representing over 98,400 cases, up 12% year-on-year, even as fraudsters increasingly turn to AI-assisted image manipulation and synthetic identities.

The challenge is no longer fraud detection alone but maintaining trust in digital evidence
What are the risky scenarios?
When most people think of deepfakes in insurance, they immediately think about claims fraud. However, the impact goes much further. Fraudsters can use synthetic identities to bypass policy onboarding checks, impersonate brokers to issue bogus policies, or even clone voices to manipulate payment instructions. As these tools become easier to access, insurers need to consider the risk across the entire insurance value chain rather than viewing it as a claims-only issue.
How can insurers prevent deepfake frauds?
In response, insurers must adapt their fraud detection to identify and mitigate the risks posed by deepfakes by deploying advanced AI that can detect subtle anomalies in digital evidence.Additionally, collaboration among insurance companies, technology experts, and regulatory bodies is critical for developing robust frameworks and guidelines for addressing deepfake-related fraud in the insurance industry. Each of these institutions plays a crucial role in sharing research, detection methodologies, and case studies to help the industry stay ahead of emerging fraud threats.
There is no single solution to this challenge. Some insurers are already introducing biometric checks during onboarding and FNOL(First Notice of Loss), while others are strengthening voice authentication controls in their contact centres. Technologies such as content provenance and forensic image analysis are also gaining attention as organisations look for better ways to validate digital evidence before making decisions.
Conclusion
The insurance companies need to be vigilant to ensure their operations are safeguarded and customer interest is protected in a rapidly digitising world. Deepfakes may be emerging today, but the insurers must also keep pace with technological advancements to better understand risks and adapt their controls accordingly. The key is recognising the risk early and taking practical steps before it becomes a larger problem.
