Dealer Fraud
Subex applies risk-based controls that target anomalous behaviour across your dealer network, shutting down incentive abuse while leaving top-performing dealers friction-free. Revenue stays protected, genuine partners stay productive, and fraud loses its hiding place in the noise. Cleaner channel, protected incentives, no drag on your best performers.
The Challenge
Dealer and channel abuse can drive incentive leakage, unauthorised activations, identity misuse, and downstream subscription or device fraud. The CFCA Global Fraud Loss Survey 2025 reports $5.45 billion in application fraud losses and $4.18 billion in device and hardware reselling losses.
Abuse of dealer incentives can create direct financial leakage and downstream fraud.
Unauthorized activations and identity misuse increase regulatory and reputational risk.
Channel oversight is difficult when data is spread across sales, activation, and usage systems.
Manual reviews are slow and often happen after losses occur.
Real Impact. Real Efficiency. Real Results.
Reduce leakage from dealer incentive abuse and unauthorized activity.
Improve channel governance with clear, data-driven dealer risk insights.
Accelerate investigations with evidence that connects sales, activation, and early usage signals.
Protect genuine dealers by targeting controls at anomalous patterns.
