Sentry Service

Provides extended monitoring of consumer deposit activity

Continued Monitoring of Inquiry and Closure Activity for QualiFile® clients

Financial institutions (FIs) are notified if a consumer that opened a new deposit account with the FI has subsequent activity at other institutions that may signal potential attrition or new account fraud.

If two or more inquiries are reported by other financial institutions within the QualiFile consortium within 90 days of account opening, or if an account has been reported as forcibly closed due to suspected fraud or abuse by another financial institution within 180 days of account opening, the Sentry Service will generate two event monitoring alerts.
